Hi Steve Meier, You have quite a good list of valuable features for the guile api.
For a while, I have been thinking of doing the following: Add several user configurable "Script buttons" in the gschem window icon menu bar, such that the user can configure gafrc to define the "button label" and the pathname of the script each button would execute. In order not to limit the script to scheme only, but also support other popular script such as python, perl, ruby, bash, cint, etc., any script with a sha-bang (#!) would be supported either directly or indirectly. A way to pass the current schematic/sym filename to the script is needed so that the script can make use of it with ease. I wonder if you already have something similar to the above in your plan. If not, do you think if something like that would be useful for gEDA users in general?

Where would the answers have to come from? pin, device, net? ________________________________________________________________________ Check Out the new free AIM(R) Mail -- Unlimited storage and industry-leading spam and email virus protection. _______________________________________________ geda-dev mailing list [email protected] http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-dev
