I am using Git in my KiCad development and found that I had problems with ignoring generated files. After some stuffing around I found it was supposed to be handled through configuring git to use the .bzringore file through a .gitconfig file. However, this was not working correctly with the =

[Kicad-developers] idea for post-release file manipulations

Since KiCad has been retrieving files from the internet ever since Dick's github plugin was committed, we now have at least 2 sources of files: local and those retrieved via URN (of course local files can be thought of as a URN as well).

Hi, When writing a NET file, eeschema notices if not everything is annotated, so sends the user to annotate the schematic. However, it does so by asking this question in a modal dialog box first, and _then_ opens the annotation dialog, which is quite some annoying sequence. In particular if you go

[Kicad-developers] PATCH: better annotation dialog checkbox messaging

Hi, The checkbox labels in the annotation dialog are hard to understand because they are passive voice and not very clear (What does 'Silent mode' mean ?). Also, the default for the 'Automatically close dialog' (which is false) doesn't really make sense in regluar work. So I changed it. Patch http
