Migrating Macros

[mike]

Version 12 and 13 are separate folders in the program files directory and act like separate programs. As a result, my macros are in version 12 and not in version 13.

Is there a way to move the macro library from version 12 to 13, or do I need to recreate my macro library with each release?

Thanks,
Mike

The macro library should have automatically migrated from 12.0 to 13.0. Can you go to the following directory?

%APPDATA%\PLSQL Developer 12

If all is well you have a "Macro" subdirectory there. If so, copy it to:

%APPDATA%\PLSQL Developer 13

There is not a Macro subdirectory in PLSQL Developer or PLSQL Developer 12, but there is one in PLSQL Developer 13. I do have macros in those versions though, so I don't get it.

Anyway, it looks like when 14 comes out it should migrate since there's a folder in 13. I'll just recreate it this time.

Thanks,
Mike

That's odd. Can you start PL/SQL Developer 12.0 without connecting, go to Help > Support Info and send me the text from the "Info" tab page?

I sent it.

For others that have the same issue, I found the macro folder for version 12 in the directory that PLSQL Developer is installed (For me it is C:\Program Files\PLSQL Developer 12\Macro). If you copy that to %APPDATA%\PLSQL Developer 13, it will be migrated.
