"Device path" instability warning #2240

@konstantin10return

Description

@konstantin10return

Requested feature:

In the serial devices menu, add an icon (exclamation mark in a triangle) next to the line 'Device path'. When you hover/click on the icon, you can display a warning that this path option is not stable and it is better to use 'path by id' or 'path by hardware'.

Solves the following problem:

I noticed a small problem with the devices menu: it psychologically predisposes inexperienced users to choose the unstable "Device path" (out of three possible options for accessing the serial device).
