  Hi Eldon - the GCC beta forum is here: http://forums.parallax.com/forumdisplay.php?93-Propeller-GCC-Beta
  
  Hope that helps. Another thing is sometimes using "site:forums.parallax.com <keywords>" for your search in your browser, it's much more efficient than the forum search engine.

  It does go in propeller-load with the other *.cfg files. If it is formatted correctly, SimpleIDE should pick it up. There is a button to refresh the configs or else when you exit and restart SimpleIde it will find it. I'm not at a pc now, so I can't suggest much else. You should be able to take an existing config, copy it to a new name and then change the name on line 1 (I think) and it should show up with your new name in SimpleIDE just as a test.

  This is a strange phenomena I wonder if eldon had the same problem as me..
  
  I while back I would see the GCC forums listed on the main forum list, then they would disappear and I could only get a link to them by going to the prop forum and looking at the top of the page where there is also a list of gcc forums, but for a while the gcc forums were always just disapearing for me on the front page, deleting cache and refreshing didnt fix it. I havent had this problem in a few months though

  Where in GCC/SimpleIDE do I insert my "CustomProp.cfg" file so that it shows up in the list of available propeller configs?
  
  My attempts to add a file to the "propeller-load" directory does not seem to work as I would have expected.
  
  Thanks,
  Eldon

  Hi Eldon.
  
  Add your file named in all "lower case letters" to one of these: "c:\propgcc\propeller-load\" under windows, "/opt/parallax/propeller-load/" under linux, or "SimpleIDE/parallax/propeller-load" under Mac. The board type will show up in upper case in SimpleIDE after restart or clicking the puzzle piece button.
  
  I recommend not adding # [boardtype] to line 1 of any config file. It just confuses things and makes messy copy/paste problems.

  Steve,
  
  Thanks, that worked for my linux install.
  
  I had placed my cfg file in another directory at: "/usr/local/propgcc/propeller-load/", which was maybe mis-created via a previous failed attempt to get the SimpleIDE working.
  
  But with your suggestion, my custom 10MHz TCVCXO config is available and driving the "Prop VGA Demo" just fine at 80MHz, all works well !!
  
  Now, I need to sort out, figure out, and remove the perhaps previously mis-installed files and directories, for the SimpleIDE, so that they will NOT be misused again. Maybe a purge and reinstall is in order :-)
  
  Regards
  Eldon
