Good day,

I want to backup my Snippets but cannot find the file to back it up as I cannot locate the XML file with my Snippets therein. I went to system23.1.1.345.2114 and in there I went to o.sqldeveloper.snippet and this folder is empty despite me setting "Sow hidden files"

and Connor said...

Go back up a level to just to "SQL Developer" folder. There should be a file called UserSnippets.xml
