Lajos, The component/module search task is on my to do list. Like most things in KiCad, there are more things to do than people to do them. > > Is this an active task? Is anyone working on it already? I've have not done any work on this so it is not an active task. I did however lay the ground work by adding searching capability to the CMP_LIBRARY class. The function SearchEntryNames() is used to search for components in a library. There are two versions of this function. One does simple string comparisons and the other does regular expression comparisons. The regular expression version is untested. I am not sure if the same search code exists in the module library class. If it does, I didn't write. > > If this is not started yet, can I get some information on what you > guys envisioned so I can take a stab at it? I was thinking about adding a filter button and filter string combobox control to the component/module list dialog along with the usual persistence mechanisms to save and load the last few filter entries. At some point this may be made completely irrelevant when the new file formats are implemented as Dick mentioned.
