[Kicad-developers] Schematic symbol chooser clarification

Hey! I just spent some time trying to "debug" a library non-issue with a EE switching from Altium for a test. He had added the libraries correctly, and they showed up. But everytime he tried adding a symbol to the schematic, no symbols was there. We sent pictures back and forth, and indeed

Interesting, I will have to boot up my windows machine and see if I have the same result. Thanks for testing! Jon On Feb 5, 2018 04:56, "jp charras" wrote: > Le 04/02/2018 à 22:44, Jon Evans a écrit : > > As JP has noted, the "sort layers by X2 attributes" feature is

Re: [Kicad-developers] Schematic symbol chooser clarification

Yeah, that to adds to the confusion. I think maybe coherency should be one of the main goal for v6. On 2018-02-05 13:25, Marco Ciampa wrote: On Mon, Feb 05, 2018 at 01:10:08PM +0100, kristoffer Ödmark wrote: Hey! I just spent some time trying to "debug" a library non-issue with a EE

Re: [Kicad-developers] [PATCH] Add a menu item to save a project under a new name.

Yeah, I realized this after a sent the patch in, though I think it also calls into question the logic behind the archive project function. Though I am surprised about the sub directory files problem. I do think it's an important feature to have though, so any help from anyone would be

Good talk. Wayne mentioned a significant contribution from Digi-Key, Is this one of those secret contributions or can you tell us how big the check was? John Eaton ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~kicad-developers Post to :

Re: [Kicad-developers] Schematic symbol chooser clarification

I can relate to this issue. It happened to me as well and I thought my library setup wasn't right. Then I found out it was showing power symbols only. +1 to make it more evident. At least changing the dialog title? Thanks, Diego On Mon, Feb 5, 2018 at 1:22 PM, kristoffer Ödmark <

I think this should be fixed before final v5.0 release! On Mon, Feb 5, 2018 at 5:22 AM kristoffer Ödmark < kristofferodmar...@gmail.com> wrote: > Yeah, that to adds to the confusion. I think maybe coherency should be > one of the main goal for v6. > > > On 2018-02-05 13:25, Marco Ciampa wrote: >

Re: [Kicad-developers] Another performance patch....

wxWidgets should return Now() which will make the checksums not match and trigger a reload. Of course what actually happens is that wxWidgets asserts. ;) New patch on the way…. Cheers, Jeff. > On 5 Feb 2018, at 21:42, Seth Hillbrand wrote: > > Jeff- > > Will

Re: [Kicad-developers] KiCad talk at FOSDEM

Adam, I was there two week ago! That's how this all came to fruition. I didn't realize you were in the area. Ironically, your name did come up in the conversation. I agree with your assessment about Digi-Key being an impressive operation but it is a bit off the beaten path in Thief River

Re: [Kicad-developers] KiCad talk at FOSDEM

It actually makes sense for Digikey to encourage development of KiCad since a lot more people would be encouraged to build gadgets and thus need components which they'd likely buy from Digikey in the US. Enable the user to build things, and they'll come buy your inventory of parts. On Mon, Feb

Re: [Kicad-developers] Another performance patch....

What happens when footprint library file is modified outside the fp-lib-table? At one point you could change the footprint library file without performing the file write through the fp-lib-table and the next time you accessed the library, it would recognize the file was modified and reload

KiCad is open source. Last thing we need is to spend resources on legalize and trademark shit we give away. On Mon, Feb 5, 2018 at 6:43 PM, Ouabache Designworks wrote: > > > On Mon, Feb 5, 2018 at 2:30 PM, Wayne Stambaugh > wrote: > >> Thank you

I am not at liberty to discuss the amount other than it was the single largest donation in KiCad's history. Cheers, Wayne On 02/05/2018 11:43 AM, Ouabache Designworks wrote: Good talk. Wayne mentioned a significant contribution from Digi-Key, Is this one of those secret contributions or

This one for Place Footprint (specifically the List All dialog found therein). On my machine it knocks the first-use time from 4s to 3s and the subsequent-use time from 2.5s to 1s. Cheers, Jeff. 0004-Performance-fixes-for-the-place-footprint-list-all-d.patch Description: Binary data

If anyone comes up to Minnesota to visit Digikey (which I highly recommend if you are ever in the area as it is an extremely impressive operation).. I'm in Minneapolis, which isn't terribly close to Digikey, but let me know and we can grab coffee or lunch or something and chat KiCad :) On Mon,
