There it is, a new version. Right on time as an early Easter present. A version with some nice new features and a LOT of bugfixes, thanks to the DataDigger Testing Team (Thanks guys!)

You can now sort on more than one level in the DataDigger. Take a look at the following screen. I have sorted the customers on their country:

When I press CTRL and click on the ‘State’ column, the sort is expanded:

As you can see, the records are now sorted by Country, then by State. You can add up to 9 levels of sorting this way.

Show Value

When you right-click on a value in the data browse, you can choose to let DataDigger show the value. Nothing new, you say.

Physical name in title 

The datadigger already showed database and table name in the title of the window. In the settings screen, you can now choose whether you want to see the logical database name, the physical or none. By default, this will be the logical name, just like it always has been.

Because this is the easter egg edition, there is also a …. Ah well, find it yourself

You can find the new version on GitHub, and as always, my advice is: have fun!
