Jon Evans e59a3d981e Implement a new settings framework across all of KiCad
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.

Jeff Young e6d5110ccf Implement I18N for ACTIONs.
It's a bit of a hack because they're statically initialized and
so we can't make use of the _() macro.  We do still want it in the
code, however, because the string harvesting is based off of it.

Seth Hillbrand 06d2170501 Fix default User Template location
When we assign a string to the wxFilename, it takes the last section as
the filename (unless there is a trailing '/').  So on Linux, we got
/home/user for the Documents dir and /home/ was the directory while
'user' was the filename.  Appending directories 'kicad/templates' made
the final directory '/home/kicad/templates'.  Forcing this to be a
directory restores correct behavior.

Seth Hillbrand e8333633fe GAL: Add antialiasing options to Cairo
Cairo supports antialiasing when rendering but can be slow when set to
sub-pixel mode.  This bumps the minimum version of Cairo to 1.12
(available in 14.04 LTS as well as mingw) to support three antialias
settings (fast, good, best) that offer speed/appearance tradeoffs.

This can provide a higher-quality eeschema render as it works on a
per-element basis as opposed to the OpenGL per-screen antialias.

jean-pierre charras de793aa43d Fix a side effect of our LOCALE_IO by using setlocale( LC_NUMERIC, "C" ) instead of setlocale( LC_ALL, "C" )
LC_NUMERIC is the right option to use in LOCALE_IO because only the floating point separator must be modified
When using LC_ALL, the Env var expansion wxGetEnv() was not working when the env var contains non ascii7 codes after a call to LOCALE_IO.
When using setlocale( LC_NUMERIC, "C" ) in LOCALE_IO, wxGetEnv() works fine.

Maciej Suminski f10aa6c857 Use paths relative to the executable on Windows
Paths based on DEFAULT_INSTALL_PATH do not work on Windows,
as in fact there is no default install path, as in case of Unix-based
systems. In such case, the initial paths point to mingw subdirectories
that normally do not exist on user machines.

The patch changes the initial path values to make them relative to
the executable and follow the current Windows installer scheme.

Wayne Stambaugh 5678a166ee Fix template path bugs.
Remove KICAD_PTEMPLATE environment variable as it's purpose was not
clear and was often poorly defined as the path to the KiCad installed
templates.

Add a new KICAD_TEMPLATE_DIR environment variable which clearly should
be the path of the KiCad installed templates.  Make this environment
variable available in the user settings in case the default is wrong
which has been the case in some instances.  Use the standard search
stack to set the default system template path which has a much greater
chance of being correct.

Add a new KICAD_USER_TEMPLATE_DIR environment variable which clearly
should be the path of the user defined templates.  Users most likely
were not even aware of the old default user path unless they read the
fine manual.

Set template path search stack priority as follows:

* KICAD_USER_TEMPLATE_DIR
* KICAD_TEMPLATE_DIR
* Search stack template paths

Reverse template selection dialog and project path dialog for improved
user experience.

John Beard ece7eeb280 Move SystemDirsAppend to own header
This function is called only from three sites, it doesn't need to be in
common.h.

The implementation was already in systemdirsappend.cpp, so a matching

This reduces the visibility of the function to only the files that need
it and slightly shrinks common.h.

John Beard 27374c0aa3 Move file locking utilities to a separate file

The GetKicadLockFilePath function is used in only two places, and one of
them is LockFile.

This commit puts them both in a separate header, so they're only visible
to code using them.

The implementation of GetKicadLockFilePath is moved to lockfile.cpp,
where LockFile already was.

Also removed a (large) handful of wxT macros, which aren't needed any
more and make code less readable.

   exception translation.
*) Move the test for SWIG tool into top level CMakeLists.txt file for use
   in all python modules beyond pcbnew, i.e. eeschema and common.
*) Add SWIG_MODULE_pcbnew_EXTRA_DEPS which generates a better Makefile, one
   which rebuilds the swig generated *.cxx file when one of its dependencies
   change.
*) Re-architect the board.i file so that it can be split into multiple *.i
   files easily.
*) Make some KIWAY from python progress, in preparation for Modular KiCad

dwilches 1c19699a7c Fix Preferred Editor dialog (lp: 1558353)
The functions involved in the problem were PGM_BASE::GetEditorName and
EDA_BASE_FRAME::OnSelectPreferredEditor:

1) OnSelectPreferredEditor showed a dialog to allow the user selecting the
editor, but before that called GetEditorName to get the name of the current
editor (to show as a default in the choose file dialog).

2) The problem was when there was no editor, GetEditorName showed its own
dialog.

3) So the user was seeing first the dialog from (2) and then the dialog from
(1).

4) As GetEditorName is used in many other places the solution I did was to add
to it an optional parameter that tells it what to do if no editor is set. To
avoid modifying other code that relies on the current behaviour, this parameter
has a default value that causes to show the dialog. But now when
OnSelectPreferredEditor calls it, it passes the parameter that causes it to
return an empty string if no editor was set.

5) Also, I found a second bug while doing it which allowed in the first dialog
to select an unexistent file (the dialog was missing the wxFD_FILE_MUST_EXIST
flag).

6) Lastly, to avoid having duplicated code (the one that showed the same dialog
and that configured the wildcard was in two methods) I created a single
function that now both functions call: PGM_BASE::AskUserForPreferredEditor.
This way we also will have consistency in the behaviour of both dialogs and
there is a single place where it needs to be modified.

* 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.

jean-pierre charras e5e388f2b4 Help files: can now be html or pdf files: Kicad search first for a .html help file, and if not found in a path, search for the corresponding .pdf file.
Therefore our .pdf files can be replaced at any time  by .html corresponding files in kicad doc/help sub directories.

jean-pierre charras d8c3ccb424 Pcbnew, Eeschema: release lock file when these editors are closed (Until now, the lock file was released when the full Kicad application was closed, not when the editor was closed).
Should fix Bug #1360470  and Bug #1359502 .

Dick Hollenbeck 7e483f69bd Modular KiCad Blueprint Milestone B), major portions:
*) 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.

Dick Hollenbeck 991926d320 Modular-Kicad milestone B), major portions:
*) Rework the set language support, simplify it by using KIWAY.  Now any major
   frame with a "change language" menu can change the language for all KIWAY_PLAYERs
   in the whole KIWAY.  Multiple KIWAYs are not supported yet.

*) Simplify "modal wxFrame" support, and add that support exclusively to
   KIWAY_PLAYER where it is inherited by all derivatives.  The function
   KIWAY_PLAYER::ShowModal() is in the vtable and so is cross module capable.

*) Remove the requirements and assumptions that the wxFrame hierarchy always
   had PCB_EDIT_FRAME and SCH_EDIT_FRAME as immediate parents of their viewers
   and editors. This is no longer the case, nor required.

*) Use KIWAY::Player() everywhere to make KIWAY_PLAYERs, this registers the
   KIWAY_PLAYER within the KIWAY and makes it very easy to find an open frame
   quickly.  It also gives control to the KIWAY as to frame hierarchical
   relationships.

*) Change single_top to use the KIWAY for loading a KIFACE and instantiating
   the single KIWAY_PLAYER, see bullet immediately above.

*) Add KIWAY::OnKiwayEnd() and call it from PGM_BASE at program termination, this
   gives the KIFACEs a chance to save their final configuration dope to disk.

*) Add dedicated FRAME_T's for the modal frames, so m_Ident can be tested and
   these modal frames are distinctly different than their non-modal equivalents.
   KIWAY_PLAYER::IsModal() is !not! a valid test during the wxFrame's constructor,
   so this is another important reason for having a dedicated FRAME_T for each
   modal wxFrame.

On balance, more lines were deleted than were added to achieve all this.

Dick Hollenbeck 2c67c3ff80 * 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.
