  • Automatically displaying a related file in an editor
    Patent number: 8930895
    Abstract: Art editor within an integrated development environment displays a related file automatically. When a user enters a command to open a first file in the editor, the editor not only displays the first file's content (in a “primary editor”) but also automatically displays a second file's content (in a “related editor”), where the second file is related to the first file. In other words, when a first file is displayed in the editor, a file that is related to the first file is automatically displayed also. If the primary editor later displays a different file, then the file shown in the related editor will likely change as well, since the file shown in the related editor will be related to the “new” file in the primary editor. In other words, whatever is displayed in the related editor “tracks” whatever is displayed in the primary editor.

  • Access control based on development profiles
    Patent number: 8434146
    Abstract: Systems and methods for selectively providing access to a media device based on a profile associated with the media device. In certain embodiments, the profile of the media device can be user-defined as a development profile or a personal profile. When the device is connected to a host computer system, the profile of the media device is accessed. If the profile of the media device is a development profile, an integrated development environment on the host computer system can access the media device. If the profile of the media device is a personal profile, the integrated development environment is prevented from accessing the device.
