Default to rescan advertising for new components
If the advertising information contained in your files might change during the
development process, mark this to scan the advertising information and update the
installation every time you compile. The scan options in the Advertising Setting
field above only read the advertising information that's present in the file when you

compile check box on the Component Details dialog box can override this setting
for individual components.
