Before, we did not actually prevent users from adding a field also named
Quantity to their symbols. This of course does not play nicely with the
assumptions that Quantity is a special column in the fields editor.
By making it a named variable, the user can safely add it to a symbol
and it will not be editable, and will also work in the fields table
editor as expected.
KICAD_MANAGER_FRAME Ctor. Two advantages:
- it is built after the splash screen is dismissed.
- if there are issues when creating the PLUGIN_CONTENT_MANAGER, this is more
easy to debug
Using a boolean argument just leads to a lot of trailing booleans in the
function calls and is not user friendly. Instead, introduce PostAction()
to send an action that runs after the coroutine (equivalent to passing
false or the default argument), and leave RunAction as the immediate
execution function.
This is purely loading in the background based and has no artificial delay.
Will be more useful once kicad.exe ends up loading more on launch immediately ;)
Right now the splash is probably visible the longest launching pcbnew standalone.
The actual splash image can be considered a placeholder
The --board-plot-params argument was never parsed so it was always ignored.
[ADDED] A '--no-protel-ext' option to allow plotting gerbers with the KiCad
file extension (gbr) instead of the Protel gerber file extensions.
(cherry picked from commit 4e79d1ecdd)
We don't really control when these are called, so best not to assume
we've finished initialization of the frame/screen/document/whatever.
Possible fix for KICAD-KY.
ADDED: The -n or --negative option for exporting negative svg or pdf plots
from kicad-cli. Example usage: kicad-cli pcb export svg -n -l B.Cu board.kicad_pcb
When editing or viewing library symbols, the files are watched for
underlying changes. If any occur, the user is either prompted to reload
(if reloading would overwrite their current edits) or the file is
silently updated to the current version on disk.
This also sets a custom assertion handler to avoid unneeded crashes when
recieving invalid SAMBA packets and turns off assertions entirely when
running in release (non-debug) mode
Temporary and autosave files do not neccessarily have the correct
permissions set to replace existing project files. This updates the
permissions to match the existing values where possible
Fixes https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/-/issues/13574
This library is meant to move non-EDA items (language extensions,
library extensions, etc.) into the lowest-level of our dependency chain.
This library should never depend on anyother non-thirdparty code in the
kicad codebase.
- remove --separate-files duplicate option
- change --units to --excellon-units (valid only for Excellon) and default to mm
- Gerber resolution: 5 -> 6 (default must be always the higher resolution)
Fixes#14454https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/issues/14454
The simulator has advanced considerably, and it is seeing lots of active
development, so make it a required part of KiCad. Additionally, the
build without the simulator has actually been broken for a while, so no
one clearly is building without ngspice right now.
