Re: [Kicad-developers] KiCad Libraries (again)

Hi, TL;DR yes, please place information about new libraries, their changes and plans on this to the KiCad website! But also keep information about changed documentation or localizations here. Am 15.09.2017 um 04:01 schrieb Adam Wolf: > I really, really like the idea of having the libraries page o

Re: [Kicad-developers] [PATCH] Add background color for subsheets

Wayne, Good point. The attached patch set modifies the default sheet background to UNSPECIFIED. Regarding the ability to unset the color. Any suggestions on how best to do this? I have played around with a few options without success. The best I came up with: Add a checkbox to the color selecti

Re: [Kicad-developers] KiCad Libraries (again)

This sounds awesome to me, and helps keep KiCad cohesive. I remember when basically every KiCad site was a fan site and it was pretty hard to find anything, and we have done a great job lately and this is going to help make it even better I think! I do not think that this even technically require

Adam, Both are really good points. Here's what I propose: *Short Term:* Move the library information / license / KLC / contributing information to the website. This will also include links to download library releases (from github) *Medium Term:* Provide downloads of individual libraries, whi

Re: [Kicad-developers] KiCad Libraries (again)

I really, really like the idea of having the libraries page on the KiCad website itself. I have run into numerous people who do not understand that the github libraries are "official". Plus, this means that *for whatever reason* if the libraries move from github, the pages explaining the librarie

Ben, That's also an option, I hadn't considered that! Perhaps I was focused on the GitHub-side solution too closely. Wayne, do you want to weigh in here before I spend too much further effort developing this? Could the libraries page be developed on the KiCad website itself? The structure could

Re: [Kicad-developers] KiCad Libraries (again)

Hey Oliver, Nice work! Once this is ready to go, it is definitely something that should be added or linked to the KiCad website. Currently our users really don't have friendly resource for discovering what libraries are available for KiCad and how to get them. I consider this a big plus for our

Re: [Kicad-developers] [PATCH] Eagle schematic and project import.

The selection issues on MacOS should be fixed in wxWidgets already - at least, there is a patch around for it if it hasn’t landed in 4.0.x yet (if it ever will…). We have to use a custom wxWidgets for MacOS anyway, so this shouldn’t be a reason for not using the selector. Regards, Bernhard >

I hope there's an option to remove color as well, after color has been added. I can't remember, is text color modifiable? If not, that kind of limits the background color choices. On Thu, Sep 14, 2017 at 7:22 AM Wayne Stambaugh wrote: > Oliver, > > I just tested this patch and I like it. I wou

I wanted to ask permission to name a python script as"KiCommand". I am asking simply because that is a fairlygeneric name and I wanted to make sure there was nothing'official' that currently or is planned to have that name. I've developed a simplified command line interface that is fairly welldev

Hi Jon, Thank you for the notice, I think you are right about making the values consistent. I changed the GRID_STYLE enum to match to match the grid options map as it seemed more reasonable. I hope it will not be too disturbing for the nightly users to adjust the grid settings, but it had to be f

Oliver, I just tested this patch and I like it. I would like you to please set the default color to COLOR4D::UNSPECIFIED if possible so that no filling occurs unless the user selects a color. It is rather jarring to suddenly have all of the sheets in your schematic turn blue. It might also be n

Hi, This patch fixes the issue with scrollbars not working on macOS. The scrollbars were hidden because the GAL was rendering over the entire size of the draw_panel, not the client size (i.e. area minus scrollbar size, etc). Please give this a check on Windows/Linux to make sure it still works t
