Suggestions for Improvements to XPe Tools

[Mike Warren]

Does anyone here know where to make suggestions for the XPe tools?

I couldn't find anything on the ECE site.

My suggestion is to have a function to ignore dependencies for a
particular component in an SLX file. This could cause the component
icon to change (perhaps with a red dot in the corner) so it is obvious
what has happened.

Perhaps this function would only work in expert mode.

Because I need a small image I have a large number of dependency errors
that I have to let ride. I find it very time consuming to look through
them all each time I change something to find out which are new errors.

I keep getting "The page cannot be displayed" error whenever I click on
the "New Thread" button.

Is anyone else having that problem?

I agree 100% with this. It would be nice to check them off and have them at
least dimmed out, and remember those settings for that image.

I posted it to the XPE forum but there has not yet been any response.

I would like to see a Notes field in Target Designer for each component
so that I could record things like: "This component was needed to support
XYZ function."

Another Excellent Idea.
