Mutliple Template Directories

[Stephan B]

Hi.

Is there a method to set multiple template directories? Similar to the files sidebar it would be great to for example have a template folder for my personal templates, team templates and general templates. But when I add those folders to the files sidebar, I just can open the whole file but not insert it (and auto execute substitution variables) into a sql window.

Can somebody help me?

This is currently not possible. I have added this to the list of enhancement requests.

I think what you are asking for is for your team templates to be on a shared directory and use them. If that's what you like (and I would also), then there's no way to do that. It is possible to copy your team templates into the PL/SQL Developer template directory and use them though. I suspect you know how, but just in case, here is how:

Don't put your templates into the files sidebar. Select "View | Template List" if your template sidebar is not showing. Now, in an empty space, right click and select New Folder. Give it a name. Now, put your templates in there and you can use them like the other templates. If you have a lot of templates, you can open %APPDATA%, then select the PLSQL Developer 14 folder (or whatever version you have), then "Template" folder and paste them all in your new folder.

Hi and thanks for your replies. I will see forwards to this feature, as it would greatly improve our daily use of templates and the user experience with the developer within our corporation.

Or you can use my template plugin. You can have different locations for you personal, group and company templates.https://plugins.bar-solutions.comhttps://bar-solutions.com/download/plsqldeveloper/x64/Template.zip
