Export Tables - File Per Object (Feature Request)

[mheimlich]

Is it possible to add a "File per object" option when multiple tables are selected in the Export Tables form?

This would allow for a single click export of multiple tables, each one to its own, self named file. This would be similar to the Export User Objects form and would significantly reduce the time spent on versioning our configuration data.

Thanks.

This should be doable. I have added this to the list of enhancement requests.

Excellent, thank you very much.
I will definitely be looking for it!

I'm trying to use this in a trial version of 7.1.5.1398. It seems to be offered, but doesn't seem to work. In Tools | Export User Objects the "single file" option works great. But the "file per object" option just gives me the main file with the calls -- the object-specific called files (e.g. .prc for procedures, .fnc for functions) are nowhere to be found! I've tried different object types, different output filename types, output directory name without filename, combinations of the Include checkboxs. I always get the main output file and never get any the called files. What's the trick? Thanks.

The individual files are located in the same directory as the main file. The file names are the same as the object names, with an object specific extension.
