Hi guys, no worries. To my eyes this change was similar to move the zoom icon. I learn only now that right hand side icons change the status of the mouse and horizontal icons cannot have this functionality. My knowledge of KiCad is definitely limited.
+1 for removing it. I find its use already fulfilled by the hierarchical nav dialog. cheers Fabrizio On Sat, Jun 17, 2017 at 2:41 PM, Wayne Stambaugh <[email protected]> wrote: > On 6/17/2017 8:11 AM, jp charras wrote: > > Le 17/06/2017 à 13:38, Fabrizio Tappero a écrit : > >> Hi guys, > >> I'd like to reminder that this patch is still pending.
