[chirp_devel] RFC display_pre_upload_prompt_before_opening_port user selectable
Hi all! Recently we had some issue (#1641 #1655 and #1715) where user are able to download from radio but are unable to upload. Common points I've noticed are OSX 10, prolific cables (probably clone) and yaesu radio. I suspect all is caused by an OS, driver, cable and software timing combination. On issue #1614 user solved changing cable driver but on issue #1715 problem have been solved setting display_pre_upload_prompt_before_opening_port to False. We already know changing that setting for all is not completely safe so I'm looking for a solution where the user can change that setting on his own.
What if I add a check box on upload to radio dialog to force display_pre_upload_prompt_before_opening_port to false? Check box label can be "Force alternative open port scheme"
Any thoughts? Suggestions?

Any why is that? Because it messes up timing hitting the clone TX button on the radio and the PC or something? Or are we doing anything with the serial port that might be changing things?
I'm not opposed to adding a way to disable this, but I'd like to know if it's something we can avoid by changing something else, or if it's purely a user timing issue.

Well Dan ... I don't know if it's a timing issue but I guess it is. I'll ask user to do some more test.
