Hello, I have spot some errors and some suggestions.
In the Product Information:
developer ID states that is either the decimal value or the hex value.
in product name you can trim automagically spaces rather than saying single word

In the configuration registers:
every register I add goes into type=out, this is misleading as configuration registers can be both
be read or written right?

in the register editor I would say change "New" to "Add" .

Now here's the fun after I have added a Reg ID, say the first one 11, I get the following error on the console:
robomotic@optimus:~/CodeRepository/BaseStation/Seismo/swapmaker$ python swapmaker.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/robomotic/CodeRepository/BaseStation/Seismo/swapmaker/wizard.py", line 261, in button_edit_pressed
    dialog = CfgRegisterDialog(self, self.registers[index]["id"], self.registers[index]["name"], self.registers[index]["parameters"])
  File "/home/robomotic/CodeRepository/BaseStation/Seismo/swapmaker/dialogs.py", line 325, in __init__
    RegisterDialog.__init__(self, parent, regid, regname, parameters)
  File "/home/robomotic/CodeRepository/BaseStation/Seismo/swapmaker/dialogs.py", line 242, in __init__
    self.list_parameters.SetStringItem(index, 2, param["dir"])
KeyError: 'dir'

when I try to edit it.
See screenshot.

I can however continue in the next section that has the same bug when I try to edit it:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/robomotic/CodeRepository/BaseStation/Seismo/swapmaker/wizard.py", line 263, in button_edit_pressed
    dialog = RegRegisterDialog(self, self.registers[index]["id"], self.registers[index]["name"], self.registers[index]["endpoints"])
KeyError: 'endpoints'

At the end when I try to save the XML definition, a warning starts:

Unable to save /home/robomotic/CodeRepository/BaseStation/Seismo/swapmaker/output/WristWatch.xml

I went to check the file which actually exist, but is empty inside!

Let me know if you need more info to find out what causes the problem.

Cheers.

Thanks Paolo.

Always decimal. Appended (DEC) to developer id and product id labels

Added to the to-do list

Config parameters are always outputs since they need to be written
(and also read) from the outside

> in the register editor I would say change "New" to "Add" .

Done

As for the errors, they have been solved. SWAPmaker has been updated on SVN.
