Wayne, sorry for replying to a 1-year old thread, but well, I finally got back to the KiCad cmdline patches...

I upleveled the patches to 3351 (current head) at http://projects.qi-hardware.com/index.php/p/eda-tools/source/tree/master/kicad-patches cmdline-{common,eeschema,pcbnew,new}.patch Some of it is hacky, some is clean. Any ideas how I could break this down or submit somewhere? Some of it also is subject to discussion - whether it's better to drive cmdline execution through the DIALOG classes and skip ShowModal(), or implement a second codepath and duplicate some code. I have taken a pragmatic approach with the current patchset, typically favoring solutions that reduce the number of lines of the patch. I currently only implement a small subset of what is available in the GUI, and will add as needed. The options and help text try to follow the GUI layout and terminology. Below is what the current patches give you. Thanks a lot for working on the wonderful KiCad and making it as useful as it is today!
