Empty project path is a valid case when eeschema is executed in
standalone mode without any file loaded.
There were no observed harmful consequences of running eeschema without
the project path set, but to stay safe the project specific
sym-lib-table load code is executed only when the project path is set.
In the scenario described in the bug report, the SCH_SCREEN current item
pointer stores an address of a stale object that had been deleted when
the symbol was reloaded. To prevent the crash, the current item pointer
is reset whenever a symbol is loaded.

Button "Toggle the search tree" from left toolbar of Symbol Library
Editor does not show actual state of visibility of the search tree
panel. State of this button (checked or unchecked) changes on clicking
only. Toggling panel visibility from menu does not make effect on tool
state.
Applied changes makes tool state (checkd/unchecked) synced with panel
state (shown/hidden).
It can be useful to have similar class messages grouped together so that
error messages in a larger report don't get lost among the
warning/info/action messages.
This patch allows sorting of messages for dialogs that benefit from
organization. Default behavior of reporter messages remains
unchanged by this patch.

1) Commit in-progress edits before closing preferences.
2) Handle default fields in Symbol Fields Editor.
3) Save state of checkboxes in Symbol Fields Editor.
The original algorithm picked the value from the last component having
non empty value for a given field, but the processing order was
dependent on the layout of the components in the memory. It means that
for each component, the field values could have been taken from any
unit, randomly.
The patch improves the algorithm, trying to get all values from the unit
with the lowest number and resorts to other units only when there are
field values left empty.
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.

This patch prevents fields with long text values from unreasonable
dialog resizing. It is basically commit f4eb63f8 applied to a
corresponding field editor dialog in the Symbol Editor.
Values generated by NETLIST_EXPORTER_PSPICE::GetSpiceFieldDefVal()
and the actual value that was stored in a netlist differed when a
component has multiple units.
Due to that, the Spice model editor dialog incorrectly recognized
"alternate node sequence" value as the default one and cleared it
when the dialog was closed.
Also changes Save Library and Save Library As to work off the
visible selection if there is one.
Also implements enablement for Save All Libraries.

Code fixing Spice device names (prefixing reference with a character
corresponding to the assigned device model type) that was duplicated in
a few places has been moved to a function (NETLIST_EXPORTER_PSPICE::GetSpiceDevice()).
With uninitialized COMPONENT_TREE::m_menuActive there were cases when
application logic erroneously decided to fetch the current library name
from the right click menu selection, even though there was no menu
opened, so an empty string was returned. Empty library name is
equivalent to no library loaded, therefore the save button appeared
disabled.

When a relative sheet path was not in the project path or a subfolder
within the project path, the schematic path would be empty. Set the
base path to the project path when the schematic path is no within
the project path hierarchy.
When LIB_ALIAS is renamed, it validates the new name. In case the name
typed in the field edit dialog is invalid, there was a discrepancy

Because the cache is broken, the rescue library was never created after missing library or change in lib.
This was due to the fact the symbol name inside the cache is broken, since commit a5844c9,
because all illegal chars in symbol name are replaced by '_'.
Unfortunately, in library cache, the ':' (illegal in usual libraries) is used to build the cached symbol name.
so in lib cache, symbol names were broken, making this lib useless.
this fix allows the ':' char in symbol name in lib.

The hotkey fix committed in 53b1ec81 broke non-us keyboards. Change the
hotkey help hotkey from '?' to Ctrl+F1 to prevent the hotkey list dialog
from being shown when placing a bus wire junction in Eeschema and when

framework.

Symbol/footprint library and entry have the same set of forbidden
characters with a single exception, space character. To accommodate for
this difference, LIB_ID validation and fix methods have been extended to
specify the LIB_ID type that is checked (schematic/board).
LIB_ID::HasIllegalChars() and LIB_ID::FixIllegalChars() had two different
sets of characters treated as invalid in LIB_IDs. The set has been
factored out to another function to avoid duplication.
Nets assigned by power pins are weak, meaning they are valid
as long as there is nothing else attached to such pins. This patch
checks whether there are other wires or pins attached to a power pin
before placing a global net label.

Each named power input pin in Eagle creates an implicit connection to a
net with the name of the pin (e.g. GND, VCC). It is also done for the
units (gates in Eagle nomenclature) that have not been instantiated in
the schematics.
To emulate this behaviour in KiCad:
- Placed components are checked for power input pins, so they will have
global net labels attached to create the described implicit connections.
- As the components are placed, the remaining units of the symbol are
checked for power inputs to see if they need to be instantiated together
with global net labels.
