Re: [Kicad-developers] PATCH: OS X copy/close bug fix

Why do you think they are not going to fix it? These two defects are still open and marked as “accepted defect”. They maybe won’t fix it like your patch does and yes, nobody knows when they will fix it. But it unfortunately is the same for many other OS X wxWidgets bugs… :( Until then, your

Patrick, I'm not sure your patch is necessary. Did you try adding /gvfs/sftp to your component library search list? Eeschema should be able to search any valid path in the list of library search paths for component library files. I don't know how long you've been following the dev mailing list

A standard format for the text of a given field is not the same thing as adding code to the schematic editor to edit that field. I do not want to introduce code into the schematic editor for generating formatted field text for external use. This should be done within the current field editor or

Re: [Kicad-developers] [RFC] On net ties, microwave tools & custom pad shapes, altogether.

If it's still too offensive, you could discard the naming part of my proposal and just modify the netlist format so that eeschema passes _all fields_ to pcbnew, that way the script can access them and do whatever it wants. It would enable all sorts of powerful things in the future, though it might

Re: [Kicad-developers] [RFC] On net ties, microwave tools & custom pad shapes, altogether.

It would not introduce a limitation, just a standard format that would work with pcbnew footprint generators, external scripts can run outside of kicad and use field names and values however they please. On Wed, May 11, 2016 at 10:23 AM, Wayne Stambaugh wrote: > On

The issue is because the master jenkins node doesn't support c++11. I'm wondering if we should lay out a plan to upgrade the jenkins server since it is so out of date (some of our other scripts can't run on it due to things like git being 5 or 6 years out of date). We've also started getting lots

Re: [Kicad-developers] Dump zone geometry to files when filling

I'm not proposing that we change the frame name prefixing. I only mentioned it because it's not always obvious what the config entry names are. If you were looking for "MaxUndoCount", you wont find it in any of the config files. It will always have the the frame name prefixed to it. On

Re: [Kicad-developers] Dump zone geometry to files when filling

There _is_ no config file entry, unless I'm missing something you can point me to. There was only a global bool flag in pcbnew.h that held the config value, I was not able to find any place that was recorded to disk nor do I see any evidence of it in my config files. Are you sure there is one? On

What about (ab)using the footprint field (actually the library plugin system) for this? Say you add a new library plugin called "python", each library would be a python module (either a single .py file or a folder with an __init__.py script) That module will have a callable for each "virtual"

If a setting is removed from the GUI but is still read from the config files the key name should be changed. Otherwise we'd have a situation where an unsuspecting user could (accidentally or not) set something in the UI, upgrade, and then have no way to revert to the default behavior without

Yup, I wasn't going to leave the function exactly as is. Hotkey should be pulled from config. I also don't like the way it checks whether an origin has been set. On Wed, May 11, 2016 at 09:12:36AM +0200, jp charras wrote: > Le 11/05/2016 à 00:25, Chris Pavlina a écrit : > > Ooh, I like! I'll test

Yes, the patch needs improvements to show the current shortcut if "space" was changed. Another little improvement that may be useful is to show the local coordinates origin with some kind of crosshair. On Wed, May 11, 2016 at 9:12 AM, jp charras wrote: > Le 11/05/2016 à
