Alternate way to deploy to watch?

Compiling in Eclipse, plugging in watch via USB, rename and copy over prg file, then unplug watch is a pita. Will there ever be an easier way to deploy to the watch?
  • I think you should realize that this is beta software. I'm certain that it is the way it is because developers have been asking for the ability to test directly on a device for about a month now. Users are not likely to have to deal directly with file system issues for the final product.

    I completely understand that it is still beta, I am just adding to the conversation. I enjoy testing the beta and providing any feedback I can :)
  • Simple two-line batch file where ever is most convenient
    1. Delete old
    2. Copy-rename new
  • We appreciate all feedback. Since we are in beta this is how it's going to have to work for the time being. I second the batch file as recommended by 4DJELLIOT, as that's how I deploy PRG files to my watch. Windows usually gives the watch the same drive letter each time it's connected so once you setup the batch file you shouldn't have to modify it unless you change projects.
  • It is even easier under MacOSX, as the device is always accessible as /Volumes/GARMIN/GARMIN/....

    But... it would be nice if you can outline how we should expect the deployment to happen in the future even if it not committed or implemented...
