Bug with NB_Find tool?

I just stumbled on what might be a bug in the NBFind tool that runs in an Eclipse view...
NBFind fails if (don't ask) the AppName is longer than 64 chars. If you happen to download an app with such a long AppName, everything seems to run, although if you do a "Scan for Devices" in NBFind, it will show the previously downloaded AppName on that device. More problematic, if you quit Eclipse and relaunch, when NBFind begins to run you get the attached screenshot "Can't create the view" error message, even though you may have several other devices on the network. None of the other devices are visible, and it's impossible to rescan. Perhaps NBFind should truncate long AppNames and add a "..."?

I would look at it as a limitation rather than a bug ;-))

Agreed, but when Eclipse suddenly can't find any targets when they all worked fine a day earlier, it can make you wonder what the heck is going on...

This is probably how you tell a software guy from a hardware guy! :lol:
