[Kicad-developers] Contributing to KiCAD on windows.

I would like to know how I could contribute to kicad on windows? Is http://kicad-pcb.org the to-go page? Is it possible to compile using Visual Studio? If not, can the make system be added to VS? I like the editor and its code completion features. Where can I see what needs contributing, goals,

Re: [Kicad-developers] About collaboration, simulation, documentation, organisation, usability and documentation

Firstly I would like to point out I am not a kicad developer, but more of an interested individual on KiCADs success. When I hear that UI refinement is not necessary. I cringe. It is devoid of any logical thinking and consistency. Each and every one of the kicad programs has its own way of doing

Re: [Kicad-developers] future developments: shared libraries and dynamic plugins

Cirilo, That sounds great. IMHO this goes along hand in hand with CERN's wishes of making the different parts of kicad loadable libraries such as eeschema and pcbnew. I don't really have much programming experience to recommend an approach, but studying what already exists could help. Altium has

Re: [Kicad-developers] Have anyone used the footprint wizards on windows?

I concur with Chris. From my experience, status windows are just there for when you are interested in some output, maybe to debug your scripts but log files could serve that purpose. It does make sense to show it along a command input window or messages from a DRC check. Scripts should run in UI

Why not have it as two different tools? I think altium has it like that. On Oct 20, 2015 02:36, "tiger12506" wrote: > I shouldn't really be hijacking your thread -- but I hate the > center->start->end ordering for drawing arcs. > I think it should always be

Re: [Kicad-developers] suggested resolution (and other specs)

I'll try to be as helpful as I can. I share the opinion about having KiCad support a minimum set of hardware. I believe that one must set the bar. If those who develop the OpenGL canvas with X or Y hardware. Then that should be the tested hardware, but include that minimum require GL version,

Hello, This is my first post to the mailing list. I am a current user of Altium, and I think that OpenGL is necessary to use it. Either you have it and you can use the software, or you don't and tough luck. >From reading the mailing lists I have understood that using wxDC over OpenGL gives you
