Table Filter &amp; Object Tree Actions<\/h3>\n<p>A filter box now sits above the database object tree, so a table is easy to find in a large database. The object tree menu has also gained <strong>Copy Table Names<\/strong>, <strong>Export DDL<\/strong> and <strong>Drop Selected Tables<\/strong>, so common tasks no longer need a trip to another tool.<\/p>\n<h3>2. Pause \/ Resume and a Safer Lob Import<\/h3>\n<p>The Lob import can now be <strong>paused<\/strong> and <strong>resumed<\/strong>. Under the hood it is also much more forgiving: a busy database or a lost connection is waited out on a fresh connection, and an insert is not done twice. The Lob export stops cleanly on a lost connection and tells you to run it again, instead of leaving the output in an unknown state.<\/p>\n<h3>3. Logging, Notifications and Smaller Fixes<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>A new \u201cLog and Notify\u201d settings section; the log filter and the finish notification are remembered for the next run.<\/li>\n<li>Log level, a log filter, <strong>Copy Log<\/strong> and <strong>Save Log<\/strong> are now available in the import \/ export windows.<\/li>\n<li>\u201cNotify me when it is done\u201d in the import \/ export windows.<\/li>\n<li>\u201cOptions\u201d was renamed to \u201cExport Options\u201d in the Tools menu.<\/li>\n<li>Fixed the last line of the log being shown twice.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>About DBBlobEditor<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.withdata.com\/dbblobeditor\/\">DBBlobEditor<\/a> views, stores, imports and exports BLOB \/ CLOB data \u2014 fast and locally, without coding.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Work with text, Rich Text (RTF), images, PDF, HTML, XML, JSON, video and audio stored in BLOB \/ CLOB columns<\/li>\n<li>Multiple databases, including MySQL, Oracle, SQL Server, PostgreSQL, SQLite, DB2 and more<\/li>\n<li>Native viewing and editing of the stored data, with the right viewer for each format<\/li>\n<li>Batch import and export of BLOB \/ CLOB data to and from files<\/li>\n<li>Pause \/ Resume, retry on a busy database, and clear logs for long running jobs<\/li>\n<li>Cross-platform: Windows, Linux, macOS<\/li>\n<li>Fully local offline processing; no data uploaded to cloud servers<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Upgrade Today<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.withdata.com\/dbblobeditor\/\">DBBlobEditor 8.5<\/a> is ready for download: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.withdata.com\/dbblobeditor\/download.html\">https:\/\/www.withdata.com\/dbblobeditor\/download.html<\/a>.
