| I cannot view or modify Maintenance plans since upgrading to SSMSBoost v3.0 Release Candidate 1 (v3.0.6397.537). In SSMS when I double click or right click and choose Modify or New Maintenance Plan, nothing happens. If I use another SSMS without SSMSBoost installed, it works ok. |

| Bug report: When I add a normal SSMS keyboard shortcut (Tools → Options → Environment → Keyboard → Keyboard), it only lasts for the session — quit, restart, new shortcut is gone. Removing shortcuts, curiously, does stick. (This problem goes away if I uninstall SSMSBoost.) I'm on SQL Server 2012 Dev. |

It would be very nice, if you could add an context menu entry, that allows me to modify the MS_Description of tables, views, indexes, procedures ... and columns (!).

| Can we change location of saved last Recent closed query Tab? |
|
| Can we find by word from all history tab and all Recent closed tabs? |
|
| We are using the registered servers feature in SSMS (Ctrl-Alt-G) and created several servergroups here. When I have to run a script on all servers (of a group), I can rightclick onto the group name and New Query. Everything I write into the new query window will be executed on all servers in the group. After using this, I opened the Connection combobox in SSMSBoost just to find, that it put a list of all server into the #### Recent conntections list. This is technical correct, but bloats the whole combobox. We have only max. 11 servers in our groups, but imagin a company with hundred servers... Screenshot |

| Is there any way to which we can prevent user to edit row data in edit mode? |

Please, update to RC2 version and check it again. If error persists, send us an e-mail to support@ e-mail and provide your SSMS build version (SSMS About dialog, Copy-Paste the Info, provided there) Thank you ! |

| Currently you can activate old 2.19v as Pro user only. New v3.0 RC2 can be downloaded and used without any activation (as stated on the front page). Here is the direct link to the thread: http://www.ssmsboost.com...008-2012-2014-2016--2017 |

| Leaves the text forecolor as black in the navigation bar of listboxes, like the 2 used in the workspaces dialog, after switching to the built-in SSMS Dark theme. Not sure if the problem occurs for user-designed themes, which have to be loaded through the import/export settings function. Since Microsoft does not currently support the SSMS Dark theme, as evidenced by the hoops you have to jump through to enable it as an option, this is an incredibly tiny "bug", but figured I would document it anyway. |

| Hi, I have tried the free version of SSMS Boost and think its a great tool - I've been trying to get my manager to pay for this but haven't convinced him yet!! However, it does say you can use the free version if you download another copy. Unfortunately, whatever I keep trying really doesn't work Uninstalling / Clearing Registry / Users Folders etc - It won't recognize a new 120 day version Desperate to use this - Can someone please advise the steps I need to take to get it to work? Thanks, Michael. |
|
| Version 3.0.6397 has just expired, and there is no update available. If you are going to continue the project could you please make the longer trial periods? Or post updates before previous versions expire? If the SSMSBoost project is abandoned please tell us. Thanks Slawek |
|
| Final release of v3.1 is out |
|
| We have just released final version of v3.1. Check the website please. We will be sending updated licensing information to our Pro users shortly. |
|
| Hello Michael, Please download newly released v3.1 |
|
| SSMSBoost v 3.1 is released ! We have just released final version of v3.1. We will be sending updated licensing information to our Pro users shortly, but you can already download the installation and start using latest version ! BREAKING CHANGE for v2.x users: -SSMSBoost now has one installer for all SSMS versions. It is important to uninstall all previous versions, before installing new release. All your user data (settings, templates, connections) will not be deleted when by uninstaller and will be re-used by the new version after the installation. NEW FEATURES -SSMS 2017 Supported ! Note: SSMS 2017 brought further changes in internal structure, so that we had to re-implement some hooks and interaction routines. We have done full test by now and fixed all issues that were found. One known issue is in progress: "OUTPUT" keyword within "EXECUTE" statement will not be formatted. We would be thankful if you report us any issues that you encounter. -Jump between COLUMNS and VALUES in INSERT statement. Press CTRL-SHIFT-DOWN (when you are in Columns block) or CTRL-SHIFT-UP (when you are in VALUES block). Cursor will jump to the corresponding Column/Value. (These hotkeys also allow to jump between BEGIN/END statements) -Query post execution actions: get notification after query completes execution. This is useful when you start long-running queries and switch to another script or application. You will be notified by popup or system tray message. We will extend this functionality in further releases, adding the possibility to send e-mail on query completion or execute another action. Write us your ideas and send your post-execution scripts ! -Added native search in execution history. SSMSBoost had already logging of all executed queries and execution results, but search had to be done with native feature of SSMS "Find in Files". Now using History->Find in Execution History you can search through queries, you have executed in the past. -TRANSACTION REMINDER: whenever execution of last SQL batch leaves open transactions SSMSBoost will show floating information window with the reminder. There will be one reminder window shown per SQL Editor tab. Reminder can be closed or will close itself when @@TRANCOUNT reaches 0. Feature re-uses native SSMS functionality, that checks open transactions whenever you try to close SQL Editor window with open transactions. Due to this fact we do not show number of open transactions. You can always check number of open transactions using SELECT @@TRANCOUNT statement. (Can be disabled in Settings) -"Copy as Values list": copy values from Results Grid as native SQL values list that can be re-used in SQL statements. Strings are quoted, date time values are in canonical form. Result is placed to clipboard and is ready to be pasted to your "WHERE in ()" and other statements. -"Preferred connections" drop down is now extended with "Recent connections" section. Number of recent connections can be configured in Settings->Preferred Connections. Improvements -Fixed: When switching the database, Intellisense sometimes did not update the context -Fixed issues with preferred connections switching on Microsoft Azure servers -Other internal improvements -Added {ColumnType} parameter to grid scripting template. Now, based on any grid content, you can automatically generate CREATE TABLE scripts. Useful, for example, when you want to create #tempTable CREATE statement based on Stored Procedure output. (See CREATE TABLE scripting template) -Added NString formatter to grid scripting templates. It allows to create own output formatting for NCHAR, NVARCHAR and other N-string types. -Re-designed SSMSBoost menu structure. Now you can find all SSMSBoost commands under SSMSBoost menu. Study it and learn all available functionality. Re-design was necessary in preparation for SSMS 2016. -Added SUM over BIT fields in Results Grid Aggregates -Added parameter: Number of recent connection to remember. -Fatal Action Guard has new setting for disabling it's functionality for scripts larger than X Mb. Default setting is 10Mb. -Added "nullable" property in columns list of "Find column" dialog (CTRL+F in results grid) -Improved behavior of "Comment-Uncomment" feature. It does not require exact positioning of selection to uncomment the block (whitespace and newlines will be ignored.) Also several lines of "--" comments will be uncommented now as well. -Added "NULL Count" counter to grid aggregates and improved behavior on NULL values. -Grid aggregates can be configured to stop automatic calculations, if there are too many cells selected in the grid. See settings. -{StartTime} and {EndTime} parameters were added to message template of "post-execution notification" feature. NOTE: if you update from previous beta you will have to edit notification template yourself and add these tokens. For example you can use this template: -Added an option to deactivate connection coloring -"Preferred connections" drop down used native SSMS "Local databases" drop down to fill it's"local databases" part, which worked extremely slow when working on remote servers with heavy load or poor connection. Now this feature is improved and listing works much faster. Additionally there is a possibility to show only "accessible" databases for your DB user, based on native SQL has_dbaccess() function. For more options see in Settings->Preferred Connections. -In several SSMSBoost Settings dialogs, like Autoreplacements, some strings can use pre-defined parameters. Help-Text in dialog can be now clicked to copy parameter name to clipboard. -Fixed behavior or {server} parameter in Autoreplacements and added new {serverDisplayName} parameter. -Change log with notes about recent changes will now be displayed on first run after the installation. -File names generated with "Visualize as" functionality will start with corresponding column name. -Added full support for Shortcuts in SSMS 2016. Commands and Macros are now separated in settings. "Commands" page lists all SSMSBoost commands and assigned shortcuts. Shortcuts can be re-defined here directly. "Macros" - separate page in Settings to create simple command combos and manage their shortcuts. -Added "close all" (result tabs) for "Find in Grid" and "Find in History" dialogs. -Added additional events for saving "Recent Tabs". See "Recent Tabs" settings. Improved management of Recent Tabs/Recent Sessions/Recent Connections management. Fixes -Improved usability of Objects Search dialog / UI fixes. -Fixed bug with recursive regions parsing -Fixed bug with Unicode strings, placed as HTML to clipboard. (Grid scripting as HTML with further insertion in Outlook or Word) -Added new counters to "Usage statistics". -Improved code guard to ignore cases, when aliased temporary #table is used. -Further internal improvements to increase compatibility with mixed installations of several SSMS versions, when several DLL versions are present in the system. -Better handling of corrupted settings -ENTER starts search in "Search in History" -Performance improvements and bug fixes (mostly in SSMS2016 version) -Improved dialog layout for Grid Scripting, Find column, Find data in grid dialogs -Fixed broken sort order of servers, automatically connected in Object Explorer at start-up -Added support for latest SSMS 2016 release (13.0.16000.28) which brought some breaking changes in API causing "Fatal actions guard" to stop working. -Increased of max length of Autoreplacement strings. -Improved "Query complete" notification icon in system tray. Now dbl-click activates the query window, where the execution completed. |

| Just installed the latest version and now I can only see the top 2 Preferred Connections in my list. |

| I LOVE the "Copy as SQL values list" feature! It's extremely handy, but often times I'm copying lists of hundreds of values, and the SQL string can get very long. It would be a bit nicer if we had the option of choosing the list to be on one single line or on separate lines (one for each row). In other words, you could choose to have the values list generated as Code: or as Code: That could apply to the "Copy all headers" feature as well. Just a thought! Thanks... |
