This provides a method to add symbols that represent footprints on the
board that do not have an associate component such as mounting holes,
fiducials, logos, etc that should be excluded from the bill of materials.
It also prevents those footprints from being removed from the board
accidentally when updating the board from the schematic.
ADDED: Support to exclude schematic symbols from bill of materials
export.
Use flattened (root) library symbols to prevent broken library symbols
in schematic files.
Remove the edited symbol from screen before making changes to the symbol
to prevent potential orphaned symbol libraries being saved in schematic
file.
Add some defensive programming to let developers know that an invalid
library symbol link was used when calling SCH_COMPONENT::SetLibSymbol().
This is a very large and potentially disruptive change so this will be an
unusually long and detailed commit message.
The new file formats are now the default in both the schematic and symbol
library editors. Existing symbol libraries will be saved in their current
format until new features are added to library symbols. Once this happens,
both the legacy schematic and symbol file formats will be no longer be
savable and existing libraries will have to be converted. Saving to the
legacy file formats is still available for round robin testing and should
not be used for normal editing.
When loading the legacy schematic file, it is imperative that the schematic
library symbols are rescued and/or remapped to valid library identifiers.
Otherwise, there will be no way to link to the original library symbol and
the user will be required manually set the library identifier. The cached
symbol will be saved in the schematic file so the last library symbol in
the cache will still be used but there will be no way to update it from the
original library.
The next save after loading a legacy schematic file will be converted to
the s-expression file format. Schematics with hierarchical sheets will
automatically have all sheet file name extensions changed to .kicad_sym
and saved to the new format as well.
Appending schematics requires that the schematic to append has already been
converted to the new file format. This is required to ensure that library
symbols are guaranteed to be valid for the appended schematic.
The schematic symbol library symbol link resolution has been moved out of
the SCH_COMPONENT object and move into the SCH_SCREEN object that owns the
symbol. This was done to ensure that there is a single place where the
library symbol links get resolved rather than the dozen or so different
code paths that previously existed. It also removes the necessity of the
SCH_COMPONENT object of requiring any knowledge of the symbol library table
and/or the cache library.
When opening an s-expression schematic, the legacy cache library is not
loaded so any library symbols not rescued cannot be loaded. Broken library
symbol links will have to be manually resolved by adding the cache library
to the symbol library table and changing the links in the schematic symbol.
Now that the library symbols are embedded in the schematic file, the
SCH_SCREEN object maintains the list of library symbols for the schematic
automatically. No external manipulation of this library cache should ever
occur.
ADDED: S-expression schematic and symbol library file formats.
Some items (tracks and footprint graphic items) when reading were added in reverse order
of the initial file, creating useless differences and breaking source comparisons.
It looks good, but non-mandatory fields have an ID of -1, so it
doesn't actually work. Some places got around this by converting
the ID to unsigned, but this just hides the real issue from
unsuspecting coders.

Includes improvements to Update PCB from Schematic dialog and
corresponding changes to Symbol Properties, Sheet Properties and
Footprint Properties.

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.
Derived symbols were causing the symbol properties grid to assume that
the reference could not be edited because derived symbols inherit the
reference from the parent symbol. The flattened symbols in the schematic
still have the parent set which cause the issue. Clearing the parent of
the flattened symbol resolves the issue.
Fix a minor bug in the symbol information of derived symbols show in the
symbol chooser dialog.
Fixes#3723https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/issues/3723
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.
Prevent user from pasting text with carriage return and/or line feed
characters in field value edit control in the schematic symbol and symbol
library properties dialogs.
Make all objects derived from GRID_CELL_TEXT_BUTTON use validators
correctly.
Add validators to FIELDS_GRID_TABLE object for field values other than
the mandatory fields.
Create a validator to check that a string is a valid LIB_ID.

These dialogs had logic to avoid a table re-adjustment unless
the width changed. This was done to avoid spurious resizing
calls under GTK+3. This was commit
13249b723b, fixing bug lp:1817810.
However, by only calling event.Skip() when the width changed,
redraws were inhibited when only the height changed.
Placing the Skip() outside the width-change check fixes this,
and does not re-introduce the lp:1817810 bug (it is the column
adjust call that causes that).

In the component, an m_unit/m_convert element is 1-indexed as opposed to
the library where they are 0-indexed. The 0-index in the library is
reserved for those elements that are shared across all conversion/unit
whereas it is invalid for the component.

(cherry picked from commit c4be74a9d0)
For unknown reasons, GTK3 may send resize events when editing grid
fields. This can cause the grid editor to exit, losing the focus and
overwritting the characters at the next input.
We avoid this by filtering the size events when the size doesn't change.

Move the class DIALOG_EDIT_COMPONENT_IN_SCHEMATIC to its own
header, and move the SCH_EDIT_FRAME::EditComponent out of the
dialog implementation file. Thus, users of the dialog are
coupled only by the dialog header, as usual.
Also tidy some includes and comments.
