This is fixed in GIT now, unknown options just print a harmless warning, and all .gsch2pcb content (including comments) is now preserved when saving from xgsch2pcb. http://git.gpleda.org/?p=xgsch2pcb.git;a=summary git clone git://git.gpleda.org/xgsch2pcb.git The ability to edit the various options is still not added, but I did make a start on the options dialog: http://www2.eng.cam.ac.uk/~pcjc2/geda/xgsch2pcb_options1.png http://www2.eng.cam.ac.uk/~pcjc2/geda/xgsch2pcb_options2.png I need to devise a suitable UI for picking and viewing search paths though, and code the backend to the dialog. > There does not seem to be a man page or some > helpful output with the option "-?". No one wrote this feature yet, nor a man page. Since xgsch2pcb is targeted towards being a GUI tool for those uncomfortable with the command line, it hasn't been a great priority. This said, I use xgsch2pcb for my work, and I'm quite happy with a command line. -- 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-user mailing list [email protected] http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
