Re: RDi 9.6 is now available!!!

So "reload" means re-install, that makes more sense. I thought it meant restart the app, and couldn't figure out how that could take 1.5 hours.

Agreed. I have to use DBeaver as IBM only provides the notepad of SQL editors. I still have to drop back to the no-longer-supported IBM I Navigator to do some tasks as ACS still hasn't got all the features Navigator had. So basically now I tab through DBeaver, IBM I Navigator, and ACS to get tasks complete. Very poor user experience.

I've never had to reinstall visual studio. Granted I'm running the latest and greatest and have a minimal amount of addon plugins from their extensive online addon repository. Addon plugins can definitely cause Visual Studio issues. For instance I once had the markdown viewer from Mads Kristensen installed, but occasionally it would cause visual studio to crash when you were viewing a markdown file. Uninstalled plugin and no more issues. Didn't have to reinstall visual studio. But figuring out what addon is causing the problem, that can be tricky sometimes.
