Consider using the programmer id in the programmer drop-down list

Open E3V3A opened this issue 7 years ago • 1 comments

It doesn't make much sense (to me) to use the description as the selector text for the (-p) programmer.
It would be much better to have the original programmer id instead, and then perhaps add the desciption as a mouse-over or additional text field after having selected.

Example:

People using BusPirate with avr dude use avrdude -p buspirate, whereas in avrdudess you need to scroll all the wa down to the bottom to find it under The Bus Pirate, which is not obvious at all.

Blame the avrdude guys for sticking "The" in there :P I'll see about making the drop down list searchable, or an option to switch between displaying description and ID.
