I noticed in the latest arduino IDE release there is now a possibility to parse extra parameters to avrdude from programmers.txt with the following line:

programmer.program.extra_params=.....

This is really nice since I can now use my AVRdoper programmer in HID mode to directly program standalone uC's without the bootloader. Like this:

avrdoper.program.extra_params=-Pavrdoper

avrdude needs port=avrdoper parsed to program with AVRdoper in HID mode. And it's working fine in arduino IDE.

However the problem now is that VisualMicro doesn't parse the extra parameters. It still parses -Pusb or -P{serial.port}

I thought visual micro uses the arduino IDE directly to program?

Will this be implemented in a next release perhaps?
(at the moment I don't really need it. Since I can just use the arduino IDE, but still it would be nice to debug on arduino boards and then upload to standalone chips without having to switch Development Platforms)
