Serial output window Select All, Copy

Hello
So am on RC 9.2 and think is great :smile:
I just tested the Serial Output Window and can't seem to get the Select All Copy function to work.
Works in 1.8.19 as expected, but RC 9.2 seems to copy the sketch space as well as the Serial Output.
Maybe it's me but can't seem to get it todo what i would like.
Thanks again IDE2 great, RC9.2 just keeps getting better.

Hello ptillisch
Just to let you know i am more than happy with IDE II RC9.2 think it is
really top notch IDE and just keeps getting better every RC release.
I have two projects on at moment, my autonomous robot's something I have
wanted to do for years.
And an oven controller project that friend wants that he may
commercialize, slow progress but getting there.
Thanks for a great IDE and all the support Ian
PS Have you guys ever thought of doing a AVR hardware UNO/NANO etc
emulator, or is that in the next release and your keep quiet about it :slight_smile:

Hello ptillisch

I have been doing some testing with Rob Tillaart on his ACS712 library
upcoming release 0.2.8.
During this testing he published on github a "ACS712-develop" library
that he named in .h 0.2.8
I installed this via the library install zip feature in version 1.8.19
and everything worked fine when I built my testing .ino app in IDE 2 rc9.2
Now Rob is planning to publish his 0.2.8 and i am planing on installing
it via the normal library install method in IDE 2 rc9.2

However, when i open library feature in IDE 2 rc9.2 it says ACS712 0.2.8
is already installed.
I guess because IDE 2 rc9.2 scans the libraries folder and finds
"ACS712-develop" and its name of 0.2.8.
However when i try to delete ACS712 0.2.8 via IDE 2 rc9.2 it reports
"Library ACS712 is not installed"

Not an issues as i can manually delete folder "ACS712-develop" and then
install as normal ACS712 0.2.8 in IDE 2 rc9.2.
But just thought I would mention it as little anomaly in IDE 2 rc9.2.

All best, think IDE is top notch, Ian Knight

Hi @imk123. Thanks for your report.

This is caused by a bug in Arduino CLI, which is tracked here:

The problem is that the library uninstallation system is keyed off the folder name of the library (referred to as "name" in the Arduino CLI code base and machine interfaces) instead of the correct approach of keying it off the value of the name field in the library.properties metadata file (referred to as "real_name" in the Arduino CLI code base and machine interfaces).

When you install a library via Library Manager, the folder name of the library installation is based on the "real_name" value, so it ends up working anyway. But when you do an installation from a ZIP file or manually, the folder name can be mismatched from the "real_name" value, which causes the uninstallation to fail.

This is a version, not a name. It is also defined in the library's library.properties metadata file:

many thanks for the info, i had pretty much figured that, that was the way it was.
Just mentioned it as I know you must be getting close to release V1 of IDE 2.
IDE2 I think love and can't get enough of it.
Ian

You are welcome. Thanks again for taking the time to report the bug you encountered. That is always welcome.

I appreciate your positivity about the Arduino IDE 2.x project. With the exception of Serial Monitor, it really is now feeling to me like the necessary functionality is there and the user experience is pleasant.

Hello,
Just download IDE V2 release version and very nice i am going to make a contribution :slight_smile:
One thing I noticed is missing is the ability to print a file or section of code.
I know we are all trying to save the world but sometimes you just have to print it!
Keep up the good work Ian Knight

Thanks @imk123. The lack of a print capability is tracked here:

The issue is not resolved. Still no workaround?

Instead of copy/past to an external editor, I may also search for a specific sentence inside the serial monitor but can't do this.

I see @MarsaMatruh submitted a formal feature request to the Arduino IDE developers:

Thanks!
