That's not a deal breaker for me. To me gerbv is a viewer, for analyzing gerber files. The need to manually repackage files, should I ever have a need to write a file, would not be a barrier. -- Developer Access Program for Intel Xeon Phi Processors Access to Intel Xeon Phi processor-based developer platforms.

Looks good, thanks for the idea. Only drawback: we could then read archives we cannot write back to.

Are you or (anyone else) interested in a set of 21 patches from 2009 that implements zip file reading? I implemented it and never got around in merging them. A lot of water under the bridge makes it hellish to merge, though I have tried a couple of times. Now it is rotting away on my hard drive waiting for someone with more time at hand. The patches are available (as a zip file !) at the feature request on sf.net: https://sourceforge.net/p/gerbv/feature-requests/65/ I apologize to Sergey for setting him responsible for this feature request. Tried to set to None, but that didn't work.

My data is not packed yet when I want to view it using gerbv because I am creating pcbs (not manufacturing). Divide and conquer: - Let gerbv handle a set of files (preferably in a directory). - Let packers handle how to wrap a set of files into one file.

It has some fallback logic for them, but doesn't "officially" want to support them - which I think is understandable, as it would need to handle separate aperture files then (and probably need much more guesswork about the actual format as well). > > so this magic should obviously > > be able to also recognize .gvp files. > > gvp files are marked at the start so should be very easy to recognize them Yes, I know. -- cheers, Joerg .-.-. --... ...-- -.. .

I regularly send .7z files (or tar.7z), and all are well recognized and processed by the automatic web demo/preview of online services. 7zip is far better than zip and is open and cross-platform as well. so hope recognition of .7z files too ;-) thank you, Valerio -- Check out the vibrant tech community on one of the world's most engaging tech sites, SlashDot.org! http://sdm.link/slashdot ___ Gerbv-devel mailing list Gerbv-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/gerbv-devel

I'll see what I can do. :-) And if you find a gerbv project file in there, please load that too.

That's been on my list already. :) There's some automagic for recognizing Gerber vs. RS-274-X, so this magic should obviously be able to also recognize .gvp files. -- cheers, Joerg .-.-. --... ...-- -.. .
