Make schema comparison in vertical windows rather than in horizontal ones
Currently, the screen is divided onto two horizontal parts where the top window contains objects and the bottom one has their text representation which is not quite convenient because there is a lot of spare place left not used.
Visually, it would be much more convenient to have the ability to place the windows vertically rather than horizontally unlike the current implementation.
For example, like in AdeptSQL Diff.

Data Comparison and Sync: Add option to "ignore computed columns"
Some of my tables have computed columns. I try to go through the mappings and manually un-check those tables before I do a data sync, but I sometimes miss one, the sync blows up, and I have to start again from scratch.
Since it doesn't normally make sense to try to write to a computed column, I think there should be a (defaulted to on) checkbox that says "ignore computed columns".

Option to set comma as the default delimiter for CSV export and copy functions
Currently, unless you override it, the semi-colon is used as the default delimiter for all CSV export and copy functions. It would be very helpful to be able to set the comma as the default in options.
3 votesThis can be setup in the ‘Data Export → CSV’ section of the ‘Options’ window (select ‘Tools → Options…’ from the main menu).

Adding an option to add "if exists..." to script generation
Can we have an option to choose that makes dbForge generate "if exists" statement when generating scripts for database objects?
Ie:
when clicking on a sproc, table, view or synonym and selecting: "Generate Script As" - "Drop and Create", it would be nice if the generated script checks if the entity exists before dropping it.Currently, I have to do this manually every time to have a decent deployment script.

Showing the connection color in the status bar
Apologies, not sure if this is a bug or needs to be a feature. I love the identification of tabs using the shape and color of a connection. I would LOVE it if that color would also transfer to the status bar, which on my setup is always blue. Due to the status bar's visibility, I get super confused when I'm on a connection colored, say, red (production) but the status bar is blue (test).

Open new tabs next to current one
Opening up a new tab all the way at the end is so Internet Explorer (not in a good way). 99.999% of the time if I'm opening up a new tab it's intended to supplement my work in the tab I'm in, so visually it is most useful if it just starts up next to the current tab.

Implement alternative ways to create new object
Why a new object can only be created from main nodes ("Tables", "Procedures"...). Uncomfortable when there are many items I have to scroll up to the top and only then I can create new object from popup.

Allow Backing up to UNC or Mapped network drive
When creating a backup, I'd like the ability to store the .BAK file in a folder on another PC, either via a UNC file share (\servername\sharename\mybackup.bak) or a mapped drive (g:\backups\mybackup.bak). Right now dbForge Studio only lets you back up to the local hard drive of the server.
2 votesYou can amend the existing path and specify a mapped network drive right in the ‘Backup to disk’ list on the ‘General’ page of the Backup wizard.

structural highlighting
It would be very nice if dbForge could have an option to jump to/from Begin/End statements. This allows us to clearly see where a structure begins/ends (in large scripts).
Also faint lines connecting begin/end, ( and ), like DevExpress's CodeRush or Notepad++ would be very nice.
Currently you have faint lines around select statements and so forth. That is very useful, but the suggestion above will enhance the usefulness of the current structural highlighting.2 votes -

Status-bar PER tab
It is often quite hard to know that an update or insert statement, or DDL statement has actually happened. Data from a previous SELECT statement remains steadily there, and the only hint is to watch the right-hand corner and actually see this change from Ready to Executing to Ready - but if you miss that, even the Output window is not definitive. A status bar PER TAB - like Management Studio - including the last number of rows affected, the last execution duration IN THAT TAB, etc. would be immensely helpful.

Redesign stored routine editor
Suggestion to redesign the visual stored procedure editor of dbForge.
Uh... there are a number of major misses here in 4.0.
I login to a database, expand the Programmability section, then right-click a procedure and select 'Edit Procedure.' The script that is generated is a CREATE PROCEDURE method, which out of the box won't work because the procedure already exists.
Okay, so I change it to ALTER PROCEDURE and press F5 to rebuild the procedure. I get a dialog box prompting me for parameters! Oh, I guess F5 means RUN the procedure? No, that's not what I want. It looks…
