I'm getting a bit of strangeness with the automatic layer selection and
pcbnew --plot=gerber:
When I plot my atben project [1] "manually" from pcbnew, the Gerber
files are named
atben-Back.gbl atben-Comments.gbr atben-Front.gtl
atben-Mask_Back.gbs atben-Mask_Front.gts atben-PCB_Edges.gbr
atben-SilkS_Front.gto atben-SoldP_Front.gtp
I never investigated what the last letter in the extension meant, but
the second one seem to consistently indicate front ("top") or back.
Now, with pcbnew --plot=gerber --fill-all-zones -l I get these strange
extensions:
atben-Back.gbr atben-Comments.gbr atben-Front.gba
atben-Mask_Back.gts atben-Mask_Front.gbr atben-PCB_Edges.gbr
atben-SilkS_Front.gbs atben-SoldP_Front.gbo
If I specify the layers explicitly with -l, I get the "normal" result
again: pcbnew --plot=gerber \
-l `pcbnew --list-layers atben.brd | tr '\012' ,` \
--fill-all-zones atben.brd
atben-Back.gbl atben-Comments.gbr atben-Front.gtl
atben-Mask_Back.gbs atben-Mask_Front.gts atben-PCB_Edges.gbr
atben-SilkS_Front.gto atben-SoldP_Front.gtp
If the default worked too, this already wonderful defense against
unpleasant surprises would be even less surprising :)
