| Hello, It was mentioned here (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/24653134/in-ssms-how-do-i-change-a-sql-query-windows-tab-name) that SSMSBoost may potentially support custom tab names. Let me explain why I would want such feature in the first place. Microsoft seems to be very reluctant about changing the way they implemented tabs in SSMS/VS (check the their connect requests). Only one row of tabs is supported and everything else goes into a pulldown menu. By default the tab titles shows usernames etc, but it can be narrowed down, via options, to just the filename. This is much better but unsaved files still show as SQLQuery1.sql, SQLQuery2.sql etc. I know, maybe I should be saving all my queries and giving them proper names but I think this is an overkill and I do not want to keep saving all my queries just to know which is which. On a daily basis I work with many temporary queries connected to different servers. I have no intention of keeping those queries. They are used to support and debug our main application and sql code. When the queries are displaying as tabs I kind of visually remember which is which. Once they spill into the pulldown it is difficult to find the query I am looking for. I just keep clicking to find the right one. While this is not a standard feature across many many applications in a world of adhoc queries it kind of makes sense. I'd like to be able to name unsaved queries so that the titles are more meaningful. Someone suggested to base the title on the first line/comment in the file, so for example "--TabName:Test ABC" line would make the tab title "Test ABC". Perhaps the tag name could be customized and it could appear anywhere in the code and the first tag would be used in case more than 1 were defined. Just a thought. Hopefully something like that would be possible to do. |
