Just spent some time with the new IDE. Looks like it's using pluggable discovery but isn't using pluggable monitor.
Sounds about right... I think, guessing at terms and what we are seeing.
So playing with MTP stuff and it does not like SEREMU, thought I would try our version of MTP+Serial, so added it to boards.txt and boards.local.txt and the new item did not show up under
USB type menu...
@mjs513 found an open issue about this: https://github.com/arduino/arduino-cli/issues/1614
So did the work around of delete the folder: C:\Users\<user name>\AppData\Roaming\arduino-ide\
And sure enough it shows up... <Now need to update the code to use it>
But a couple of interesting notes:
a) The added items are not in the order they are defined, they appear to be completely random.
Which can be annoying as maybe they were defined in what you think is a logical order...
b) The first time you install IDE2 (and in the case the roaming folder is gone, the Arduino startup code nicely goes out and wipes out some of your libraries in your <sketch folder>/libraries

So need restore that one... And get back to playing
Side note: I totally dislike the splash screen they put up to try to hide how slow their window is to startup. But especially since it is stuck on top, so it gets in the way if you wish to do other things while it starts up...
