windows names customizations

[null0000]

Is there a way to customize windows names?(not to manually rename each of them when they already in the "window list" in "browser")
I know there is an option to have "short name" for all of them from context menu, but I would like to know if it customizable by default, for instance: to have all program units to be or even better: or .
And for command window ,then next .
Implementation of latter should not be too complex: just pass counter to the instance while instantiating object.
I hope I did not ask too much??

Isn't this more or less what the "Short Text" option does? If not, can you let me know the relevant difference?

SQL windows, when you are doing adhoc queries - not when loading from a file, display the first line as the window name after you execute. I use this by placing a comment as the first line to remind me which is which (speaking of which, it sure would be nice if windows could be sorted by type in the window list).

It might be nice if there was an option to use either the filename or first line for the window list entry name.

It would also be nice to have different colors for each of the window types in the window list.

Not exactly.
Command windows do not get enumerated.
As from previos message : 1st line of statement becomes name of SQL window.
Program unit windows have some extra info such as
"@" (really useless, as pl/sql dev always use 1 connection per instance), is also in "short name".
Also just to add to the previous post: different (customizable) colors would be awesome!

Okay, I have added this to the list of enhancement requests. For different colors per window type you can get the wList Plug-In from Softema :

I thought so too Marco, but for me it doesn't work. I posted about this, but haven't heard anything from Softema.

What PC and OS did this example run on?

It works for me:

Version 6.0.5.926 (MBCS)
01.19235 - 1 user license
Windows XP version 6.0 (build 2600) Service Pack 2

Physical memory 523,504 kB (33,716 available)
Paging file 882,736 kB (347,844 available)
Virtual memory 2,097,024 kB (2,009,728 available)

Nice tip!

Did not work for me.
But I have 6.0.0 and I'll wait for 7.0 .
But it sure nice feature!!!

hmm, from this small sample it seems like the plug-in only works in the EU.

I am on Win XP Pro, version 2002, service pack 2, plsd 6.0.5.926

 

[Marco Kalter]

I will ask Softema to check this out.
