Features

Feature	Description
Cleanup Duplicate App Files	Scans your repository for duplicate .app files and deletes older versions, keeping only the latest of each app.
Region Viewer	Shows all #region blocks in the active AL file as a navigable tree in the Explorer sidebar. Supports nested regions and live updates as you type.
Pragma Viewer	Shows all #if, #elseif, and #pragma warning directives across the entire workspace, grouped by symbol or warning code. Click any line to navigate to it.
Version Bump	Increments the Major, Minor, Build, or Revision segment of app.json with a single command, with automatic reset of lower segments. Status bar shows the current version at a glance.
Nuke .alpackages	Deletes all .app files from every .alpackages folder in the workspace to force a clean re-download of dependencies.
Sync .alpackages to Latest	Finds the newest version of each app across all .alpackages folders, removes older copies, and propagates the latest version to any folder that was behind.
Launch Config Manager	Save AL launch configurations to user settings and paste them into any project's launch.json via a right-click context menu.
Procedure Visibility	Report local / internal / public procedure counts in an AL file, navigate to any procedure, and bulk-change procedures between any visibility — in the current file or across the whole project.
Report Viewer	Navigable tree of data items, triggers, request page, rendering layouts, global variables, and procedures in the active AL report file. Loads once on file open; manual refresh only.
Rainbow Indent	Highlights each indentation level with a distinct rainbow color. Toggle on/off with Ctrl+Shift+I. Updates live as you type.
Assignment Tracker	Finds every place in a file or the whole workspace where a specific AL field is assigned — via Validate(), :=, or TransferFields(). Results appear in a dedicated sidebar with click-to-navigate.
Add SetLoadFields	Analyzes which fields are accessed on a Record variable and inserts (or merges into) a SetLoadFields call before the first database retrieval. Goes one level deep into called procedures.
Parameter Alignment	Toggles procedure declarations between a single-line layout and a vertical layout (one parameter per line, 4-space indent). Triggered via the lightbulb on any line of the declaration.
