Could you please let us know what build of dbForge Studio for MySQL you are using and what actually happens after you change the default snippet folder and restart dbForge Studio for MySQL?

Also, could you please describe the steps to reproduce the issue step by step?

hi, i am using the latest build 6.3.358 and change the snippet via the snipper manager:

if i close dbforge, and start again, the snippet folder is back to default ;(

Thank you for the reply. This issue will be fixed in the next product build.

i hope the next update does not take 6 months, like the last one...

dear alex, please tell your developers to offer a hotfix for this, its a total mess that we always have to make 30 clicks before i can start using the app

[michabbb]

Hello Micha,

Sorry for the delay on this.

The new product version including the fix should be released in October 2015.

[michabbb]

okay, thanks for your feedback

dear alex,

where is the "location" of the snippet folder stored ?
i cannot find anything inside the registry.

thanks

[alexa]

It's stored in the 'DirectoryPath' value located in the following registry branch:

Code: Select all

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Devart\dbForge Studio for MySQL\CodeSnippets\MySql

[michabbb]

if somebody is interested, here´s my little workarround:

create a batch:

Code: Select all

REGEDIT.EXE /S set_snippets.reg
Start "" "`C:\Program Files\Devart\dbForge Studio for MySQL\dbforgemysql.exe"

set_snippets.reg

Code: Select all

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Devart\dbForge Studio for MySQL\CodeSnippets\MySql]
"DirectoryPath"="F:\\MySnippetFolder"
