Improve dialog layout and fix UI policy issues with all of the dialog
boxes in the common, 3D viewer, CvPcb, and Eeschema code paths.
Updated the use of component to symbol.
Remove all symbol libraries from the project file after remapping to
prevent symbols that should be loaded from the cache being loaded from
a library further up the search order. Save the project file to clear
all of the libraries so they never get reloaded again.
Remove the symbol library management dialog and menu entries.
Rename the symbol library table dialog menu entry.
Remove all symbol libraries from default project file to prevent clashes
with the cache library.
Fix illegal symbol naming in Eagle plugin.
Create a new dialog to edit global and project specific symbol library
tables.
Add menu entries for new symbol library table editor in schematic editor
and symbol library editor main frame menus.
Add command event handler for symbol library table editor dialog to
SCH_BASE_FRAME so it is accessible from derived frames.
Fix bug in default environment variables initialization. A test for
existing user defined environment variables was preventing any new
default environment variables added to the list from being initialized.
* Make the about dialog help string consistent across all menus.
* Improve print preview window and print initialization error messages.
* The usual smattering of coding policy fixes.
* Add footprint and drop table from the Pcbnew footprint library table menu
entry to make it clear to new users.
* Add component to the Eeschema library configuration menu entry.
Ensure some values initialized by the schematic editor and used by libedit are also initialized in libedit even if the schematic editor was not started.
Remove useless commands (save/load project config) in libedit, because now they have no sense.
! The initial testing of this commit should be done using a Debug build so that
all the wxASSERT()s are enabled. Also, be sure and keep enabled the
USE_KIWAY_DLLs option. The tree won't likely build without it. Turning it
off is senseless anyways. If you want stable code, go back to a prior version,
the one tagged with "stable".
* Relocate all functionality out of the wxApp derivative into more finely
targeted purposes:
a) DLL/DSO specific
b) PROJECT specific
c) EXE or process specific
d) configuration file specific data
e) configuration file manipulations functions.
All of this functionality was blended into an extremely large wxApp derivative
and that was incompatible with the desire to support multiple concurrently
loaded DLL/DSO's ("KIFACE")s and multiple concurrently open projects.
An amazing amount of organization come from simply sorting each bit of
functionality into the proper box.
* Switch to wxConfigBase from wxConfig everywhere except instantiation.
* Add classes KIWAY, KIFACE, KIFACE_I, SEARCH_STACK, PGM_BASE, PGM_KICAD,
PGM_SINGLE_TOP,
* Remove "Return" prefix on many function names.
* Remove obvious comments from CMakeLists.txt files, and from else() and endif()s.
* Fix building boost for use in a DSO on linux.
* Remove some of the assumptions in the CMakeLists.txt files that windows had
to be the host platform when building windows binaries.
* Reduce the number of wxStrings being constructed at program load time via
static construction.
* Pass wxConfigBase* to all SaveSettings() and LoadSettings() functions so that
these functions are useful even when the wxConfigBase comes from another
source, as is the case in the KICAD_MANAGER_FRAME.
* Move the setting of the KIPRJMOD environment variable into class PROJECT,
so that it can be moved into a project variable soon, and out of FP_LIB_TABLE.
* Add the KIWAY_PLAYER which is associated with a particular PROJECT, and all
its child wxFrames and wxDialogs now have a Kiway() member function which
returns a KIWAY& that that window tree branch is in support of. This is like
wxWindows DNA in that child windows get this member with proper value at time
of construction.
* Anticipate some of the needs for milestones B) and C) and make code
adjustments now in an effort to reduce work in those milestones.
* No testing has been done for python scripting, since milestone C) has that
being largely reworked and re-thought-out.
* Replace all occurrences of the word "part" with "unit" when referring to
multiple unit components for improved consistency.
* Replace "shared by" with "common to" when referring to objects (lines, arcs,
pins, etc.) that are common to all units.
* Improve wording in library component properties dialog.
Kicad manager: shows now svg files in tree files.
Pcbnew: fix incorrect printing (board out of page) when creating drill map in postscript format ( noticeable mainly for small boards)
* Fixed bug on Windows that prevented the menu short cuts from working
properly.
* Fix duplicate menu short cut keys in KiCad, Pcbnew, and Eeschema.
* Add menu short cuts for all possible menu entries.
* 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.
* Rename all ADD_MENUITEM_* functions to AddMenuItem and move them to
wxstruct.h since they are used by the Kicad main frame classes.
* Move SET_BITMAP and SETBITMAPS definitions to wxstruct.h.
* Fix a bug in SET_BITMAPS that prevented enabling menu item images on
OSX.
* Rename MsgItem to EDA_MSG_ITEM.
* Remove redundant includes from modified files.
* Doxygen and coding style policy fixes.
* Add in help menu a direct link to the new doc Getting_Started_in_KiCad.pdf, written by contributors (useful for beginners)
* Fix other very minor issues in CvPcb.
* Update howto doc about translation
