todo: sizable "Window list"

[Nashev]

There are up to 8 item in panel, show by Tools/WindowList... It too small.

Splitter on top side of this panel can be usefull.

 

[ThomyKay]

Agree. Furthermore the splitter pos should be handled in 'AutoSave Desktop' feature.

One more idea: i whant to have manual sorting feature for lines in window list (by drag'n'drop, for example) to grouping similar files that was opened in different time...

 

[ScottMattes]

Me too!

i found the key in registry:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Allround Automations\PL/SQL Developer\WindowList]

"Count"=dword:00000008

And when i change "Count" value to 15, WindowList was made more usefull.

This would be a very welcome addition to the Preferences window.

But now I've tried it (the key wasn't there initially) I've run into a bug: I've put the value to F (15) and when I open my 16th window, it drops off the list and no scrollbar is shown. Only when I add a 17th window the scrollbar is there.
Further testing shows that this only happens when the 16th window is a test window or an explain plan window!

I'm using version 5.1.4.729

I would also like to see renamble captions of the windowses. And shorten the fixed names, or even better have icons.

Istead of:

"SQL Window - file.sql"
"SQL - file.sql"

I tend to keep it very narrow, and it's a pain to go trough all of them the find what I need.

An icon would be the best solution (in adition to the rename caption)

If you right-click on the Window List you can select a "Short Text" option from the popup menu (use the Window > Save Layout function to mark this as your preference). You can also rename the window list entry.

Drag-n-Drop to rearrange Window order would be very useful.

Additionally, it would be quite useful (IMHO), if the Window order was saved in the desktop based on order-of-appearance in the Window List.

Right now the desktop file (on application startup) seems to order the Window List based on reverse active order. If you click on each Window in the list (in your desired order), starting with the Window you want at the top of the list, close PLSQLDev, and re-open PLSQLDev; the windows seem to be arranged in the order they were accessed.

A collapseable outline Window list, with defineable (level 0) outline groups, with drag-n-drop, saved with each project would probably be on my unatainable dream list, wouldn't it?
...just thought I would ask...

We'll see what we can do with the Window List for 6.0...
