ACS improvement request

Save the settings previously used in the runsql scripts open dialog box.


Use Case:

When using the run sql scripts from within ACS, we frequently open saved .sql files. The open dialog box that is presented does not save the prior settings. For example, I use the detailed view with the results sorted by descending date so I see the most recent .sql files I worked with. It would be more efficient if it remembered the last setting, that way I'd just need to click on the most recent file I was working with.
Another option would be to present a list of the most recent files worked on within the open dialog box.

    Not sure how you can consider this delivered, it was not. Remembering the last directory opened is not what was requested. I asked for functionality similar to any other modern app, where a list of recently opened/saved files is presented in a list, ACS does not do that. Further, due to the fact that IBM uses Java, the windows recent files also does not record the most recent .sql files that I worked with. I do not consider this delivered, nor was I ever informed of closure. Please reconsider.

    Please make sure you are using our latest 1.1.7.2 version which became available October 2017. When using Run SQL Scripts, the File Open option does remember the last directory you used. As the previous response noted, there is also the File->Recent Files option.

    "Recent Files" already exists in the Run SQL Scripts plugin, on the File menu. Additionally, if you check the "GettingStarted.html" documentation, you can see how to create a shortcut to the rss plugin with a particular SQL script file.
