Description
Currently when trying to run a application with a remote device that is not attached, QtCreator just fails with only a message in the output panes.
It would be better to pop up a "WaitForDevice" dialog that shows a busy indicator and a text that reflects the different states of
IDevice::deviceState():
-> "Please attach your device" when disconnected
-> "Waiting for the device to get ready" when connected but not ready
As soon as the device is connected the dialog disappears and the deploy/run configuration can continue.
It would also be handy if it was possible to have a generic way to, for example, autostart a emulator device type, the plugin developer should be able to provide a custom dialog, or register some callback/slot to do custom initializations.
