Publishing libraries - repeated entry of description, tags

15 Aug 2010

The only way I've found to publish an updated library is from the context menu of the compiler.

I then have to re-enter the description and tags, which gets a bit tedious.

Is there a better way to do this?

Hi Romilly,

You are not missing anything. There will certainly be a better way to do this soon, but for now you are right; it "forgets" the details and you need to re-enter them. We're just finalising a compiler update that will really improve the workflow and publishing for programs and libraries, and this includes the description and tags being persistent so this problem will no longer exist.

Thanks for the comments; we'll shout when it is up on beta and it'd be great if you could try it out.

Thanks, Simon,

I'll be happy to beta-test when it's ready. The current situation is a minor annoyance, and easily overcome.

I am having such fun with the mbed. Thank you, thank you to all the mbed team!
