Edit file from file explorer

[Shejn]

Hi all,

Short Q here. Is there a way to open file from file manager into already opened pl/sql developer. Ive tried but everytime it opens new pl/sql dev.

Can you go to Preferences > Files > Extensions, and press the "Register Filetypes" button to register the extensions again? You may need to restart the PC before this takes effect.

It's working, thank you very mutch. One more thing, we don't have standard suffixes for pck head & body.

It's like that (=:
head = *_1_h.sql
body = *_2_b.sql

I would say that there is no way to link this with preferences extensions.

... I have a lot of questions=).

Would there be a way for Deveoper to ignore these fie endings:
/
show error

You can still define .sql as an extension for "Program Files", so that a .sql file always opens in a Program Window.

You can go to Preferences > Program Window and enable the "Ignore unrecognized PL/SQL" option. This way SQL*Plus commands like "SHOW ERRORS" will be ignored.

Using *.sql for everything including SQL scripts and PL/SQL source code is a terrible idea. They do it on my current project but it turns out they don't need to (the deployment script we use used to have a limitation, but it doesn't any more) and it's only a convention. Maybe you can get it changed. Java developers would never let themselves be forced to use .java for all Java-related files.

Hi Marco,

I was trying to make one tool script, is it possible to past parameter #dir or #path with windows path not PL/SQL internal which gives \INTERF~1\. For cvs history diff I need full windows path.

Regards,
