A) I don't find alias support to be particularly valuable, especially in the presence of good library browsing capability.
I actually like it a lot, since I can skip a rename (i.e. 1N4004 alias for DIODE). Any other kind of indirection, or sharing would be likely useful if aliasing were considered too 'primitive'.
B) EESCHEMA's library browser needs to be strong.
At least for picking a part to edit. Is ridiculous to use the browser and then type the name in the editor.
C) Copying is not sharing. Sharing is when a single edit affects multiple parts. There is not a significant value in "sharing" graphical symbols between part specific components, particularly if it were possible to simply copy a graphical symbol through the clipboard.
Sharing is useful for consistency IMHO.
D) Project specific library support is important, and could be the domain where symbols become part specific.
I simply classify special part when the need arise. Why make it project specific if I can use it next week on another thing? -- Lorenzo Marcantonio Logos Srl _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~kicad-developers Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~kicad-developers More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
