recovery

[gad]

Hello,
I use the recovery feature not as planned but as suggested by someone here.
I use taskman to forcefully close plsql developer in order to recover my environment later on.
I also use more than 1 instance of plsql dev open.
At one point I ended with 3 recovery items presented upon using plsql dev.
It worked OK for some time, I could recover all three instances. Now I have a situation where choosing 1 of the recovery items makes all the other disapear, but they reapear the next time I boot my machine and use plsql dev!
My questions are:
1. Can I backup the recovery items so I'll be sure to not loose them? Where are the recovery files located?
2. I put in another vote for making recovery something like "save environment" on the menu.

TIA

I also noticed that old recovery items sometimes appear when opening PLSD.

The "Save environment" option is on the list of enhancement requests.

The recovery files can be backed up if you want. They are saved under %TEMP%\PLS-Recovery. This directory will be empty after a normal PL/SQL Developer termination. If you save the directory contents during a PL/SQL Developer session, and restore it before starting a new PL/SQL Developer session, the crash recovery procedure will kick in.

Thank you very much! Most helpful.

I actually do the same thing -- I force terminate PL/Dev to preserve a session.

Can this be logged as a request to provide an option to save the current session as a named session?
