Bill: Actually, I was hoping that /dev/serial/by-id (symlinks automatically created by modern udev under Linux kernels newer than 2.6.18) could be made visible to the dropdowns. I'm uncertain if there's a method for that under QT.. However, I've noted that the aliases created by udev are NOT visible in the dropdowns. my /dev/ttyRB (which I've got set up in udev to be created when my RigBlaster Advantage connects) does not show up. As I stated, I can manually enter /dev/ttyRB into the fields (and it works that way), and that's a step, but having the ability to use /dev/serial/by-id/* listings in the dropdowns would be even more helpful for those who don't wish (or don't have the knowledge) to create udev rules for their devices. If QT won't parse those directories, or anything that is a link to a "system" ttyUSB? or ttyS?, then I'm wondering if there isn't another method that could be used to be able to (at least) use the /dev/serial/by-id links. Thank you for the time you took to answer.
