Definitely not. Applications should not use this kind of blackmail to enforce whatever work-flow the developers think is "good practice". In particular, it should not allow to move on and fail long time after the supposes sloppyness happened. The purpose of default settings is to provide a reasonable working environment without user interaction. Settings that predictably make DRC fail kind of defeat this purpose. ---<)kaimartin(>--- -- Kai-Martin Knaak Öffentlicher PGP-Schlüssel: http://pgp.mit.edu:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0x6C0B9F53 _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list [email protected] http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
