  1. As I can't vote anymore, I create this new entry. ;-)
    When I open a Linqpad instance, use it during a couple of minutes and let opened during a couple of hours to come back using it, I noticed the memory consumption raised a lot for doing nothing because I was not using it.
    Txs

  2. Optionally support a separate trace tab as often have a lot of trace output and would like a way to hide the noise.

    Additionally, would be nice to support some basic formatted output with support for Info/Debug/Warn/Error and date/time... e.g. color changes and minor style differences.

  3. Suggest looking at performance of export to CSV. For a large table (millions of rows) quite a long wait before file prompt and no progress indicator

  4. Features 'Open in Excel', 'Open selected cells in excel', 'Export to Excel', 'Export to Excel Without Formatting' are awesome, however found that it would be really great to have ability use another spreadsheets processor for exported files opening.
    Would like to ask add additional field into Preferences/Advanced/Output section(for example 'Path to spreadsheet executable') that would be used for mentioned before features and filled during installation by installed excel executable path

  7. Support DB search (for SPs, functions, tables, columns), just like RedGate's SQL Search.

    Maybe it should be a context menu option (saying "Search for DB entity...") on the DB tree-node.

  8. Create a web version of LINQPad, similar to jsFiddle or dotnetFiddle. linqFiddle would be an outstanding product and would be infinitely useful.

  9. When adding a new item in the middle of, or deleting an item from the middle of the second list to compare using Util.Dif, the rest of the list is flagged as out of sync since it uses an index-based comparison. In other words, Util.Dif compares elements at index 0 with each other, then at 1 with each other, etc.

    It would be better if more advanced diffing algorithm was used to do this and could flag the entire element as red if it was removed, the entire element as green if it was added, or individual values with red/green…

  11. Util.Dif is awesome :)
    It would be nice to do something like
    var dif = Util.Dif(o1, o2);
    if (dif.IsDifferent)
    {
    dif.Result.Dump();
    }

  12. At the moment, items such as the editor do not read with a screen reader (at least the screen reader I use, NVDA, which is available at http://www.nvda-project.org). It would be nice if, when a screen reader is detected, it is changed to something like a rich text box or normal multiline text box with the advanced editing features of the editor that it has now.

  13. If I'm Dumping an IEnumerable<Foo>, it would be very nice to be able to use "exclude" to suppress members on the individual items; currently, "exclude" looks for properties on the IEnumerable itself. I can accomplish this by Dumping to a data grid, but I think it should work the same way with rich text as well.

  14. Allow a query tab to be labeled without having to be saved. This would really help when you are doing a lot of ad-hoc queries and have many query tabs open and need to navigate between them.

  17. I would be great to use LinqPad as a scratchpad i.e. for it to execute code and print results as I type, or with N seconds delay.

  18. I'd like to put some script to public git repo, but I don't want to share connection data which is stored in *.linq files. Please add option to skip saving this. I fully accept a must to choose DB after each script opening.

  19. I'd like to be able to configure the transparency of the CTRL key when the Intellisense window pops up.

    The problem I have is, I use Emacs key bindings and CTRL+N and CTRL+P interfere with my UP/DOWN navigation scrolling through the Intellisense list. It's annoying trying to move up and down and the pop up keeps fading to transparent.
