Versions specific variables that may point to objects that change
through versions, allowing multiple KiCad versions to operate correctly
(even on MSW) on the same machine.
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.
When no default library tables are found, set the default wxFilePickerCtrl
to the users configuration path instead of the current project path to
prevent any project library tables from being used as the default.
Fixes lp:1809769
https://bugs.launchpad.net/kicad/+bug/1809769
Adds Cut/Copy/Paste and Revert for footprints; introduces a new
shared Revert Changes? dialog; hooks up Add Library for footprints,
standardizes the Save As terminology.
While we already cache the loaded footprint files, parsing said files
into the list is also time-intensive. Since the FOOTPRINT_LIST is
already hash-stamped against the current timestamps of the files that
make up the list, sharing a single copy of the list is quite
straight-forward.
It's too expensive to fetch the timestamps when the github
server is busy. See Dick Hollenbeck's comments at the top of
github_plugin.cpp for more info.
Also adds some safety to the other caching algorithms after
seeing github_plugin's wild-west usage of the kicad_plugin.
Fixes: lp:1753143
* https://bugs.launchpad.net/kicad/+bug/1753143
Too many external applications fail to touch the parent directory.
Also removes FP_CACHE_ITEM lastMod times and dirty flags as we've
always loaded libraries atomically anyway.
Claws back some of the performance lost by being more efficient
with cache management for sequential calls to Enumerate and then
Load.
Fixes: lp:1750936
* https://bugs.launchpad.net/kicad/+bug/1750936
Smartens the cache freshness checking, and adds checksums of
constituent-directory last-mod-dates to the footprint info
list.
Also inserts the dataPtrs into the list at the same time as
the text to keep wxWidgets from measuring the width of the
text twice (yes, really). And converts the list to default-
column widths in case the wxWidgets patch is present to
greatly speed list creation (by not measuring all that text).
On my machine drops the first-load time from 4s to 2.5s and
the subsequent-load times from 2.5s to < 1s. With the
wxWidgets patch subsequent-loads become near-instantaneous.
- Also makes the project and file import functions filetype dependent.
- The change from IO_MGR::KICAD to IO_MGR::KICAD_SEXP removes a conflict from a compile definition for KICAD when compiling kicad/import_project.cpp
This forces the compiler class specific features rather than borrowing
from the base class's std::string. In some cases prior to this,
wxString( std::string ) was being called rather than UTF8::operator
wxString() leading to garbled wxStrings.
Added function UTF8::wx_str() which is of great convenience also.
Implicit conversions still work as before, and hopefully more reliably.
This commit was too broad and not cognizant of the purpose of the class
UTF8.
Add MAYBE_VERIFY_UTF8() macro, which can trap non-UTF8 encoded strings in
debug builds.
Use that macro conditionally in class UTF8 to trap non-UTF8 encoded strings
being put into UTF8 instances.
Fix potential memory leak in both footprint and symbol library table
parsers when a duplicate library nickname entry exists.
Parse entire symbol library table before raising duplicate nickname
exception.
Improve the duplicate library table nickname error message to make
life easier for users to fix broken tables.
Allow partial library reads in libraries that support footprint per file.
This includes the KiCad and GEDA footprint libraries.
Allow for partially cached libraries rather than ignoring all valid files
when an error occurs.
- DIALOG_CHOOSE_COMPONENT has footprint select widget
- FOOTPRINT_SELECT_WIDGET
- FOOTPRINT_CHOICE widget (customized wxComboCtrl)
- FOOTPRINT_FILTER class
- FOOTPRINT_INFO rework:
- FOOTPRINT_ASYNC_LOADER to load without freezing UI
- Rewrite loader threads as queue-driven thread pool
- Make FOOTPRINT_INFO available via kiway
- FP_LIB_TABLE::PrefetchLib
- Access to global fp-lib-table via kiway
- SYNC_QUEUE threadsafe queue template
- Remove KICAD_FOOTPRINT_SELECTOR build option
Rename FPID to LIB_ID as is now used as a generic library identifier and
is no longer specific to footprints.
Remove all mention of footprint from the new LIB_ID doxygen comments and
code.
Rename files fpid.h and fpid.cpp to lib_id.h and lib_id.cpp.
Rename fp_lib_table.keywords file to lib_table.keywords and adjust CMake
build dependencies accordingly.
Update all source files effected by the code and file name changes.
Update .gitignore for file name changes.
Derive LIB_TABLE_ROW from boost::noncopyable for use in boost pointer
containers.
Use std::unique_ptr to manage PROPERTIES pointer.
Add clone support for boost pointer containers.
Split common library table code out from FP_LIB_TABLE into base LIB_TABLE
object. The FP_LIB_TABLE object only contains the code specific to
footprint library tables.
Use boost::vector_ptr for storing library table row objects.
Fix move up and down bugs in footprint library table edit dialog.
Factor out ROW object from FP_LIB_TABLE so it can be reused to create a
symbol library table row object.
Create base LIB_TABLE_ROW object from ROW object common code.
Derived FP_LIB_TABLE_ROW object from LIB_TABLE_ROW to provide support for
footprint library table rows.
Update all instances of FP_LIB_TABLE::ROW with FP_LIB_TABLE_ROW.
Purge wxT() macros from modified files where possible.
Fix issue when using a page layout file in project folder: eeschema and Pcbnew did not use it, unless using an absolute path.
Now, if the file path is nor absolute, it is seen as relative to the project (which is the expected behavior)
fp lib wizard: when pcbnew id compiled with USE_GITHUB_PLUGIN=OFF, the github plugin option is no more accessible (and the web viewer no more used).
* Create GetNewConfig() and GetKicadConfigPath() to unify configuration file
creation and location.
* Move Windows configuration out of the registry into configuration files.
* Move Linux configuration files from $HOME to $HOME/.config/kicad to eliminate
configuration file pollution in the users $HOME folder.
* Fix a bug in the configuration file where the Eeschema hot keys are saved.
*) Implement a framework for "Data Load On Demand".
*) Implement FP_LIB_TABLE* PROJECT::PcbFootprintLibs(), which is the first
prototype.
This allows the project specific footprint tables to be part of the Module Editor
when invoked from Eeschema.
was used locally. Then comment it out in favor of a newer strategy for
filling in nicknames in cvpcb.
Add MODULE* FootprintLoadWithOptionalNickname( const FPID& aFootprintId )
throw( IO_ERROR, PARSE_ERROR );
