Spark-Dev IDE Questions

General
21

Really enjoying the new Spark-Dev IDE. A couple of suggestions / questions:

  • I am working on multiple projects concurrently. I find it a bit awkward that I can’t just have one view of all project folders (i.e. a real Spark Dev root directory), drill into one, and just compile / have open tabs for that project. Most IDEs (Eclipse, etc) work this way. Would be nice vs. having to do a File…Open to select the project folder I want… right now it opens another Spark Dev window with that. This seems to mimic the way the (IMHO, not so awesome) Arduino IDE works.

  • Seems it’s not possible to copy text from the Serial window? I really tried, it’s just not happening. I’m back to using CoolTerm for now, since it lets me do this. Am I missing something?

Keep up the great work! Loving everything Spark is up to!

I personally like the idea of keeping one project per window. If you choose to implement jdr’s idea, can you at least make it an option?

I want to be able to display the code size on spark dev as i can display it on Web IDE as shown here

any help ?

The issue is mentioned here: https://github.com/spark/spark-dev/issues/50

So short term answer is no and you can use the Spark-cli if there’s a strong need for you to view that information.

Spark-dev to edit and Spark-cli to compile might be the way to go for now :wink:

I installed the SPARK DEV IDE windows version with the link at
http://docs.spark.io/dev/#introduction-logging-in

( https://github.com/spark/spark-dev/releases/tag/v0.0.20 )

when i try running it, it gives me the message " NOT A VALID WIN32 APPLICATION"

Is there a windows xp version available?
