2009-11-06 17:21:21 +00:00
Common
------
* Grep for @TODO or TODO for sourcecode tasks
Pcbnew NETLIST_READER improvements. * Create separate NETLIST object to hold contents of netlist files. * Read entire netlist and footprint link files before making applying changes to board. * Add BOARD::ReplaceNetlist() function to eliminate the calls between the NETLIST_READER, PCB_EDIT_FRAME, and BOARD objects. * Change placement of new components below the center of the current board or in the center of the page if the BOARD is empty. * Add dry run option to netlist dialog to print changes to message control without making changes. * Add button to netlist dialog to allow saving contents of message control to a file. * Eliminate the need to compile netlist_reader_*.cpp in both CvPcb and Pcbnew. * Add netlist_reader_*.cpp to the pcbcommon library. * Remove redundant load component link file code from CvPcb. * Modify CvPcb new to work with the new NETLIST_READER object. * Add compare() function and < and == operators to FPID object. * Add REPORTER class to hide an underlying string writing implementation for use in low level objects. Thank you Dick for the idea. * Lots of minor coding policy, Doxygen comment, and missing license fixes.
2013-04-25 16:29:35 +00:00
* Use Doxygen compatible comments on member functions (.h files)

2009-11-06 17:21:21 +00:00
* Component and module search displays in which library the
module or component lives.
* List auto up and down scrolling.
Open file dialog fixes and minor code cleaning. * Fix a minor problem with wxFileDialog to open a file that no longer exists in PCBNew. * Make GerbView open file behavior the same as PCBNew. * Remove redundant PCB file wild card definition. * Add open file refactor task to the todo list. * Fix some minor code formatting issues.
2010-05-17 20:35:46 +00:00
* Push file open semantics down to one of the base frame classes ( likely candidate is
WinEDA_BasicFrame ) so that file open behavior is consistent across all applications.

Implement wxDC coordinate handling and wxGCDC. * Implement code to allow wxDC to handle coordinate conversions between device and drawing units. * Add build settings to enable wxGCDC for wxGraphicsContext testing. * Remove wxAUI conditional build cruft as it is now required to build Kicad. * Fix scroll increment size regression to prevent jumping around the zoom center position. * Add find GDI+ cmake module for building on WXMSW when wxGraphicsContext is enabled.

Wayne:
New EESchema find dialog and other minor fixes. * Replaced find dialog with wxFormBuilder version. * New find dialog is modeless, supports more advanced search features, remembers it's last position, size, search history, and search settings, and implements initial support for replacing. * Added Shift+F5 hot key to search for next DRC marker. F5 now just repeats previous search. * Minor cosmetic enhancements to label edit dialog. * Remove tab from grid size text printf to fix toolbar grid combobox display in wxGTK. * Updated my TODO list items.
2010-03-16 18:22:59 +00:00
E3) Hook up perform last library search hot key to replace search libraries for
component support removed from find dialog.
E4) Change add component dialog search text control to combobox and add component
search history save and restore capability. Also add session save and restore
to component history list control. Add advanced search capability similar to
new find dialog.
E6) Start initial work for changing component library file format to use Dick's
dsnlexer. See note C2 above. Come up with a workable library file format to
handle the wishes of the library implementation group. Add initial clipboard
support to the library editor.

PCBNew

update
2010-01-24 02:07:40 +00:00
use the same format string in the test program as in LEGACY_PLUGIN for record keeping purposes
2012-06-25 14:44:47 +00:00
*) Make the zone hit testing be done in screen coordinates, not internal units.
See the @todos in class_zone.cpp. A fixed distance in internal units becomes
a variable distance based on zoom factor, leading to inconsistent results at
various zoom factors. I believe that a fixed distance in pixels might make
for a friendlier UI.
++PCBNew * Removed Pcb_Frame argument from BOARD() constructor, since it precludes having a BOARD being edited by more than one editor, it was a bad design. And this meant removing m_PcbFrame from BOARD. * removed BOARD::SetWindowFrame(), and BOARD::m_PcbFrame * Removed the global BOARD_DESIGN_SETTINGS which was in class_board.cpp * added BOARD_DESIGN_SETTINGS to the BOARD class, a full instance * a couple dialogs now only change BOARD_DESIGN_SETTINGS when OK is pressed, such as dialog_mask_clearance, dialog_drc, etc. * Removed common/pcbcommon.cpp's int g_CurrentVersionPCB = 1 and replaced it with build_version.h's #define BOARD_FILE_VERSION, although there may be a better place for this constant. * Made the public functions in PARAM_CFG_ARRAY be type const. void SaveParam(..) const and void ReadParam(..) const * PARAM_CFG_BASE now has virtual destructor since we have various way of destroying the derived class and boost::ptr_vector must be told about this. * Pass const PARAM_CFG_ARRAY& instead of PARAM_CFG_ARRAY so that we can use an automatic PARAM_CFG_ARRAY which is on the stack.\ * PCB_EDIT_FRAME::GetProjectFileParameters() may no longer cache the array, since it has to access the current BOARD and the BOARD can change. Remember BOARD_DESIGN_SETTINGS are now in the BOARD. * Made the m_BoundingBox member private, this was a brutally hard task, and indicative of the lack of commitment to accessors and object oriented design on the part of KiCad developers. We must do better. Added BOARD::GetBoundingBox, SetBoundingBox(), ComputeBoundingBox(). * Added PCB_BASE_FRAME::GetBoardBoundingBox() which calls BOARD::ComputeBoundingBox()

Dick's Final TODO List:
======================
* KIWAY Milestone A): Make major modules into DLL/DSOs. ! The initial testing of this commit should be done using a Debug build so that all the wxASSERT()s are enabled. Also, be sure and keep enabled the USE_KIWAY_DLLs option. The tree won't likely build without it. Turning it off is senseless anyways. If you want stable code, go back to a prior version, the one tagged with "stable". * Relocate all functionality out of the wxApp derivative into more finely targeted purposes: a) DLL/DSO specific b) PROJECT specific c) EXE or process specific d) configuration file specific data e) configuration file manipulations functions. All of this functionality was blended into an extremely large wxApp derivative and that was incompatible with the desire to support multiple concurrently loaded DLL/DSO's ("KIFACE")s and multiple concurrently open projects. An amazing amount of organization come from simply sorting each bit of functionality into the proper box. * Switch to wxConfigBase from wxConfig everywhere except instantiation. * Add classes KIWAY, KIFACE, KIFACE_I, SEARCH_STACK, PGM_BASE, PGM_KICAD, PGM_SINGLE_TOP, * Remove "Return" prefix on many function names. * Remove obvious comments from CMakeLists.txt files, and from else() and endif()s. * Fix building boost for use in a DSO on linux. * Remove some of the assumptions in the CMakeLists.txt files that windows had to be the host platform when building windows binaries. * Reduce the number of wxStrings being constructed at program load time via static construction. * Pass wxConfigBase* to all SaveSettings() and LoadSettings() functions so that these functions are useful even when the wxConfigBase comes from another source, as is the case in the KICAD_MANAGER_FRAME. * Move the setting of the KIPRJMOD environment variable into class PROJECT, so that it can be moved into a project variable soon, and out of FP_LIB_TABLE. * Add the KIWAY_PLAYER which is associated with a particular PROJECT, and all its child wxFrames and wxDialogs now have a Kiway() member function which returns a KIWAY& that that window tree branch is in support of. This is like wxWindows DNA in that child windows get this member with proper value at time of construction. * Anticipate some of the needs for milestones B) and C) and make code adjustments now in an effort to reduce work in those milestones. * No testing has been done for python scripting, since milestone C) has that being largely reworked and re-thought-out.
