Very nice indeed Norm! I know I've asked for that very feature and I appreciate the work!
Have you looked at the possibillity of integrating source level debugging? (Hardware based (PICKit3 for example) not a software "stub" like in MCSP)

Keep up the nice work!

Somewhere I read a hardware vs software ICD would require a huge database of all PICs.
Perhaps someone could further explain.

sense when is the debugger in MCSP a software debugger? I would like a software debugger. I think its one thing missing from the Proton IDE.

c_moore,
It's always been a software debugger. With that I mean that a call to a software routine is performed between each PBP command, much like OnInterrupt works. It does use the PIC hardware USART to communicate with the PC but that takes up firmware space and execution cycles.

Norm,
I'm afraid I don't know the details about how the hardware debugger works but I'd guess all the files needed are available since it IS possible to debug at the source level from within MPLAB. I think it uses the .coff file generated at compile/assembly time but I don't know what else is needed.

Now available new FineLineIDE v2.0.0.0 with code collapse and auto indent!

Collapse unused lines for better view of relevant code.
Auto indent as you code for perfectly formatted indentation.

Thank you for your work Normnet!!!

I forgot to mention tabs was also added (smart and regular).

Smart tabs advance to the next character following a space in the lines preceding.
Regular tabs advance a preselected number of spaces.
