Eagle and Cadstar files -> open project.
dropping file to schematic editor -> append schematic;
dropping library file to Symbol editor -> add library;
dropping board file to PCB editor -> append board;
dropping library or footprint file to Footprint editor -> add library or import footprint;
dropping ZIP file or gerber files to Gerbview editor -> open files;
dropping sheet file to Drawing Sheet editor -> open sheet.

CHANGED: Symbol chooser search now considers custom symbol fields
Visible columns can be controlled in database libraries.
In standard KiCad libraries, we show columns for all custom fields for now.
Customizable column visibility will be added in the future.
Fixes https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/-/issues/11946
Also moves most navigation code to SCH_NAVIGATION_TOOL.
Also changes page number href to anchor syntax ('#foo').
Also adds hypertext processing to SCH_TEXTBOXes.
Also adds combobox with schematic pages to text properties dialog.
There is no technical reason for this restriction for non-power symbols, so let's remove it.
This will allow more flexibility and compatibility with other tools.

wxWidgets 3.1 has deprecated wxPATH_NORM_ALL when normalizing file
paths when calling wxFileName::Normalize(). This change keeps the
existing behavior except in places where our own internal
ExpandEnvVarSubstitutions() to expand environment variables.
Common settings may change colors so make sure that we refresh the draw
objects when the settings change to draw them in the proper colors.
Failing to do this may also cause left over lines on the screen
depending on OpenGL drivers
Fixes https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/issues/11921
(cherry picked from commit 8aabdcff9c)
Our menu bar code is interestingly complex. But we were throwing away newly made menu items to the void in the cases of constructed on the fly submenus
When double-clicking to open a symbol, it is no longer selected in the
tree. We need to use the `GetTargetLibId()` to pick the correct symbol
(first selected, then current) when using the duplicate command
Fixes https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/issues/11034
(cherry picked from commit 802d20c409)
Also makes sure the progress dialog is closed when we're done reading
symbols (it used to stay up for much of the symbol editor initialization).
Also makes sure that any cancel in the preLoad step is honoured in the
sync step. (The preload is done because it is multi-threaded and therefore
faster than the single-threaded sync.)
Also makes sure that individual threads pay attention to the cancellation,
not just the GUI thread.

Also fixes some plot bugs with arcs.
Also moves polygonization of arcs (when required) in plotting code
from 5 degrees to calculated based on ARC_HIGH_DEF.

Undo/Redo can change the symbol referenced by the symbol drawing tool.
This updates the current symbol before important steps to keep the
system synced
Fixes https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/issues/10125
(cherry picked from commit b8a7a66a0a)
ADDED arc, circle and rectangle shapes for schematic. Shapes support
line styles and fill colors.
CHANGED sheet background color in Edit Text & Graphics Properties to
fill color (and it now affects shapes).
Pushed STROKE_PARAMS down into common and moved all shapes to using it
for stroke descriptions.
There doesn't appear to be any reason why the LIBID needs to be populated
before a "save as", seeing as the user will be inputting the new lib name
and lib nickname via the dialog.
Fixes https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/-/issues/9744
We have a hack for turning accelerator keys that wxWidgets turns into
menu commands back in to accelerator keys -- but it requires that the
corresponding menu items be enabled in order to work.
Can't escape by default because the allowed characters differ in the
read-only libraries and existing schematics that reference them. So,
escape when we import into standard KiCad Libraries
Fixes https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/issues/9419
Also cleans up the dialog a bit.
Also changes the workings of NormalizePath to return the input if
it couldn't be shortened which saves open coding that behaviour in
all its callers.
Fixes https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/issues/9036
This allows the workflow:
1) Edit symbol in schematic
2) Save As to original library
Also allows the user to quickly overwrite a symbol they don't want,
either by importing over the existing symbol or creating a new one.
They don't define a KiCad string class, so the header file name was
somewhat misleading. But the fact that they didn't match definitely
made coding more difficult.
CHANGED: When creating a new library, the usual intention is to add a
new symbol to it. Without this, the "No symbol library selected."
message will appear if the user attempts to add a new symbol without
manually selecting their new library.
It's tempting to say that we don't need to exclude filename chars
from symbols, but we might regret that decision down the road. Better
to just escape them.
Fixes https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/issues/8694
wxString::Format is redundant in a wxLogXXX call.
Error messages should generally be translatable.
Error messages should use generally consistent sentence forms.
MacOS wxWidgets implementation of wxPrintf/Format suffers from some
issues when mixing string types. We avoid this by manually formatting
the string ourselves.
Fixes https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/issues/8404
This was leaking windows headers and partial wx headers to 1084 compilation units......
This also means math/util.h is leaking to 1084 compilation units which seems a bit high too.
Differentiates better between the EDA_ITEM IsModified(), referring to
items themselves changing and the EDA_SCREEN IsContentModified(),
referring to whether we have made any unsaved changes.
wx/wx.h includes all wxWidgets .h files, and sometimes creates collision
names in #define between kicad and windows headers
Moreover, blindly including a lot of useless files is compil time consuming
1) Don't reset value when name changes
2) Don't fire events when initialising dialog
3) Make sure when symbol is saved back to schematic that only current
instance has its ref updated, but that all instances have their other
fields updated.
4) When saving symbol back to board always use the fields from the
editor and not the (alias-specific) ones from the library.
Fixes https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/issues/8159
After commit 9535153f9e there were no more IDs inside the legacy ID
system. Therefore the entire system for dispatching and looking up
the legacy ideas and handling those events can now be removed and
the tool dispatcher simplified (it no longer needs to know about
the ACTIONS class).
The ACTION_MENU constructor now takes the tool as an argument,
so the call to SetTool() immediately following it can be removed
and the tool just passed into the constructor.
Saying "Import/Export" on the labels when the submenu has "Import"
or "Export" in it is redundant.
Note that we can't just update the action text with the new name,
because that is used in the hotkey list and would become too confusing
without the "Import"/"Export" text.
Bitmaps are now identified by an enum class instead of by pointers.
Bitmap loading and caching is now handled by a class in common, and
we no longer compile most bitmaps into the binary, so there is no
longer a bitmaps static library.
Instead, bitmaps are archived to a .tar.gz file which is installed
in ${KICAD_DATA}/resources/images.tar.gz
The source PNGs are checked in to Git as the original CPP files were,
so that people can build without the required dependencies to convert
SVGs to PNGs.
Initial support is also added for dark theme icons, although this
is not yet exposed in the GUI.
Stubs are present for multi-resolution image resources, but this is
not fully-baked yet and could use some refinement.
We don't actually allow the user to change this at present, so one
could argue that we should remove it from what is saved out of the
config. But this is a smaller, safer change.
