Code folding/collapsing?

Just wondering if there are any plans for for this either as a feature or a plugin.

It would be really nice to be able to collapse control structures for really big procedures.
 
Equally curious as to whether this made it into v6. Guess we will have to wait a few more days before we can take it for a test drive.

Also, I think we should take this beyond PL/SQL control structures, and extend it to any closed pair the PL/SQL language syntax recognizes, including SELECT, UPDATE, INSERT, MERGE....
 
In 6.0 you cannot collapse/expand the actual source code, but the code contents will show a treeview for all PL/SQL code (not just the functions) and code hierarchy will make it easy top highlight your current scope.

Furthermore the editor will automatically highlight related if/then/else/endif, loop/end loop, case/end case, and parentheses.
 
Yes, this is planned for 7.1. In the current 7.0.3 release you can already see the collapsible editor in the XML viewer of the Large Data Editor. This will be expanded to SQL and PL/SQL Editors in 7.1.
 
It is also on the News page, but who checks those each day?

Marco, would you add one more step to the release process for lazy people like me? Post a note to the forum when the new version is available?

Thank you.

Now to find the only one who can do the download and get him to do it for me.
 
The "Check Online Updates" option will automatically notify you when a new release is available, if configured properly (Tools > Preferences > Other / Updates & News).

Information on the forum will quickly disappear out of sight, so I doubt that would help.
 
Except in the case where my email is on one PC and my PLSD is on another.

I disagree, I check the forums each time that I come over here to check my email (well, at least twice a day).

I will admit that my work conditions are probably very unique amoungst your customer base.
 
Except in the case where my email is on one PC and my PLSD is on another...
...and the other PC does not have internet access.

Maybe we can create an additional mailing list where users can subscribe.
 
...and they are in separate rooms.

The mailing list would be good, but not if the only ones that can sign up are those on the purchase agreement (I am still trying to track him down so he can download the 7.0.3 version).

Thank you Marco
