Wasting Time Reconfiguring PLSQL Dev 12

[Scott Lloyd]

Yes, change happens. I've been around to see quite a few. Marco has gone all in with the new Windows 10 design standards, and the results are very sharp looking.

But after countless attempts and several hours trying to get comfortable with the new PLSD 12 layout and menu, I'm ready to scream and go back to 11. The I just spent the past hour trying to figure out how to display multiple windows on my IDE desktop like I used to. (Goto new View menu. Uncheck new "single document" box.) All my Reports seemed to go away, too. (Goto File, click Reports.) The PL/SQL Beautifier moved, too. (Now under the Tools menu.) The Menu Ribbon is painful -- you've got to turn it on, turn it off, move it up move it down, pin, unpin -- but I think I am getting the hang of it.

Does anyone have have a list of all the new features and significant design and function changes? Could make the move easier.

Is this list of new features what you're looking for?

I've decided to go back to 11 yesterday
There are some good new features, but the constant flashing, flickering edit windows made me crazy. I cannot live with it.

Re: "The Menu Ribbon is painful..."

I learnt early on to add few extra commands and macros to the Quick Access Toolbar, and then keep the ribbon collapsed. Surprised how rarely I need the ribbon now.
