Browse box for install and reset button on serial terminal window

This is really a great product and I have not had problems using it. 
I would like to request two possible future additions. First, in the install it would be nice to browse to the location the Arduino files are installed as well as typing in the path in the box. It makes it easier for those of us who are lazy. Second feature request would be a reset button on the serial terminal window. That way you can reset without pushing the button on the board. The idea for the reset button comes from Arduino ERW 1.0.4 and comes in very handy when the Arduino has sent display items to serial port before the terminal window has come up.

Hi thanks for the feedback.

Thanks for the reminder, I wanted to do that but ran out of time. Will do soon.

fyi: If you need to alter the path at any future time the same option is available, "Tools>Options>Visual Micro>Locations>Arduino Application" can be used which has a picker. You will also see a "Sketchbook folder" in the same location that also has a picker. Neither paths require the ide to be re-started after modification.

The default for Visual Micro should be to always re-set the Arduino, because this is how the arduino ide works. You can switch this feature on/off by toggling the "Dtr" check box on the serial monitor window. If you can't see the Dtr box then please make the serial window a little wider.

Thanks again
