Feature request: Saving Instance Profile

[null0000]

Quite often I come across the situation when I need to "crash" PLD in order to use recovery feature next time as i need all windows with their content for the next time. It happens when lets say PLD was up for few days and all over sudden we have patches applied on the network.
I know that there is a command-line parameter that would allow to do that , but when PLD is being up for few days it's a bit late to use that feature .
so, could you add an option that would allow gracefully save PLD instance with all open windows and their current content ?

on another note:
PLD has grown to the very rich app , but index for the User Guide does not exist?

I have added this to the list of enhancement requests.

I support this request. I think it has been asked many times before and would help a lot of people. With this feature I would be able to turn off my computer for the weekend without loosing all the windows and queries that I don't want to save.

One of our developers, only closes PSD with task manager, to save his files

I think the better way is to use the recall statements.

I know one such developer, too.

In that case he or she should use the desktop= parameter. For example:

"C:\Program Files\PLSQL Developer\plsqldev.exe" desktop=dev

This will save and restore the desktop using the same method as the crash recovery. You can use different names for multiple configurations.

This is a good feature, but as crash recovery, it restores windows ordered by last used parameter (or something similar), not in the order user left them. This is quite annoying as I constantly have 30-40 windows opened. Resorting them, uhh..

I believe this bug has also been reported.

Very nice feature!
But I am still have to learn how it would work with multiple open instances. Last closed instance will dictate the configuration of windows, which will be applied to new-opened instances, I guess ?

In that case he or she should use the desktop= parameter. For example:

"C:\Program Files\PLSQL Developer\plsqldev.exe" desktop=dev

how can I use this parameter with "Project=*" parameter together?

 

[Killservice]

I found self that ;-)

in desktop shortcut must be:
"C:\Program Files\PLSQL Developer\plsqldev.exe" "desktop=dev" "Project=*"
