Description Gustavo de Paula CLA 2008-07-08 09:56:46 EDT 
on the device manager preference, the user has to manually select the folder where the SDK is available.

it would be nice to have a functionality to automatically search the HD looking for UEI SDKs. after the search a list would be presented to the user where he/she would able to select which ones he/she wants to import. 

this functionality will not remove the manually import sdk feature

Hi Gustavo,

Do you mean that the search automatically begins after user select the folder in the device import dialog?

If search the whole HD, it may take a long time to do that.
Comment 2 Gustavo de Paula CLA 2008-07-11 11:21:46 EDT 
i was initially thinking about the whole HD similar to what netbeans does and then present a list of everything that was found to the user. maybe the approach for that is to search for "emulator" executable files.

does that make sense? feel free to send other possible suggestions

:)

thanks, I got it, I think it is useful for the user.
netbeans may not search the whole HD, because the search process is very quick, and not all UEI SDKs can be searched out.

it is nice if we can have that on the 1.0
Comment 6 Gustavo de Paula CLA 2009-04-02 12:29:18 EDT 
this is an enhancement and probably it will not be possible to handle this on 1.0 timeframe.
