Set up a new lineage for SCH_ITEMS to get back to the SCHEMATIC
they live on: Items will all be parented to the SCH_SCREEN that
they are added to, and each SCH_SCREEN will point back to the
SCHEMATIC that it is part of. Note that this hierarchy is not
the same as the actual schematic hierarchy, which continues to
be managed through SCH_SHEETs and SCH_SHEET_PATHS.
Also fixes a bug where a bunch of eeschema settings weren't getting
loaded because it looked like they were larger than the max value
(which wasn't being scaled from mils to internal units).
Fixes https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/issues/2089
Some graphic line thickness were initialized to 0.
The actual line thickness is set after reading config.
But in some cases the config does not exist, and 0 line thickness creates draw issues.
Use an underscore character instead of a semicolon between the library
ID library nickname and symbol name in library ID search strings when
looking up symbols in the cache library since that is how they are saved
when creating the cache library. This fixes rescuing missing symbols
from the cache when they have been removed from the original library and
preventing a broken symbol link indicator from being shown when a symbol
is removed from the library.
Add some defensive testing to make sure the library passed to function
SchGetLibPart() is actually the cache library.
CHANGES: Symbol library file format has been converted to s-expressions.
Add support code for picking apart symbols at some future junction that
will allow full inheritance conversion of existing symbol libraries. For
now, symbols arranged by unit and body style numbers are nested for round
robin testing of symbol libraries once the parser is complete.
CHANGED: Settings are now stored in versioned sub-directories
ADDED: First-run dialog for migrating settings from a previous version
CHANGED: Settings are now stored as JSON files instead of wxConfig-style INI files
CHANGED: Color settings are now all stored in a separate settings file
CHANGED: The symbol editor and footprint editor now have their own settings files
CHANGED: Color settings are no longer exposed through BOARD object
CHANGED: Page layout editor now uses Eeschema's color scheme
Settings are now managed through a central SETTINGS_MANAGER held by PGM_BASE.
Existing settings will be migrated from the wxConfig format on first run of each application.
Per-application settings are now stored in one class for each application.
This change completely removes the LIB_ALIAS design pattern an replaces
it by allowing LIB_PART objects to inherit from other LIB_PART objects.
The initial implementation only allows for single inheritance and only
supports the mandatory fields in the derived part because that is all
that the current symbol library file format will support. Once the new
file format is implemented and saving to the old file format is deprecated,
more complex inheritance will be added. The LIB_ALIAS information saved
in the document files was move into the LIB_PART object. This change
impacts virtually every part of the schematic and symbol library editor
code so this commit message is woefully incomplete.
REMOVE: Removed the symbol aliases concept from the schematic and symbol
editors and the symbol viewer.
NEW: Replace the symbol alias concept with simple inheritance that allows
a library symbol to be derived from another library symbol.
When placing a new component in the schematic, this allows the user to
iterate through all units in the selected component without re-opening
the choose part dialog. It also allows the optional addition of
multiple copies of the same component to be placed in the schematic.
