Re: [Kicad-developers] File format version increment

2017-09-21 Thread Nox
Would not "automatic file version switching" result into even stranger situations? i.e. that users of "newer" kicad version would generate files which are sometimes compatible and sometimes not without "obvious" reason? What normally is done is offering users to save as an older fileversion.

t editors do when you replace in multiple files -- they warn the user that the change cannot be undone, and sometimes leave the files/sheets in an "unsaved" state so there is actually a way to undo it for certain files (i.e. by closing them without saving) -Jon On Tue, Apr 18, 2017 at 7:46 AM

I know that I already suggested that in another context but what about changing the undo/redo semantic to the more common approach to maintain an global undo/redo stack and switch the view accordingly? I know that the "per screen" is the established way in kicad and that it is very dangerous

From a user point of perspective I would claim that the issue only raises because there is the possibility to make pins invisible. Maybe someone can explain to me the semantically need of invisible pins in general (beside the fact that kicad needs it to solve n pads: 1 pin and global label
