Flash Utility wish list

2005-05-18 by Peter Jakacki

If I didn't use the Flash Utility everyday I probably wouldn't be making 
this request. But as I do I am wondering whether Philips apps in Hamburg 
can make a few changes.

----
1. Skip the splash screen

2. Assign shortcut keys to the buttons or at least default the upload 
button (I'm not a mouse man, I'm a keyboard man)

3. Display the filename in the title bar as the filename window is too 
short for long paths.

4. Add a filename MRU?

5. Just for me I know but user buttons that send a programmable coms 
string as I use control sequences to activate my ISP monitor chip. i.e. 
"<ctrl A>PGM0P" places unit 0 into program mode. The DTR/RTS signals 
assume that you have these lines available etc. Personally, I prefer 
simple 3-wire coms.
----

What I would really like is for my terminal program (Teraterm) to share 
the coms port and call these functions directly. I'm guessing that won't 
happen.

Those Buffer operations would be useful but just seem to bomb out on my PC.

Anyhow, I always have the option of writing my own Flash Utility. It's 
just that windows programming seems such a distraction when all I want 
to do is embedded code.

TIA
