Is there a way to Exit PLSQL Developer while preserving the open window list?

[SaKa]

Some times I want to restart my laptop and i may have number of windows open in PLSQL Developer and i don't want to save/load them individually just to allow the laptop reboot and resume work with PLSQLDeveloper.

At present, i can achieve it this way; if i kill the PLSQLDeveloper in Windows Task Manager. After I login to same database it prompts whether to load a recovery file and it loads all of them perfectly.

Now i appreciate its not ideal to kill programs every time. Just trying to see if there is a way that you can do a similar thing with a proper exit.

Thanks in advance

You may add the "desktop" command-line parameter to your shortcut. It will look like: plsqldev.exe desktop=mydesk

After that, when you close the program, you'll be prompted to save each window (unless already saved, of course). You can just say "No". When you reopen the program, all of your windows will be there.

Regards,
Gustavo

Thanks for the reply, your solution works fine, but it doesn't unfortunately work for my requirement. I keep logging into different databases and the need to restart only apply occasionally. If i were to use the suggested Desktop command line then every time i open it, it will load the previously opened windows which i don't want.

I am looking for more on-demand way to save it only when i need to do so.

Thanks

Hi, you can see plugins sailor
It can save all of your windows opened with one key
And when you restart your program, you can select and open any of the windows saved open which you want.

hi,
You can do what I do - find the process in windows task manager and kill it. Now the next time you open PlSqlDeveloper you'll get all the
the windows you've been working with automatically.
