These settings objects could be created in a constructor/destructor
so we should catch the exception since those are noexcept.
Also change the settings trace to match the other kicad traces
as KICAD_SETTINGS
This exception will probably never be thrown in real life,
but the constructors are normally noexcept, so throwing
any exception from the json library causes Coverity to
have a fit.
Better fix than a0df876d
For new users, if this folder does not exist, saving colors does not work,
because if this folder does not exist, it is not created.
The fix convert all std::string storing a path to wxString (unicode support)
wxString were already used at many place to store paths, but not all.
For internal calculations mixing char strings and wide char strings is a recipe
for bug: any missing conversion between UTF8 and wxString breaks paths.
- Prevent crash on project tree for "Empty project" item
- Correctly handle loading of legacy projects in tree view
- Fix an issue where legacy projects would not get saved

Various architecture upgrades to support this.
Creating a BOARD now requires a valid PROJECT, which caused
