Package: pcb
Version: 20140316-3
Severity: normal
Tags: upstream
When transferring a gschem circuit diagram to PCB, one step is to run a
pre-generated ExecuteFile command from within PCB, on a file containing a list
of ChangePinName commands.
This is not working. Individual ChangePinName commands work, but a group of
them within a command file is being ignored.
No entry is generated in the Log Window, even when an incorrect file name is
used.
After the problem was seen, a simplified PCB file containing one component was
created, along with a set of three ChangePinName commands in a .cmd file.
The ExecuteFile command was tried with and without quotes around the file name,
and with both relative and full-path filenames. Nothing worked.
One of the ChangePinName commands was copied from the .cmd file and pasted into
the PCB command execution window, and this worked correctly.
Trying an invalid command name in the PCB command window does generate a log
entry of 'no action', suggesting that 'ExecuteFile' is being recognised but not
executed.
A commented line was removed from the .cmd file, with no change in behaviour.
I have examined the PCB file before and after the attempts, using a text
editor, to determine whether this is a display problem. The file is not being
changed.
I have used the PCB package with gschem for several years.
I have always done the ExecuteFile(<pcb-name>.cmd) step in the transfer, but
have never really paid attention to whether it worked, as I never needed it to.
Most components are unaffected by it.
I therefore cannot say for sure when this problem arose, but I believe it
worked seven or eight years ago.
