To replicate -
- Use SQL Developer 4.2.0.16.356 Build 16.356.1144
- From the menu select Tools > Preferences
- In the search field type "script"
Notice only the the Database Page is shown in results
The Database: Worksheet page is missing. It has the field I was looking for: "Select Default Path to look for scripts"
I tried some other searched for this field and default doesn't work either.
