Dear Ineiev, I recently tried the patches and they work great. It is already 50% of what I was looking for. Many thanks to Frank, they really work great and I can report the patches are still valid with the recent git-version of pcb. If I can now apply the scripting capabilities mentioned later in this thread and found here: [1]http://www.seul.org/pipermail/geda-user/2009-May/018451.html I have already nearly what I was asking for I will look how to add a third frame to the new window which claims to be a terminal or how to use the message frame as terminal. Then starting my favourite scripting language and it would become close to 100% In addition there might be some more nice features. E.g. If I select something, it would be nice if the script I use is getting the objects as an input and perform the operation only on the selected object. Or I like to be asked to select the desired object with the mouse after starting the command. Nevertheless, I guess at least for me that would be the right way to increase pcb-performance. Best regards Torsten

I think you may want to use this Frank Bergmann patch (I like it very much) [4]http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=2779826&group_id =73743&atid=538813 from PCB Sourceforge patch tracker, ID 2779826, posted 2009-04-23 19:58. > Other open source projects who utilise such a termial window use > embedded python, lua or some other scripting language which gives very > powerful scripting features. I'd like to have a wider scripting capabilities in PCB, but only if it doesn't decrease it's portability; I certainly don't want the program to have new hard dependencies. BTW, could you find the post about scripting plugin in the list archives and review it (IIRC it appeared this spring or summer)? > Furthermore, this creates a central place for all kind of messages > makes it easy for a community driven project to help by state :"If you > are going to post about a problem, please add the terminal history to > your post". I believe this typically won't help very much; there is --verbose option, but it is not used very often.
