Pcbnew: in netlist dialog: The user now can choose between the netlist and the .cmp file to import footprints names.
Therfore no need to delete the .cmp file when exists to use only the netlist.
This is useful for users who use CvPcb only once to fill footprints fields in schematic, and after edit/modify the footprints fields in schematic outside CvPcb.
Still try to find a better fix for Bug #1100876, however I am thinking the bug is not in Kicad:
looks like a buggy version of wxWidgets is used, which sends sometimes an unwanted wxCommandEvent event,
when an event::Check() is called inside a function called by a wxUpdateUIEvent event.
It could be a race condition when setting the tools state on and off in PCB_EDIT_FRAME::OnSelectAutoPlaceMode( wxCommandEvent& aEvent ) on some Linux/wxWidgets versions
(does not happen on my computer)
* Improve MSG_PANEL_ITEM to handle message panel information.
* Create containers for passing message panel items between objects and
the message panel.
* Rename EDA_ITEM::DisplayInfo to EDA_ITEM::GetMsgPanelInfo.
* Remove all direct manipulation of EDA_DRAW_FRAME from all objects derived
from EDA_ITEM.
Because now there are 2 formats, board backup files extensions are .brd-bak or .kicad_pcb-bak instead of the old .000 extension, depending on the initial file format.
* Remove internal units from BASE_SCREEN and it's derivatives.
* Remove internal units from EDA_DRAW_FRAME and it's derivatives.
* Use build time code to replace internal units conversions.
* Fix scaling bug in page layout sample window that I created in my
last commit.
* Added a dialog to select options: one or 2 files, units (mm or inch), and force INSERT option.
* code cleaning
* Modify corresponding icon in menu to show a footprint, not a schematic component.
* EDA_DRAW_PANEL completely encapsulated.
* Moved OSX m_overlay member from EDA_DRAW_PANEL to EDA_DRAW_FRAME where
it is used.
* Doxygen comment warning fixes.
* EDA_DRAW_FRAME completely encapsulated except for DrawFrame member.
* Moved members specific to Pcbnew from EDA_DRAW_FRAME to PCB_BASE_FRAME
or PCB_EDIT_FRAME as appropriate.
* Replace EDA_TOOLBAR with wxAuiToolBar as EDA_TOOL bar provided no
additional functionality and made code less readable.
* Remove EDA_TOOLBAR class definition from wxstruct.h and delete file
wineda_toolbar.cpp.
* Rename tool bar members to something more descriptive since the
horizontal and vertical references wont mean anything once the
tool bars are movable.
* Lots of dead code removal.
* Removed Pcb_Frame argument from BOARD() constructor, since it precludes
having a BOARD being edited by more than one editor, it was a bad design.
And this meant removing m_PcbFrame from BOARD.
* removed BOARD::SetWindowFrame(), and BOARD::m_PcbFrame
* Removed the global BOARD_DESIGN_SETTINGS which was in class_board.cpp
* added BOARD_DESIGN_SETTINGS to the BOARD class, a full instance
* a couple dialogs now only change BOARD_DESIGN_SETTINGS when OK is pressed,
such as dialog_mask_clearance, dialog_drc, etc.
* Removed common/pcbcommon.cpp's int g_CurrentVersionPCB = 1 and replaced it
with build_version.h's #define BOARD_FILE_VERSION, although there may be a
better place for this constant.
* Made the public functions in PARAM_CFG_ARRAY be type const.
void SaveParam(..) const and void ReadParam(..) const
* PARAM_CFG_BASE now has virtual destructor since we have various way of
destroying the derived class and boost::ptr_vector must be told about this.
* Pass const PARAM_CFG_ARRAY& instead of PARAM_CFG_ARRAY so that we can use
an automatic PARAM_CFG_ARRAY which is on the stack.\
* PCB_EDIT_FRAME::GetProjectFileParameters() may no longer cache the array,
since it has to access the current BOARD and the BOARD can change.
Remember BOARD_DESIGN_SETTINGS are now in the BOARD.
* Made the m_BoundingBox member private, this was a brutally hard task,
and indicative of the lack of commitment to accessors and object oriented
design on the part of KiCad developers. We must do better.
Added BOARD::GetBoundingBox, SetBoundingBox(), ComputeBoundingBox().
* Added PCB_BASE_FRAME::GetBoardBoundingBox() which calls BOARD::ComputeBoundingBox()
* Modify algorithm to correctly calculate the virtual drawing size and
offset required to place the drawing correctly under all conditions.
* Ignore default wxWidgets scroll keys on Windows in EDA_DRAW_PANEL key
event handler.
* Factor test for auto save file into base frame class.
* Added auto save feature to Eeschema for saving schematics, addresses
launchpad question 173631.
* Add auto save interval control to Eeschema options dialog.
* Fix problem with subsequent auto saves in last commit.
* Factor auto save common code into base frame class so all frame windows
can take advantage of the shiny new auto save goodness.
* Use a timer instead of depending on mouse and keyboard events to trigger
an auto save.
* Check for auto save file when opening a board and ask user if they
wish to use the auto save file or the last saved board file.
* Protect all base frame public members.
* Correct all user strings and comments for the correct capitalization of
application names according to JP. They are KiCad, Pcbnew, CvPcb,
Eeschema, and GerbView.
* Add a note the the user interface policy about the correct capitalization.
* All header files used to create the PCB common library now compile as
stand alone code. This prevents the need to define them in a specific
order to make source code compile properly. It should also now be
possible to relocate the source code to build the common PCB library
to a separate folder.
* Remove sine and cosine look up tables from trigo.cpp and replace them with
sin() and cos() math functions.
* Large include file clean up to prevent header ordering dependency build
failures.
* Translate French code names and comments.
* Lots of coding style policy and doxygen comment fixes.
* Move various locate functions into the appropriate board item object.
* Unified best zoom for all frames derived from PCB_BASE_FRAME.
* Remove track.cpp as it is no longer needed.
* Dead code removal.
* Remove scary frame window pointer member from board item objects.
* Add draw bounding box to gerber draw item for debugging purposes.
