The main GUI is built in QT so making a mac port shouldn't be too hard (the serial port detection would be the hardest part I think).

However it does support bookmarks. With bookmarks you open the serial port you want to use then select to bookmark it. WhippyTerm will take the current config you are using and save it for later. You can then just pick the bookmark later to reopen that connection. Bookmarks also store some of the settings (like is it a binary or text connection, terminal size, colors, etc).

It's a lot like bookmarks in a web browser.

Internally the comport IO driver is just a plugin that gets compiled into the main exe (any plugin can be made into a built in, just add the source to the .pro file, add a call to the register function and now the extern plugin is built in).

So you could copy the existing comport IO driver, change the 'REGISTER_PLUGIN_FUNCTION_PRIV_NAME' and 'COMPORT_URI_PREFIX' defines to something else (so it doesn't conflict with the built in 'COM' one). Change the code so filter any comport that isn't for the Bluetooth device. Compile the source and package the resulting .dll using the ExternPluginMaker tool. Done

When the new plugin is installed the new connection dialog you will list your detected "devices" listed along with all the other types (you could prefix them with bluetooth for example).

Feel free to email me if you would like more details.

Thanks for the feed back.

After you have them installed and working all you have to do is load the .pro file from the Project directory (https://github.com/TheBeef/WhippyTerm/tree/main/Project) you should be able to just hit the green debug/go button and it should work (you do need to be using the gcc toolchain). This is the same for the Windows build.

Hope this helps.
