Actually to completely refactorize kicad a nearly complete rewrite would be necessary... just look over all the 'switch for class type' statements around. Having done myself some refactoring I quite understand the effort needed (also IMHO refactoring is quite uninteresting work to do:P) I agree for the quite good work with the new file formats, they are very well designed. Still don't agree with the dynamic loading stuff, but that's a personal design preference:D -- 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
