When aligning module centers, it can be hard to determine which item

target as the top and left most items of the Y and X centering,

When aligning in pcbnew, check for pad/module locks before performing a

When aligning on pads, don't move the pad without moving the footprint,

NEW: add new align icons based on the existing align_items.svg icon, just flipped and rotated
CHANGED: change the context menu to use the new align icons
After Eagle project import, schematic and board netlists are inconsistent:
footprints do not have sheetpaths assigned, schematics are unannotated.
One can update netlist either by references or timestamps, but timestamps
are empty in pcbnew, and updating by reference must by preceded by
annotation which may lead to broken links between board and schematics
(Eagle does not require references to end with a number, so KiCad annotater
will add numbers in such cases).
To fix the problem, there is a two step netlist update:
- update by reference without the annotation step, to assign
correct sheetpaths to footprints
- update by timestamp, after symbols are annotated, in order to
update references in the board

Track dragging forces the cursor position, which is still kept when PNS

PICKED_ITEMS_LIST knows the architecture of the undo commands so
that it can delete those ITEMs which it owns. This represents poor
encapsulation so instead of adding yet another case, I added a
UR_TRANSIENT item flag which is set by callers whenever they create
new objects to “give to” the undo/redo stack. This allowed some
cleanup of other code, but cleaning up UR_DELETE and UR_WIRE_IMAGE
will be a bigger task and have to wait for another day.

The undo/redo operations are essentially the same as for
UR_CHANGED: we store both the origin marker item and a copy
of it and flip back and forth between the two. This also
required the implementation of clone() for the markers.
The ORIGIN_VIEWMARKER is moved from being a subclass of
EDA_ITEM to BOARD_ITEM to facilitate the use of a UR_CHANGE-
like implementation without having to know the internals
of the ORIGIN_VIEWMARKER.
In the command processors, the setting of the origins is
broken into two parts: one for UI-level access which includes
setting up undo, and one for low-level access which does not.
The undo/redo code itself of course uses the lower level.

Make popup menu shown when right clicking on a DRC error item working.
Now, if not yet opened, the schematic editor frame is created, and shown iconized.
(although iconize it is perhaps not the best option)
It fixes a few (minor) issues (when the schematic editor frame is created, but not shown):
- On OSX the schematic frame is shown as a "ghost" frame.
- If later, the schematic editor is opened from Kicad, a message saying the schematic is already opened is shown.
This is technically true, but unexpected by user.
- If symbols need an annotation, the annotation dialog is opened, can can modify the schematics.
So it could be better to really open the schematic editor frame.
The calculation was made too early, before removing insulated islands.
Note: filling zones with segments is an old option, not very useful:
using only polygons has never created issues in gerber files.
The 3D viewer panel had a default size that was causing sizing issue
with the footprint properties dialog. Set the default size to -1;-1
and set the proportion setting to 1 when adding the panel to the sizer
which allows the panel to file in the correct size.
Fixed some minor control spacing issues in the footprint properties
dialog properties tab.
Please note that is only a partial fix for this issue. There is still
too much vertical space which is partially due to the use of wxSpinCtrl
instead of wxDoubleSpinCtrl.

Major cleanup of many icons (started as a simple effort to tweak libedit and modedit icons)
Ref: https://lists.launchpad.net/kicad-developers/msg32860.html
* Each application icon has been updated
* Consolidated icon "modifiers" across many icons
* Replaced confusing arrows with "load" and "save" icons
* Slight code updates to reference correct icons
* Consolidate multiple representations of single icon type(s)
This is meant as a stopgap for 5.0, with plans to add proper scaled
icons in the 6.0 cycle. A function KiScaledBitmap() is added, which
works like KiBitmap() except it scales the bitmap according to the
calling window's font size. Controls have been added to all the main
applications to let the user select scaling manually (these were omitted
from smaller apps that didn't already have a place to put them).
In addition, in eeschema only, the pixel height of the system font is
shown in the options dialog for diagnostics. This is only for collecting
feedback before 5.0 release from users with different displays and will
be removed.
In high-contrast mode, items that don't exist on the current layer are
not selectable, but this is problematic since there are library
components that only exist in the silkscreen layer (logos, etc).
By adding one of the silkscreen layers to the ViewGetLayers() output,
these components are now editable when viewing the silkscreen layer in
high-contrast mode. Silkscreens attached to footprints that have pads
or drawings on non-silkscreen layers are still not selectable.
