backup feature

[peisima]

Hi,
I am using PLSQL DEV Version 5.1.6.747 and WINDOW XP. In preference on backup tab, I checked both "save on execute" and "save on time interval" and chose the directory to a folder in my document. Nothing got saved on execute and I tried reading help. But the help screenshot is different from what I see. it doesn't have an option to specify a directory. Please let me know how to set up the directory or where these backup files are stored.
Thanks.

The recovery files created through "Save on execute" and "Save on time interval" are stored in a temporary will only be used when you recover from a crash.

Backup files will be created when you save a file. The previous version will be copied to the specified directory before it is overwritten by the new version.

On the subject of the recovery files, am I the only person who deliberately crashes (i.e. kills in task manager) PLSQL Developer in order to be able to reopen all the files/packages/sql windows they were working with without having to save them and so being forced to name them all? Is there a legitimate way of achieving this effect without resorting to Alt-Tab that I've just not spotted (highly likely I'd have thought), and if not could I suggest it as an improvement.

I know of one other user who does this

As a result, we have an enhancement request to have an option to restore the desktop like this in a regular way.
