[Kicad-developers] OS X Menu Icons, Boost, Symlinkery

Menu icons: So, maybe I missed something and someone resolved the issue, but I just built KiCad with the USE_MENU_ICONS turned on and it works flawlessly and looks great. I don't understand why it is off for OS X, I could not find any issue and indeed, the menu icons really improve everything

[Kicad-developers] Perspective from a Production Environment

Can anyone explain why menu icons are enabled on all platforms except OS X? I've looked through the menuhelper.h code and the CMake build files, and all I can find is reference to it being disabled on OS X by default, but the reason why is not given anywhere I can find. I've been using KiCad

Re: [Kicad-developers] Signing the Mac builds

Code signing is a pain, though having read the official apple docs, I'd interpret signing as taking responsibility rather than ownership. This ultimately amounts to whose developer certificates get revoked if you're creating malware, so it's a non issue for KiCad. I'd very much equate it to

Re: [Kicad-developers] Signing the Mac builds

Critical typo: the line "but it's not claiming ownership except if that specific binary - as in, their machine compiled it." should read "except of that specific binary", not "if". Very much changes the meaning. Whoops. > On Oct 7, 2015, at 5:16 AM, Collin

This same behavior occurs on my OS X box as well. It also has coordinate transformation issues if you try to lower the size of the window. Here, rather than try and describe it, here is a gif (frame rate is low in the gif, it is not choppy in reality): https://metacollin.com/resize.gif I

Re: [Kicad-developers] 3D-Viewer - Request for merge evaluation

Antialiasing is not dependent on wx. wx doesn't actually need to support or not support it. The bug in question is that wx doesn't really ask the driver if multisampling (antialiasing) is supported the way windows wants, so it incorrectly repots that it doesn't work. However,

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

Another little OS X fix. Most, though not all, of the dialogs in KiCad that have cancel buttons break copy of text on OS X. If you highlight text (for example, the net of a pad, an operation I find myself doing fairly often) and hit 'Command-C', the dialog is closed and the text is not

[Kicad-developers] PATCH: A patch of a patch to fix 'Command-C' closing bug in OS X

Ok, this is a patch that is applied to the wxwidgets-3.0.0_macosx.patch and solves the problems with trying to copy text in most windows with a 'Cancel' or 'Close' button closing instead of copying the text. It simply prevents the various button defaults that use 'C' as a hotkey from having a

[Kicad-developers] [PATCH] wxwidgets macOS Sierra/10.12 SDK fix.

I'm in agreement as well. Windows treats the user like a child. It assumes you don't know what you're doing, and just about all of the design decisions in Windows can ultimately be traced back to the premise that the user is probably stupid. Well, not stupid, but largely
