They don't define a KiCad string class, so the header file name was
somewhat misleading. But the fact that they didn't match definitely
made coding more difficult.
CHANGED: Settings are now stored in versioned sub-directories
ADDED: First-run dialog for migrating settings from a previous version
CHANGED: Settings are now stored as JSON files instead of wxConfig-style INI files
CHANGED: Color settings are now all stored in a separate settings file
CHANGED: The symbol editor and footprint editor now have their own settings files
CHANGED: Color settings are no longer exposed through BOARD object
CHANGED: Page layout editor now uses Eeschema's color scheme
Settings are now managed through a central SETTINGS_MANAGER held by PGM_BASE.
Existing settings will be migrated from the wxConfig format on first run of each application.
Per-application settings are now stored in one class for each application.
Delete the copy ctor and assignment operator to start with, but
even then the separate apps each have their own statically allocated
copy of the common actions. So we need to update all of them, which
also means having the kicad manager frame's set of actions on hand).
This changelist also adds a Clear Hotkey Assignment function since
the hotkeys set is now likely to be sparse with respect to the
actions.
Two issues:
* Unassigned hotkeys were being passed to WX in the menu strings as
"<unassigned>". WX doesn't recognise this, and prints debug each time.
Unassigned hotkeys are no longer rare or naughty, so we shouldn't provoke
debug spew. Suppress by not appending hotkey strings for actions with 0
(i.e. unassigned) hotkey IDs.
* The zone cutout tool uses GR_KB_SHIFT, not MD_SHIFT. This causes
"unknown hotkey" spew from WX.
wxString constructor will determine string length using strlen() when it
is not explicitly specified, but there is no termination byte added when
reading file contents to 'buffer' variable.
Use the wxWidgets official accelerator key string for WXK_BACK (this is "Back") in menuitems instead of "BkSp"
Also when reading the hotkey config file, avoid to set a hotkey to unassigned when its name is not found in list.
The default value is used.
Unassigned hotkey use <unassigned> as key name (and 0 as key code) in file.
On Linux (GTK?) the accelerator key BkSp, when used in menus must be coded as "\t\b" and not "\tBkSp".
However, On Windows, it must be "\tBkSp".
Joys of multi-platform development.
Hotkey options have shifted some options from context-specific to global
hotkeys. This causes conflicts with old hotkey definitions. Instead,
we keep the v5 eeschema/pcbnew hotkeys completely separate. Users can
still import their custom hotkey files from v4.
Fixes: lp:1778408
* https://bugs.launchpad.net/kicad/+bug/1778408
Unifies the different sections of hotkeys so that we are not storing two
[eeschema] or [pcbnew] sections in two different files.
Previous hotkey definitions are loaded at start if they exist but are
overwritten by the new format, if it exists. Changes to hotkeys save
only in the combined format.
Hotkey editor for each application only shows the hotkeys relevant to
that application.
Fixes: lp:1741757
* https://bugs.launchpad.net/kicad/+bug/1741757
Fixes: lp:1668799
* https://bugs.launchpad.net/kicad/+bug/1668799
This reverts the hotkeys file format to a human readable and VCS
compatible listing by splitting individual hotkey assignments onto
separate lines instead of the single key. This unifies the hotkey format
between the application configuration and export Hotkey routines.
Both hotkey formats remain readable by the same routines.
Fixes: lp:1738875
This patch saves hotkeys to default file when a hotkeys file is
imported, so they remain persistent in future sessions.
Also, a few minor tidy ups (e.g. c++11 nullptr) internal to
common/hotkeys_basic.cpp.
* Rename Eda_FileSelector to EDA_FILE_SELECTOR.
* Add optional pointer to wxString to save the most recently used path to EDA_FILE_SELECTOR.
* Rename Eda_DirectorySelector to EDA_PATH_SELECTOR.
* Replace wxGetCwd() with wxStandardPaths::GetDocumentsDir(). This fixes the windows issue
where wxGetCwd() returns the path where the executable files are located.
* Add code to handle most recently used path to EDA_BASE_FRAME.
* Fix string formatting error in kicad/files-io.cpp.
* Remove setting and restoring current working directory when launching GerbView. Setting the CWD
has no effect on the launched executable which starts with it's own CWD.
* Allow project path to be passed to GerbView when launched from KiCad.
* Note: this is a work in progress. Do not expect every path and/or file selection dialog to properly
update the most recently used path. The correct solution to this problem requires a much more
well though out solution which will not happen until after the next stable release.
* If a hotkey is set to "unassigned" (typically by causing a conflict), it
is not loaded correctly. The loader interprets "unassigned" as "keep the
default assignment", which leads to a conflict later that causes an
assertion failure.
