How to skip "Connections" screen?

[HelmutB]

With PL/SQL Developer 11 we find a new dialog "Connections" showing "Imported Fixed Users", "Imported History", "Recent".
I have upgraded from release 8, where that does not exist.

I can select a connection and then I get the *real* logon dialog that also allows to select any recent connection.

After logon the "Connections" are still shown, but the PL/SQL Developer window is minimized and must be opened from the taskbar.
Then I have to manually close the "Connections".

Is there a way to get rid of this "feature" other than uninstall 11 and get back to version 8?

The Connection List logon dialog can be disabled by using the NoConnectionList command-line parameter. For example:

"C:\Program Files\PLSQL Developer\plsqldev.exe" NoConnectionList

You can also set this in the params.ini file in the PL/SQL Developer installation director:

NoConnectionList=1

The Connection List in PL/SQL Developer can be docked or closed. If you subsequently select the "Save Layout" item from the Window menu, this will be the default layout.

I have my PL/SQL Developer shortcut set to log me into my dev account automatically. Then if I need to change to a different account I just pick it off the connections list.

You can use the command-line parameter: nologon

This worked well!
But the PL/SQL Developer screen still gets minimized. I then have to click on it twice in the windows task bar.
