referencing issue #838
This is really an annoying issue with these asking FOR pde support:
#217 #752 #793
but they are all individually wrong:
PDE is for processing, arduino uses INO. Arduino DID use pde prior to the first release ( as it was a cut-copy of Processing ) but now PDE on arduino is considered "read only" - read more here
Now with Ardiuno on 1.8.9 and Processing on 3.5.3; Both popular, both being used in their own way, allowing people to use pde files for arduino is sacrilegious to both camps.
In regards to other arduino-based examples and etc using PDE. (Looking at #752 specifically ) The correct place to submit an issue is on THAT codebase to rename .pde; not for tools like this one to support pde.
It also makes life difficult for people who use both Arduino and Processing in their educational work, such as myself. Any work I do in the Processing language is renamed to the Arduino extension automatically, and it doesn't need to be, because PDE is not arduino; INO is.
I hope this closes the issue enough to not bring this up again; It's like typesafety for files; you can't rename an short an int and call it a day because now code compiles.
