Schematic component properties dialog: add 2 helper buttons to manage the chip name (name of the corresponding part in lib)
- a browse button to chose an other chip name
- a test button, to know if the part exists. If not existing, list the parts found when searching using a case insensitive comparison.
However to be compatible with old versions of Eeschema, when a search in library fails, a case insensitive search is made.
Therefore, this version should be compatible with sch files created by previous Eeschema versions compiled with KICAD_KEEPCASE = OFF
*) When kicad.exe closes a project, close any open KIFACEs so that they cannot
get disassociated from their true PROJECT.
*) Allow loading eeschema library editor from kicad.exe
*) Allow loading pcbnew library editor from kicad.exe
*) Rename LIB_COMPONENT to LIB_PART.
*) Add class PART_LIBS, and PART_LIB.
*) Make PART_LIBS non-global, i.e. PROJECT specific.
*) Implement "data on demand" for PART_LIBS
*) Implement "data on demand" for schematic SEARCH_STACK.
*) Use RSTRINGs to retain eeschema editor's notion of last library and part being edited.
*) Get rid of library search on every SCH_COMPONENT::Draw() call, instead use
a weak pointer.
*) Remove all chdir() calls so projects don't need to be CWD.
*) Romove APPEND support from OpenProjectFiles().
*) Make OpenProjectFiles() robust, even for creating new projects.
*) Load EESCHEMA colors in the KIWAY::OnKiwayStart() rather in window open,
and save them in the .eeschema config file, not in the project file.
*) Fix bug with wxDir() while accessing protected dirs in kicad.exe
*) Consolidate template copying into PROJECT class, not in kicad.exe source.
*) Generally untangle eeschema, making its libraries not global but rather
held in the PROJECT.
The desire is to migrate designs *away from* case independence, and to create
designs which use literally (case specific) interpreted component names. But for
backwards compatibility, you may turn OFF this option if you really must.
(Remember that with KiCad using text data files, typically you would be better
off simply doctoring those files into a case literal state with a text editor
and move forward into the brave new world of case specificity. Also, BOM
generators may not work properly when you have this option turned OFF, the xml
export's referential integrity is broken on library part name. Hence the default
is ON now, as of 29-Jan-2014.
* Move the component library save file creation and write error dialogs
into the appropriate frame object.
* Change the save component library and document definitions take an
OUTPUTFORMATTER object instead of a file name.
* Change the component alias save document definition function to take
an OUTPUTFORMATTER object instead of a file handle.
* Move the hierarchical label connected test into the NETLIST_OBJECT class.
* ERC pin type strings can now be translated.
* Remove unused EDA_DRAW_PANEL attribute from all ERC test functions.
* Add get marker count method to SCH_SCREENS object.
* Redundant header removal.
* Lots of coding style policy fixes.
* Disable save library command when user does not have permission to write
the active library.
* Append the active library file name displayed in the title bar with read
only when the user does not have write permission.
* Test the selected folder permissions when user chooses the save library
as command.
* The obligatory coding style policy fixes.
* Use C++ map in component library instead of boost::ptr_vector.
* Drop Boost pointer containers for standard C++ containers.
* Moved duplicate name user interface elements from library object to
library editor.
* Added code to support direct addition and replacement of component
alias objects into libraries.
* Removed temporary strings used to add and remove alias objects.
* Libraries only store alias objects, components now accessed thru alias.
* Simplify library API for adding, removing, and replacing components.
* Updated edit component in library dialog and library editor to reflect
component library object changes.
* Fixed bug in library viewer when displaying alias name.
* Made a few header files compile stand alone per the new coding policy.
* Remove some dead code and the usual code formatting fixes.
* Replace EESchema sheet properties dialog with wxFormBuilder version.
* Editing an existing sheet now marks schematic as modified.
* Code style updates for some of my previous work.
* Improvements to the CMP_LIB_ENTRY object.
* Replaced symbol edit export fprintf code with wxFFile implementation.
* GCC compiler warning fix in pcbnew/drc.cpp.
* Replace component library editor new component dialog using wxFormBuilder.
* Rename component library draw items to conform to current coding standards.
* Add GetWidth() method to component library draw objects.
* Add regular expression key word search capability to component library object.
* Component library objects renamed for improved readability.
* Fields now move when selected in library editor.
* Add copy constructor to all library draw and library component objects.
* Added copy constructor to EDA_BaseStruct.
* Delete base screen in WinEDA_DrawFrame destructor to prevent potential memory leak.
* Fixed memory access bug when replacing and adding a component to library.
* Moved library component block manipulation code into component object.
* Removed all of the global variables used by the library editor main window object.
* The usual code cleaning and refactoring.
* Create static component library methods to manage library list.
* Rename component library, component, and alias objects to more readable name.
* Use pointer to component instead of root name to prevent redundant library searches.
* Add append message helper to message panel that calculates string length.
* Initial ground work for merging library and library document files.
* Improved component library file load error checking.
* Minor component library editor improvements.
* Add offset and block hit testing to library component objects.
* Improved search for library entries.
* Fixed library component editor component removal and addition.
* Library editor now uses wxUpdateUIEvents for updating all UI objects.
* Added version check to cmake find boost macro.
* Removed unused code in file libalias.cpp.
* Added method to WinEDA_DrawPanel to take mouse out of managed mode.
* Replaced WinEDAListBox buttons with wxStdDialogButtonSizer.
* Moved library draw entries GenCopy method to base class.
* Remove priorque.cpp and priorque.h from CMakeLists.txt.
* The usual code cleaning and uncrustification.
Moved all library entry manipulation code scattered throughout EESchema into
the component library object itself. Adding, removing, and searching is now
handled by the library object. This is the precursor to replacing the current
priority queue code.
