Bug: not possible to paste file in empty PL/SQL Developer

[Claus Pedersen]

I am often using the feature of copy-pasting a file into PL/SQL Developer to open the file.

Unfortunately, this only works when at least one window has already been opened in PLD, i.e. is does not work when PLD is just started.

When the user has opened one window and closed it again, copy-paste works.

Maybe some kind of initialisation that happens when a window is opened is missing?

It works fine for me. Can you check if Edit > Paste is enabled immediately after PL/SQL Developer is started?

If I open PL/SQL Developer with no windows, the only enabled options in the Edit menu are:

• PL/SQL Beautifier options ...
• Search bar
• Bookmark list

I open a file in the program window and close it again.
Now the following options are enabled:

• PL/SQL Beautifier options ...
• Search bar
• Show Special Characters
• Code folding
• Bookmark list

but still not Paste.

Only when I open a window where I can paste, .i.e. a source that can be edited, I can paste a file.

The paste option should always be working for files.

And how can PLSD tell which type of window(program, test, sql, command etc.) to open for the current paste?

 

[Claus Pedersen]

I suppose it depends on the file extension of the link in the clip-board?

 

[Marco Kalter]

We found out why the Edit > Paste menu items is sometimes not enabled. This is fixed for the next release.

Thanks, would be appreciated ...
