Hi, Currently, the footprint filter strings in a component match a footprint if they occur *anywhere* in the footprint's name. This leads to some possibly unintentional matches - for example, "R" has a filter "R_*", which matches literally every footprint with R_ somewhere in its name. This is quite a lot of footprints that are NOT resistors.
What if I changed this to require matching at the beginning of the string? A filter meant to match anywhere in the string could be written "*R_*" instead. This should significantly reduce the number of false positive matches. -- 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
