Page Not Found error when I try to get details on updates
Getting page not found error again when I try to get full details for updates to SQL Compare. URL being hit is https://documentation.red-gate.com/display/SC14/SQL+Compare+14.3+release+notes.
I get the feeling that this needs to be added to the "new version number" checklist or something alone those lines. Had similar issue a few builds back.

Add a keyboard shortcut to Next/Previous diff.
It would be nice to be able to navigate to the next diff (or previous) using a keyboard shortcut (e.g.: CTRL-N, F8, etc...)

Option to ignore stats based on name
When recreating statistics that were "Auto Created" they now become non "Auto Created".
This means when comparing the database against the original, because SQL Compare doesn't display "Auto Created" statistics, it looks like there are loads of new statistics
I found this as I am trying to change collation of everything in a database and have to recreate the statistics.
Please can there be an option to ignore statistics if they match based on name and the only difference is "Auto Created"?

index
SQL compare regularly identifies a difference between the same index between the same table stored on 2 different databases as it seems to get confused with a different index then says the the same index underneath the 'different' one, should be deleted! It must not compare on the name of the index but maybe an order? Is this a bug?

Support for Module Signing Comparison
Please could you consider adding support for the comparison of signatures between databases. Currently SQL Compare doesn't check for differences between module signatures, please refer to this forum post:
https://forum.red-gate.com/discussion/87404/module-signing-support
The consequence of this is that during deployment by SQL Compare, module signatures will be ignored, therefore causing deployed modules that depend on the signatures to fail during execution.
Additionally, should signatures be removed from a database using a command such as sp_refreshsqlmodule (which implicitly removes signatures), SQL Compare will not identify that the signatures have been removed.

Menu bar display issues when using Remote Desktop app in Windows 10
I have trouble seeing the menu bar when using Remote Desktop app in Windows 10. The menu bar is very tiny and not completely visible. Very hard to work with.

Script Generation: Control over the sp_rename of a table
When you add a non nullable column in a table, there is a warning that the script can fail. The generated script will issue will try to help by removing all contraints, rename the table and recreate it. This cannot be done on large table (with data). The only choice I have is to add the column as nullable, add the initialisation in the script and make it not null after. So, I would like to accept the warning and to let the 'alter table add column' been generated with a comment in the generated script. I guess to work…

Include option to only include diffs
The idea here is produce a summary - that is the content focuses on the changes.
For example:
For new objects - indicate "new", with one-line description - but do not include definition
For deleted objects - indicate "removed"
For changed objects - only the show the "diff" with a little context instead of the complete definition.1 vote -
Compare the OPTIMIZE_FOR_SEQUENTIAL_KEY property of an Index
By default this is 'off' in SQL 2019. But we have found some tables have significant performance improvements for load if its 'on'. Thus tuning requires these indexes to be on. For SQL Compare to remain useful it needs to highlight were where there is a difference in the property - and support deployments with the property to retain it as on.

Database scoped credentials are missing
SQL Compare ignore database scoped credentials. So you wont be able to create external data source from generated script. It's clear that password is not accessible. But if you prepare create statement with data available from sys.databasescopedcredentials and let us fill out secret it will be much better then to skip this object.

Separate ifg in the SQL Compare Options
Please break out the ifg switch in SQL Compare Options so file groups are separate from partition schemes and partition functions. Maybe ifg only ignores file groups, and create a second name ifp (or whatever) that would ignore only partition schemes and funtions.

Correct order when renaming column and adding column with the old name
After explicitly fixing column mapping, I encountered an error when renaming an existing column and then adding a new column using the old name (different casing).
SQL Compare had scripted the column add before the rename.
SQL Compare needs to be able to detect the conflict and script the rename before the column add.1 vote -
Allow option to not script logins when generating script and also add check for existing users to avoid errors
I was trying to create a copy of the development DB schema into local server. I got errors and warnings. The error I got was in the section of code that created the login and then attempted to create a user (myself). I didn't sent this error as it contained some confidential info. There also needs to be a way to remove things like login names from the generated email.

Have pop-up screens (My Projects, Compare Progress, Save Script, etc.) open up on the same display as the main program when program is running on a computer with multiple displays.
I've noticed that if I'm running SQL Compare or SQL Data Compare and move it to my secondary display, it still tries to open up pop-up dialogs on the primary display. This can be annoying, especially if it has been a little while since I used the program and I forget it does this and can't spot why program seems to have stopped responding to mouse clicks. Also, when the…

Commented-out blocks of code should show as changed
When an entire block of code is commented out with the /* */ characters, SQL Compare only shows only the lines with these characters as changed. It does not show the unchanged block of code between them as changed, even though the impact of commenting out this code can indeed be a significant change.
I suggest that unchanged lines of code enclosed by /* */ around it should still show as a substantive change. When we recently deployed an SP update with a large block of code that was commented out during testing, it slipped in because the scrolling view…
