would be nice to have all dependencies of an Arduino project found and<br>
brought home. Save me scrabbling through the maze of folders.<br>
So I installed it and imported a sample arduino project and it did show<br>
me the dependencies and I could look inside them and see the source<br>
code with one click. Lovely.<br>
But importing a real project, taken from Github, it is giving me the<br>
runaround.<br>
This is the latest twoddle:<br>

ERROR filefunctions.copy() expects the destination not yet to exist<br>
/home/martin/Embeetle/embeetle/rds_RADIO_THAT_WORKS/source/libraries/Wi<br>
re/src/Wire.cpp<br>
NoneType: None<br>

Since that is a new folder I assume that it's already put that file in<br>
there and forgot.<br>

Please don't be tempted to get involved - I'm just showing you the view<br>
from my side of the swamp.<br>
