Re: [Kicad-developers] [PATCH] RFC: toolbar button support for action plugins

Please do not throw errors like unable to load icon to users, that is extremely annoying to users. It is the developer's responsibility to make sure the icon is loaded correctly, not the users, so users should not be bothered, since they cannot do anything about it anyway. On Thu, Aug 16, 2018 at

Re: [Kicad-developers] [PATCH] RFC: toolbar button support for action plugins

Hi Andrew- I like the idea. Aside from minor formatting (headers get 1 space between function defs, need a space before the if block), the patch looks good. However, I wouldn't want everything showing on my toolbar (speaking as someone who has 10 plugins installed, 5 of which get regular use).

Re: [Kicad-developers] [PATCH] RFC: toolbar button support for action plugins

Hi Konstantin, Thanks for feedback. I like the idea that plugin writers can opt out of showing the button on toolbar, I will add this. Ultimately user should have control over it. If all plugin writers start adding icons top toolbar will run out of space. User should be able to choose which

Hi Clemens, See sample plugin attached. Extract it into kicad's share/scripting/plugins folder. One of other scanned directories that are documented in kicadplugins.i should

Hi David- We're not generally wxWidgets support. If you are having a specific issue, there are a few people on the list who can probably help you debug it. But these sound like some pretty basic questions about working with wxWidgets. There are a number of good tutorials at

If you don't have yet fun enough with joys of multi-platform development, I can give you more. Throw in different national keyboard layouts and it gets complicated. For example, I use Finnish layout in Kubuntu. The hotkeys editor in Preferences of pcbnew shows characters } and { as bind to

Re: [Kicad-developers] [PATCH] get initial Python 3 support

I've tested the windows version with the business logic of my action plugins and I am happy to report that I've had no issues and plugins produced the same results as with python2. On Tuesday, 14 August 2018, 23:26:06 CEST, Nick Østergaard wrote: Hi Thomas, I am happy to see that

Hello, Andrew! I am somehow missing the Python example you are giving in your patch. Can you add this a simple example to the sources to get a basic/dummy skeleton working right from scratch? Regards, Clemens On 15/08/2018 11.31, Andrew Lutsenko wrote: > Hi KiCad devs, > > I am proposing

Re: [Kicad-developers] Joy of multi-platform development

Hi JP, Your menu fix for LINUX does work for OSX as well. The problem is that because it didn’t understand the hotkey *before* your fix it ends up writing 0 (“”) into the hotkeys config, so you have to have your fix *and* you have to reset your hotkeys to default. Is there any way around

Re: [Kicad-developers] [PATCH] RFC: toolbar button support for action plugins

Ok, tested this further and thought that it's silly that buttons on toolbar have icons but menu items have generic hammer. Second patch adds icons to menu and fixes compatibility with plugins that don't define icon. [image: actionmenu.png] If icon file doesn't exist or can't be loaded (wrong
