Interesting but isTablet() will say the latest Android phones are tablets (1280x720).
yeah but we have to put limits to our targets.. anything above ...., we cant please evereybody , but if the aim is to make a app for the main devices avaible, and also for the desktop, first of all u are like a freakin hero to me, so thanks for replying i am more a dot net programmer, but love the freedom of templating even do msbuild stuff .proj, or NANT the copycat of ant, combined with i will post this one later, i got a little thingie that it call pluginsweeper, it basicly just disables and also temp, removes or copy the config files
so start up with all and 3 options native, flash , or mobilestuff, and disable , and after that option debugs or not, dont wanna debug dont need 5 plugins, copy the dll files to a temp dir, and also acording to that choice removes the sniplets and templates. not remove but move.
u are a coder so u know that any process started in a threath is owned ,so i start flashdevelop with a small watch thingie, this makes me the owner of any dll's loaded after and always mutex, if u make a plugin that uses some of the maingui, and u embed it, u have the 2 of them, and a restart will kill the main , but not the activated plugin, took me like ages to find out why it was getting slowwwwwwwwww
and i can hook, before so can redirect rather then embed i want tha output native, the output panel or any compiling , should never, effect the ide of fd, all outside of the main app and plugincore.
i just adjust what i dont like, what i mean is if u wanna hang a painting u can have like a a room shitload of expensive good tools , but just one screwdriver and one screw that fits and one drill, will make u much more happy, so i try to make all i do so cloud-portable as possible
just start ask what do u wanna do , and load all that stuff after, and also all the vars, and even set windows path vars acording but always temp since i started up with a starter that one is the one that puts the ant/sdk/android shit at run time in the syspath when i close that one it is gone, i noticed that it made a huge difference in speed
THIS Is not relevant if you just have one comuter this is all perfectly done, and it is not neeeded, just think it is cool that i can just plugin a usbstick anywhere and yes even have a portable jdk

that when i plug it out that there are no traces
so improved what u already made with the personal templates/projects dir an option to switch that by just restarting, depending on what u wanna do, also made a few runtime lazy loaded vars from dropbox or any that u can make static like username,sdk, compilersettings and paths in plain text files.
so i can also backup the settings in portable mode, i just need that coz i am always on the road..
so just wanna thank you , sure i can use sharpdevelop or avalon, or notepad, but i want just one proggie and well, flashdevelop ever since scite my number one, when i needed to do anything with flash. even on a 4000mhz with 6gb RAM , it will still take 40 seconds.
to load and compile,fd 15 seconds ,and will even do it withouth the ide

And well i guess i got just one person to thank for that..
and just wanted to give credits,
and ask if should post a few thingies that are normal to me.. portable fdz unzipper. asks where u wanna have it
and the whole svb solution flashdevelop project, i made some nant files, so you can compile just the whole thing with switches , withouth having visual studio installed,
just numbers
1 do coreplugins ,2 do flashdevelop ide, 3 do other plugins
4 combine all the settings and stuff from another dir.
5. make a unique plugin template outside with a always chaning guid, so you can play with it, and it aint hard, but it took me months to figure out .and works the best with the settings just one level higher then fd itself
When u are a noob and open the solution file as it is well.....

Just feel like after 4 years of using i should do something back.
And want other people to see how easy it is to do anything u want, and not to get stuck by embeding fd.exe, or overwrite the dll's just use them in the code etc

,
and since i am starting fd with a bootstrapper i can just say -usedebugplugins , and the one i love the most, -likealzeimer, no history etc

Please let me know if u need any beta testers, since adobe decided to killl ubuntu, i am using that code in virtualbox to debug in emulators and it works like a charm
Thanks and sorry for the long reply but needed to really point out why i am thankfull
