And thank goodness it is!

New Delivery System

ProffieConfig Version 1.7.x and onward will now use the V2 delivery system. For me that means things are easier to build, manage, modify, and update, and for everyone using ProffieConfig, that means that updates are seamless.

After installing v1.7.x, updating ProffieConfig won’t require redownloading the entire bundle, nor will it require you moving your configurations back and forth to prevent them being lost, everything is simply updated in-place.

This also means that ProffieConfig installs itself properly now. On Windows that means no more resources folder to keep track of, and a handy shortcut in your Start Menu. macOS already had a pretty simple install process, but now things are just packaged a bit nicer :slight_smile:

Other notable items:
  • ProffieConfig has a new icon!
    • Channeling all my graphic design muster (which isn’t much!), I put together an icon that (I think) looks a lot nicer, and is much more distinctive and recognizable.
    • I plan to roll it out to places where it isn’t present yet, but it’s now being used in most places.

The icon marks another upgrade too… brownie points to anyone who notices :wink:

  • Custom props are now supported in UI
    • ProffieConfig has (almost) always supported custom props, but adding them was a bit cumbersome. The new props dialog rectifies this by proving a simple way to add and manage custom props.
  • “Injection File” feature has been implemented, which I eventually plan to expand to implement CONFIG_BOTTOM and CONFIG_STYLES.
    • ProffieConfig only reads CONFIG_STYLES right now, in case you didn’t know

UI Improvements

  • Config overflow and verification (File->Verify Config) will now show the % flash used.
  • Progress bars during compile and upload are now more descriptive and more responsive
  • Many other small UI additions, tweaks, and fixes to polish things up! :rocket:

Of course, that’s not all, but I figure you’re tired of hearing my blabber on by now!

A full changelog can be found on GitHub, and you can download the new ProffieConfig Launcher from the usual place on the website:

Now, watch it completely break for everyone :sweat_smile:

Very cool. Works well. Serial monitor works fine to. I’ll try some more features later. But pretty simple to use. Nice work.
