Hi All,
Really happy with the Arduino environment so far... its serving as a great base for my own open source projects. Anyway, I've run into some things that I would love to see. Nothing major, just interface improvements that would really improve my user experience (sorry for the web-dev slang)
* Add a library path. All the files in this extra path either get copied over at compile time, or just get compiled in place. Copying stuff to the library folder works, but I do library development in subversion, and i have a 'library' folder in there. As it stands I can do 2 things: 1. copy my libraries over every time i make a change, re-compile (works, but repetitive and painful) or 2. check out my files to the Arduino library folder, but then i have to remember to copy them back to the repository folder to get checked back in.
* Remember my last path on file open. I mainly use Arduino as a simple way to compile my code and upload it to the Arduino. I use TextMate to actually edit stuff. What I'll do is open a sketch, run it, go back to textmate to make changes, re-open the file and compile it again. Unfortunately Arduino forgets the last file I opened, which is a pain in the but when my file is located at /Desktop/reprap/trunk/users/hoeken/ardunio/firmware/HoekensCustom/HoekensCustom.pde
other than that, i'm loving it!
