Enhanced preferences page #35

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

An enhanced preferences page.

It would nice to see some of the more useful parts of the prefs file moved
onto a preferences page. Such as the definition of tab stops, for only one
example.

Or is it there stated / unstated policy that Arduino IDE should be lashed
to the Processing IDE as much as possible? If so then asking for these
improvements really only makes sense in Processing forums?

Besides the items which are currently available I would like to see the 
following
preferences to be accessible by a preferences dialog:

Editor Color scheme 
Message-console output Color scheme 
Editor font 
Editor tab-width
Editor line-highlight
Hardware-programmer used for uploading, makes the List in menu burn-bootloader 
obsolete
Web-browser startup command for reference-display
build.verbose
upload.verbose

While the Arduino preferences dialog differs slightly from the Processing one 
(some options have been removed), 
i'd rather defer to Processing on things that apply to both programs.  I'm not 
sure the build.verbose and 
upload.verbose options are important enough to include.  

What would the hardware programmer selection look like?  How would it affect 
uploading, burning the 
bootloader, and the burn bootloader menu item?

These are the only preference-items I change on a regular basis (for 
debugging). 

>>What would the hardware programmer selection look like? 
User selects his programmer from a ComboBox that lists all programmers which are
supported by the IDE.

>>How would it affect uploading
We could have 2 Buttons/Menuitems, one for uploading with the programmer and 
one for
using the bootloader 
Or
You set a flag in the preferences "Upload Programmer vs. Upload Bootloader"

>> burning the bootloader and the burn bootloader menu item?
MenuItem says "Burn Bootloader". Command uses the programmer selected in the 
preferences.

I'll add a separate item for enabling verbose mode if shift is held down when 
pressing compile or upload.  The 
others I think we can leave in the preferences file.
