I get multiple warnings "unknown flag `polygonholemode'" if I open a new file with the old pcb. I assume, these are benign. > I've now rebased my usual branches on top of this (mainly required work > for the "pour" object branches), I just refetched the before_pours branch. It compiled and installed just fine. First notes: * You moved zoom to [ctrl-wheel]. I know, that this is in line with the way other major gnome applications like inkscape handle zoom. However, gschem and gerbv zoom with no modifier by default. I'd strongly vote for a consistent behaviour across geda applications. * The addition of the new hole tool moves the other icons downstream to unfamiliar positions. It takes time to get used to this change. From a user perspective, the hole tool is more like a seldom used special mode of the polygon tool. A permanent button adds to the visual clutter. As more tools emerge, this will get worse. Other CAD applications have elaborate ways to choose between literally hundreds of tools. A simple means would be to allow for modifier-click on the button. * The side pane wastes precious screen space on my box. About 8mm of horizontal space are just filled with grey background. See the screenshot http://bibo.iqo.uni-hannover.de/tmp/Screenshot-PCB-before_pours.png This is not special with your branch. I get the same with pcb-head.
