Easier Method to Snapshot Multiple Databases from same server(s)
1) SQL Compare has handy database snapshot ability to a folder. It would be great if rather than creating 1 database snapshot at a time you could tick each of the databases you'd like a snapshot created for.
2) Would be cool if like SQL Multiscript tool, you can speficity multiple servers and databases and have the snapshots named and/or placed in folders with server and database names.

Attempt to detect table renames
SQL Compare should try to detect renamed tables and use sp_rename. At the moment, the existing table is dropped and a new table is created with the new name. To avoid data loss, it is necessary to create a migration script but SQL Compare should be able to detect this in a similar way to how it detects column renames.

Compare/Merge objects with different names and/or reside in same DB
(1) the ability to compare 'similar/same' objects that are name differently
(2) the ability to compare objects in the same database that are named differently

Add Control+Insert to products
In Windows operation systems it is a common way to use Control+Insert keys instead of Control+C to copy selected text.
This is necessary to support left-mouse-handed people and it's driving me crazy that it does not work within your product(s).
At least I would love to use this option when working within the Comparison to copy code from a left or right script using Ctrl+Ins.
For completeness you should also keep "Shift+Insert" for Paste and "Shift+Del" for Cut operations in mind.

Ignore permissions doesn't
SQL Compare 14.2.4.15334
I have checked "Ignore permissions" and "Ignore users' permissions and role memberships", but deployment script is creating grants for existing permissions on tables being recreated (replacement table created & populated, old table dropped, & replacement table renamed). Expectation is that it obeys the ignore options.2 votes -
Export HTML via "Generate Comparison Results Report" using Command Shell
There should be a way to Export HTML via "Generate Comparison Results Report" using Command Shell.
When we have a ".scp" file which contains the Information about the Databases to be compared, which is saved as a project.scp.
In this case, if we have a ".scp" file, then is there any command to export the html.?3 votes -
Create deploy and rollback at one invoke
My company is using SQLCompare 14 and always create roll forward and roll back sql with 2 calls by reversing the input arguments., We output the database into file system and compare both directories. It took 15 sec for the "Registering data sources" because we have a big Database. We have 10 or more database so that adds up the time to several minutes to build a patch every time we check-in .
Can we add a switch to create both forward.sql and rollback.sql at one time instead of call this 2 times? This can cut our build time in…8 votes -
Filter for sensitivity of column data type comparison
For example, I would like to ignore when a column is a VARCHAR on both databases but with different lengths so I can focus on when the 2 data types are completely different eg. VARCHAR and NUMERIC.

Fix the selection of working folders
Let me change the location of the users data folders. The application creates a folder inside the Documents folder. When I change the location in the Application options dialog still a folder inside the Documents folder is being used. I want my Documents folder not to be used by this application

Compare based on Selected Schema
I would be ideal if there was the ability to compare just a single Schema in databases. Example, exclude all dbo object and just include all objects in the XX schema. This would speed up the compare, as we would only be comparing objects in the XX schema and ignoring the 10K objects in the dbo schema.

Exlcude specific items from Deploy script from Comparison Results screen
SQL Compare
Sometimes I want to exclude specific items from deployment script when doing a comparison. For example, when comparing a table, exclude a specific trigger on that table.This is a SSDT feature that is missing in SQL Compare.
I know custom filters can be used to achieve this, but this it is cumbersome for "ad hoc" choices, and I could not achieve the results wanted for the example below.
Using a trigger associated as with a table as an example:
Assume there is a schema change with a specific table that includes a trigger. Assume that the trigger…5 votes -

Add window management to detached pop=out window
In SQL compare, if you open the pop-out widow to view differences in a separate window, the normal window controls like maximize and minimize are not available. you cannot double-click the title bar (or Alt+enter or F11 or anything) to maximize it.
Request adding missing window management to the differences window

powershell cmdlets for SQL Compare
It would be nice to have clean powershell cmdlets (like SCA) for SQL Compare rather than having to use the old-school command line and arguments.

Option to Ignore Temporal/History Table
It would be handy to have an option to ignore Temporal/History table configuration when comparing two like databases where one has had some tables configured as temporal with a history table. This would be helpful to isolate any other changes outside of the temporal/history configuration.

It would be helpful to provide the capability to examine two objects within the same database.
I've worked over many years with multiple teams and I observe the same phenomenon. The proliferation of OLD, _BAK, _20191123, _ETC objects as developers try out new things for all sorts database artifacts; Tables, Views, Sprocs, etc. I would find it immensely helpful to compare two such artifacts, TABLE and TABLEOLD (for example) to see what has been changed.
