I have a patch which makes PCB take a command line argument --library-browser or some such, where it just pops up that one dialog window (with full preview), then prints to footprint names to stdout when an item is clicked on. This was intended to interface with a proposed API in gEDA for allowing a configurable mapping between attribute names, and some kind of offer to auto-complete, or provide a selection window for possible values. Sounds like something which might be worth reviving? -- 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 geda-dev@moria.seul.org http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-dev
