Hi all and Wayne, Since the addition of SCH_PLUGIN, enumerating all symbols (done by the component selector) has become dog slow on Windows and macOS. I've tracked this down to the excursion from an alias list to a list of strings and back to an alias list, because the only functions SCH_PLUGIN provides to access the aliases are by name.
This is why the component selector now takes literally five seconds to appear on Windows. I have a patch in progress that adds parallels to these API functions that directly populate a list of LIB_ALIASes rather than their names. I'm in the process of testing it on all three platforms. It is a fairly minor addition, but I don't want to touch SCH_PLUGIN without permission since Wayne is working on it. Wayne, are you okay with a patch that adds SCH_LEGACY_PLUGIN:: EnumerateSymbolLib( std::vector<LIB_ALIAS*>&, ... )? This is the only place it touches the plugin API, plus a couple places in PART_LIB and several in the component chooser. -- Chris _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~kicad-developers Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~kicad-developers More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
