What is the meaning and the influence of the "isTargetManual" tag under the <projectOptions> tag in a .ccsproject file?

(Could not find it in the wiki)

Thanks

    Ok thanks. 

    It raised another question:

    In my CCSv5, the gui seems to work the opposite: 

    When checked, it lets me choose the connection manually:

    When unchecked, it doesn't let me choose:

    Actually the behavior is the same.

    Yes, this is intended behavior

    Basically, enabling that option is telling CCS that you want the CCS project manager to maintain the target configuration file. For the project manager to do so, it needs to know the connection type. Hence why you can choose the connection type.

    If you uncheck the option, you are telling CCS that you will maintain the target configuration file yourself manually. Hence the connection type is not needed by the project manager since you will maintain the target configuration yourself. Hence the option to choose in the project is disabled.

    Thanks
