Hi Martin,

What I had in mind is not having to open the gem tool at all, but having
a direct menu selection for loading a local gem, which has been built
into the pkg directory.
The "Install Local" button is not displayed until all remote gems are
found. This takes quite a long time, when you know you only want to work
with a local built gem.
For example, right click project and add menu option "Load Local gem" or
"Load Built Gem" under "Clean and Build Gem"
"Clean and Build Gem" does not load the gem into the gem repository if
it is required for immediate use.

Hope I am not missing something here,

Thanks
Paul Fraser
