  2. When editing SQL text, would it be possible to change the default action of cut (CTRL-X), copy (CTRL-C) and paste (CTRL-V) to operate on the current line if no selection is visible? Every programming editor I've used do this as the default. An example use case: Cursor is in the middle of my current line and I want to delete the line. Current actions required are to press the HOME key (most times twice because the line is indented), hold down the SHIFT key and press the DOWN ARROW key, then press DELETE, or start typing with the new text.…

  3. Everytime I start dbForge Studio Express I get an advertisement about Cyber Monday discount. Don't get me wrong: I love the discount, but I don't need to see the ad every time I started dbForge Studio. More importantly: the advertisement interferes with other programs, because it shows after a while when I switched to another program. It'd like to see the ad only in dbForge Express and an option added called 'Do not show again'.

  4. The MDI component used has always been problematic. For a time it would regularly crash, but this was eventually fixed. However, I can't help but to notice how sluggish it is when the monitor is greater than 1280x1024 or if you the tabs are split. Some kind of improvement in performance would be desirable.

  6. Impossible without "CHANGING CONNECTION" to setup a database diagram to USE a specific database. Unfortunately there is no way to "edit" the database name even in the drop down list, or to change the owner of the database diagram. This is a serious impediment to productivity.

  8. In SSMS / Visual Studio you can select a box section / columns from multiple lines for editing using the <Alt> key (EG: Select area on a single line, press <Alt> and down / up arrow and you'll have those same columns then selected in other rows too).

    This allows for quickly replacing / editing data that recurs across multiple consecutive lines - It's proved a HUGE time-saver.

    I believe this is what was asked for here:
    https://devart.uservoice.com/forums/177009-dbforge-studio-for-sql-server/suggestions/14157501-column-mode

    and it would be great to have that added into Studio.

  9. In "Data Comparison tool", when two tables are compared, the user may wish to create a script to update only one of the i.e. 5 fields that have changes. It would be nice if in the header of the results grid, a checkbox existed next to each field name (only in tab "Different Records") so that the resulting UPDATE statements of the selected lines would contain only the "checked" fields.

  10. Allow the grouping and saving of scripts into a project or solution. This would allow the grouping of related scripts into a single file set that can then be opened more easily. This would also allow a developer to more easily keep scripts related to a specific job synchronized and loaded.

    For example, loading the Paycheck project will load all of the scripts related to the Paychecks task. Then, by loading the Employee project will switch out the scripts with the ones for the Employee task.

  11. Hi,

    I would like to suggest a new feature which will allow changing default export "options" for all exports to Excel/HTML format? I'm thinking about fonts, colors, alternating row colors etc.

    I don't like default coloring so I would like to change it for all exports I do from dbForge Studio. Now I have to change them every time, and it's tricky because I have to manually copy complex colors to dialog, select fonts.

    I was thinking that "Save template" would help me with this, but this saves whole data source too so I always get same data exported when…

  12. Add the ability to define the query executed on a Right-Click / Retrieve Data.

    I use this feature frequently and always go in and edit the query to order by id desc. It would be nice to be able to override the standard select *.

  14. When I click the header of DBForge and start dragging, the window minimizes. When I'm dragging it to another monitor, I must then maximize the window. Please leave the window size where it is set.

    Could you please let us know what screen DPI you have set for both the monitors?

  15. When a query is executing for a long time, I sometimes switch to a different tab to continue other work. It would be great to have a status icon on the tab that shows whether a query is actively executing on that tab!

  17. Add option to hide schema as part of the table name in database diagrams. Since the new version 5.4 table name in database diagram show "SchemaName.TableName". Sometimes long table name get cropped so we have to extend the table's box to see the table name. Diagram need to be larger now... not good...
    I'll go back to an older version for the time being.

  18. On a multiple execution query, allow to customize the name of the results tabs, by default only shows the table name, useless if the tables are the same.

  20. When a sql script is being edited and saved in same directory automated created *.design file. The *.design files in working directories is no good. I suggest to add ability set path for storing *.design files in separate directory. By default it can be temp directory.
