[Paparazzi-devel] Improvements in settings handling in paparazzicenter

[Gautier Hattenberger]

Dear all,

Some improvements in the handling of settings have just been merged into 
master (https://github.com/paparazzi/paparazzi/pull/834):
- it is possible to enable/disable a settings' file without 
adding/removing the file each time thanks to a check box
- for the modules, it allows to define the settings directly in the 
module's xml file, thus they will be automatically added to the list of 
possible settings (enabled by default)

In order to make it work, you need to get the latest code and recompile 
it, but since some library files have been moved, it is recommended to 
clean first, hence type:

make clean
make

Right now, only one drawback still persists. In case of automatically 
unloaded modules (when a target is not supported, 'sim' for instance) 
with embedded settings, the list of available settings in the GCS may be 
corrupted if you build two targets without cleaning first. Example:

build ap & upload -> it works
build sim & run simulator -> it works
run ap again -> it may fail if some modules with settings have been 
unloaded

In this cases, the paparazzicenter should tell you that the checksum is 
wrong and then you need to clean and build ap again.

Please report any other issues that we may have missed.

Happy flights

Gautier
