Issue: Is there some way to disable the "Insert template" Option in editor Pop up menu

Hi,

Is there some way to disable the "Insert template" option in the editor pop up menu

As I have a lot of templates (50+ MB) and also on a network drive
every time i right click the editor and the focus unintentionally goes to Insert Template Option there is a delay/pause of 10-15 seconds which is very irritating

I tried moving the templates folder to a the local drive (by changing the path in the directories preference) but the delay is still there

Thanks,
Ashish

There is currently no way to disable this. Note however that the templates are not read, it merely reads the directory contents. Can you confirm that doing a recursive directory listing of your templates directory takes 10-15 seconds?

Hi Marco,

Yes ... I tried to understand what the problem was in the last few days
It does take 10-15 seconds if the focus goes to that value after quite some time say half hour to one hour
Once listed... if I immediately navigate to the insert template then there is no delay and is displayed instantly (hence not stopping me from navigating to other menu items on the pop-up)

But after I work for a while say 20 mins to half hour (Note I may not be using Plsql developer too) and come across the situation to copy some text from the editor and navigate unintentionally to the insert template - the pause returns

Another Concern is that the window list (on the left hand side below the object browser) starts blinking a lot every time when I load an object (trigger, package into editor window) as if its doing some check on all open windows.
I can live with that but what surprises me is that it happens even when I close any editor window
