AFAIK this is an error, or, better, an old file. Giving the problems stated before... Last time I checked layers ID are the layer names which are free for copper ones (the first 16) and fixed in stone for the following 16. Number-to-id is specified in the beginning of the file (there is a layer form at the beginning with the table) So Cuivre is a copper name (usually copper) while Dessous.Pate Dessous.Masque are plain wrong, these should be B.Paste and B.Mask (if my french is good enough). They are recognized because they are pointing to the right 'number' thru the name in the layer form (the real layer id is the number, but in the sexp file it's always decoded thru the table). In short, it works anyway for old files. In fact if you do a 'save as' they change to the 'standard english' ones. Ah, by the way, the *. shortcuts are simply hardcoded, there is no pattern matching involved. If it isn't working that way then something changed and I'm behind with the specs. Sorry about that. -- 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
