Re: [platform-debug-dev] LCD need

The properties dialog displays a single configuration for editing. There you cannot delete or create a configuration - only edit the current configuration. Deletion/creation is only supported in the launch dialog that displays a tree on the left hand side.

I have managed to work around the limitations of the current API, using the 
Proeprties Dialog.  It's not ideal, but it works well enough for now.   But 
the API is very unbalanced.  For example, (as far as I can tell), there's no 
way to delete a Configuration, but there it is possible to create one.
