It would be nice if it was possible to select the desired prorgammer, eblock, pickit2 or pickit3 inside flowcode, not just in the install screen.
If you prototype with E-blocks and you want to program your design, in circuit with the pickit, it is not nice to look for the right settings and chance them every time you switch programmers.
In MPLab you can easily switch between programmers without bordering about locations and parameters.
An extra compile chip button (optional only if the user wants it) with additional programmer settings, makes quick switching possible between programmers.
By the way it was nice to make contact in Eindhoven last Saturday, a nice presentation.
Cheers,

Re: programmer selection
This is a good suggestion - I will put it on the list of future improvements.
If you are comfortable editing the Windows registry, you can do this fairly easily yourself. The information for the toolchain (programmer and compiler) for Flowcode is contained in the following registry "hive":
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\matrixmm\FlowCodeV4\Compiler
You can export the settings for this hive and just double-click the exported .reg file each time you wanted to swap the programmer (or compiler) settings.

Re: programmer selection
They are both good ideas.
Going to set reg keys up for hitec and boost C compilers, since there is quiet a difference in the settings.
Thanks for reg details.
