Thanks Andras,
I was able to find the option shortly after posting. What screwed me up was that I had enabled filters to exclude these entities (among others) since first configuring SQL Compare. So when I turned partition scheme and function back on, I didn't expect to have to go turn them on somewhere else as well.
I think a handy usability item would be to disable turning filters on/off for objects that can't be displayed no matter what due to underlying settings. / comments

I concur with Giggles220... I would rather see the old project selection screen (with all projects, not just 6) than be prompted to open my last project only. Make it an option maybe for the different types of DBAs you have as customers?
Though, I'm not going to fight too hard for this one. I already won my synchronization arrow battle and may want to quit while I'm ahead. :-) / comments

Thanks Chris, but I am not using the GUI, this is actually a SQL Server agent job on a 3rd server calling the extended procs on the source server. And the 3rd server is only backing up a single server and never more than one DB at a time.
Plenty of disk space. And like I said, the backups work fine if the 3rd server tells the source, back up to your own local Y: drive (SAN). It fails when the 3rd server tells the source, back up to that other server's Y: drive (same SAN underneath).
As an experiment, I ran the same commands from the source server and experienced the same issue. So the 3rd server is not part of the equation, it would seem. / comments

Hey I hope you're not implying that it was only me who wanted this feature back! :-) / comments

If you save, yes. Typically when I switch direction from the project's original state it is just for that time. If I don't save then Compare should leave it the way it was if I close and re-open. / comments

No I think that the two databases should stay on the same side as registered no matter what you decide to do. That would add an unnecessary level of confusion IMHO. / comments

>> A fixed list would be preferable for my usage with the option to open other projects as needed.
I could work with that if opening other projects was also visual. I really don't want to change my way of thinking to force myself to either name all of my projects or remember what SQL Compare decided to name them. Visually parsing those long names is quite tedious, and I really think they got the visual representation in the 7.0 dialog (and the new dropdown) right. It just needs an easier way to get at more than 6 projects that way. / comments

The new dropdown isn't missing anything, except that it only holds 6 projects. I should be able to access all my projects there.
The menu entry under File is much less useful to me. I'd like to stay with the visual identification and not have to know or care what you're calling the SCP file names behind the scenes.
So in other words, keep the drop down, but make it hold all of my projects instead of 6. This would most closely mimic the behavior of the old project dialog from version <= 7. If you can fix that I don't think you will have to invest any time into making file names easier to identify, coming up with better defaults, etc. / comments

I meant the file menu item, not the larger dropdown.
Sure, if I save as I can create my own. And that's great if I'm a first-time user or if I'm adding a bunch of new projects. When I am upgrading and I have 30 or 40, none of which I had ever seen a name for before this version, it's less useful, because they're already named with these log and non-visual names. The first 6 look fine but then if I am browsing for it I have to parse these big long names. / comments

Can you post a list of features that were changed or removed, and where applicable, explain why? For some of these features I am more than happy to change the way I work if I understand the reason. In this specific case, the dialog worked fine, and I am curious why it was felt it needed to be removed / replaced. / comments
