Given a fictional "Project environment", it should be possible (after editing a symbol file), that the tool you just closed would then pop up some dialog: /----------------------------------------\ | Update schematics |x| |----------------------------------------| | Update schematics with new version of | | heuristic-algorithm-unit.sym | | | | hal9000.sch [x] | | sal9000.sch [x] | | | |----------------------------------------| | |Deselect all| |Select all| | OK | | \________________________________________/ -- Peter Clifton Electrical Engineering Division, Engineering Department, University of Cambridge, 9, JJ Thomson Avenue, Cambridge CB3 0FA Tel: +44 (0)7729 980173 - (No signal in the lab!) _______________________________________________ geda-dev mailing list [email protected] http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-dev
