Re: [Kicad-developers] Inconsistency within l10n strings
Single quotes are much easier to read in the code (because they don’t require escaping). But, yeah, it would be nice to standardise on a single approach.

I do not know but perhaps rules are different in different countries? For example single ' quote mark is never used in Italian so I always convert them into a double " quote. If not then yes you are right. And I suggest to use always double " quote chars. -- Saluton, Marco Ciampa ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~kicad-developers Post to : kicad-developers@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~kicad-developers More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
[Kicad-developers] Inconsistency within l10n strings
Hi, I'm not sure if there are any written rules for creating l10n strings within the source code. But one thing that I see quite often is changing the escape sequence for variables like %s or %d. So for example the string Could not load footprint "%s" from library "%s". is now changed to Could not load footprint '%s' from library '%s'. A few months back it was changed to the now again changed style. This forward and backward makes translation work a bit tedious. Both variants seen above are common in current generated .po files, but most of the variables are inside double quotes. Wouldn't it make sense to write up all these strings based on the same rules? -- Regards Carsten Schoenert ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~kicad-developers Post to : kicad-developers@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~kicad-developers More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

[Kicad-developers] Altium board importer
For those of you who haven't heard, the Altium board importer[1] was merged into the master branch. It should be available in nightly builds now or in the very near future. If you have Altium boards, please test the new importer. Pcbnew must be run in stand alone mode to import Altium boards at the moment. At some point in the future, support for importing Altium schematics and eventually Altium project import will be implemented. Many thanks to Thomas Pointhuber for all of his hard work in coding this great new feature.
