Bugs & Enhancement Requests

Hi,
I've noticed three bugs that really annoy me:

1) When opening the HTML manuals window and
issuing Ctrl + F, PL/SQL developer actually
opens the find dialog of the underlaying
window (meaning the code editor), same for
all kinds of actions, its like the help
window is not in focus, rather the code window
is. Same for Ctrl + C etc.

2) After double clicking the HTML manuals window
caption, the window is maximized, double click
it again make it restore the previous window
size but right after that it is again
maximized.

3) When editing PL/SQL the editor is unable to
parse this: $if $$tracing $then $end and it
breaks the list of procedures/functions on the
left of the code window.

Some enhancement requests:

1) Query run time indication, I'd like to know
how much time has passed since a query/plsql
block was executed even _Before_ the query
returns, after the query returns PL/SQL
developer already tells me the amount of time
it took for the query to return.

2) Customization of the actions of the "kill
session" and "trace session" buttons in the
session dialog. Maybe even the option to define
your own buttons and their action (in PL/SQL
of course).

3) This one is only a dream, I don't expect you to
implement it, but it would be nice:
after issuing a trace, a button which will
bring the trace file from the database (via ssh
or other method) and then format it using
TKPROF and show it to the user. Even better
if the client could issue the TKPROF on the
database server, and then only bring the
formmated file back to the client (because
not everyone has TKPROF on their computers)
 
We'll look into the issues, and I have added your enhancement requests to the list.

About enhancement request 2: note that you can already define "Session Tools" (Tools > Configure Tools) to perform any kind of SQL within a session, and create toolbar buttons for them.
