Ask to switch working firmware type when opening an eeprom file / reading it from TX #73

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago

Currently when one loads an eeprom document for a firmware that is different 
from the one selected in C9X preferences, it gets automatically converted to 
the selected type. 

For example, my C9x is set to open9x for stock board, if I open an ersky9x 
eeprom file it will be converted on the fly to open9x for stock board format, 
without warning, and potentially corrupting incompatible settings. 

It would be preferable that on eeprom load, if there is a mismatch between 
eeprom format and C9X settings, a popup came up, and asked the user whether he 
wants to either convert the eeprom, or automatically change the selected 
firmware type in C9X to match the eeprom's one!

Not really it get converted into c9x internal format, no info is lost, you can 
also switch later...
But maybe a popup can be implemented, but I will place on low priority.

When loading an EEPROM, we don't keep it in memory. There are already Popups 
opened when there is a mismatch (especially when we write the EEPROM and a 
field is not supported either by c9x or the FW).

Yep, didn't know back then. 

But that issue wasn't necessarily meant for the general public, but more for 
developers/helpers and the simulator.

For example I use open9x, but when someone has an issue and posts his eeprom 
file for review it might be an er9x file. If I open it and simulate, it will 
simulate open9x behavior, not er9x behavior, and it's not obvious.

When loading the EEPROM on Linux the type of the EEPROM is dumped in the 
console.
