The one thing that springs to mind is some form of version control and maybe extended project management.

Edit: Alright, the two things that spring to mind..... :)

This was planned but now all the project is in standbay. If (maybe) I continue developments, I'll perhaps add such features.

Thanks for suggestions.

Regards

Wouldn't the amount of work to build and verify a new IDE be comparable to extending SF to higher series of chips? If so, that is where I would like to see the effort.

Speaking as an entrepreneur, I would think adding an additional SF version or extension for the 24F or higher series would increase sales of the product much more that a revamped 18F IDE. I would think David could make a better return from his efforts and investment by adding a whole new audience of users than just adding another choice for 18F users.

How many new users would switch to SF with a new IDE anyway? 18F series has a core group of users but they tend to stick with what tools they know and there's a lot more users using the higher series or switching to the higher series. I see that Microchip is proposing to buy Atmel, perhaps we'll see Microchip cores in Atmel chips. That could be a whole new opportunity for SF as well.
