I've downloaded and installed SSMS Boost. Some interesting features and some usability issues too (eg Script Object as CREATE/ALTER fails with 'No suitable objects found at cursor position' unless you are in the same database context as the object which you are trying to script - even if fully qualified - puzzled me for a while). Promising though - keep it up.

Right, this is "known" feature 😉 It is in "to fix" list for next release.

My own development request - please add support for collapsible regions like in C#. This has been removed from SSMS Tools latest version because regions are apparently 'supported' in SSMS 2012. But they're not really, IMO.

Why do you write,that they are not supported in SSMS2012 ? I can see them there. Or don't you like the way they are implemented ?

OK - first of all my disclaimer: we are in the process of upgrading to SSMS 2012, so I have only been using it for the last week. Maybe I have missed something 🙂

But it seems that SSMS 2012 does not give you control over your regions, rather it adopts an 'I know best' attitude when determining what the regions should be.

With SSMS tools, pre 2012, I was able to structure long and complex scripts into collapsible sections. Simply by pressing CTRL-K, CTRL-J, the regions would collapse, leaving me with a screen of headings which made navigation easy. See attached image for an example. Those regions contains many lines of code which would not be grouped in SSMS 2012.

I know that there is the 'hide' function in SSMS 2012, which works the way I want, but the hidden areas are not persisted between editing sessions.

Ok, I understand what you want and will add to "to investigate" list. We did not re-use regions till now, so we'll need some time to invest before we find approriate interfaces of SQL Editor control.

<by the way - I just have updated 2.6 version once again, with some small fixes/additions reported by users since yesterday>
