- Keep original image data. When loading JPEG, this avoid recompression
that changes file data and decreases image quality
- Allow schematic and page layout editors to store non-PNG data as well
- Move page layout editor to store base64 instead of hex-coded data
When users add an image to the board, this change keeps the original
file format when saving instead of converting the files into PNG-format,
which had the effect of making some board files much larger and slower

(This prevents rectangle from not getting combined into pad if
proxy flag is turned off as Clipper collapses the polygon union
because it's too small.)
Sometimes the grid thickness setting does not work, depending on some locale setting.
Core developers are not able to reproduce this issue related to a double conversion.
So these wxSpinCtrlDouble are replaced by a wxSpinCtrl (using ints) and a wxChoice.
- Move PLUGIN_FILE_DESC to common.
- SCH_PLUGIN: rename Load -> LoadSchematicFile, Save -> SaveSchematicFile.
- Use PLUGIN_FILE_DESC and CanRead* in schematic plugins.
- Return none/unknown types from Find/GuessPluginType functions.
- Iterate over file types for file wildcards.
- Clean-up header checking in IO plugins.
- Use PCB plugin list in IO_MGR::GuessPluginTypeFromLibPath.
Also simplifies the dialog by removing the user grid (now that you
can add as many user grids as you want).
This does mean that you can no longer have an asymmetric grid, but
it gets too complex if we allow everything for everyone.
Removes old defines and work arounds for earlier wx versions and adds a
CMake requirement to use at least 3.2 (or the minimum matching wxPython
version)
Most of these settings are now available in the appearances panel.
It was concluded in a Zulip discussion that any missing items can
be added back in time if people find they need them (ie: complain).
Also hooks up 3DViewer to the common language framework.
macOS' application menu generates command events and can't call our tool
framework directly, so we have to keep the event table handlers around
to handle these events.
While it's a bit of an encapsulation leak (see comment in
CONNECTION_SUBGRAPH::driverName()), it more than doubles undo/redo
performance in documents with *lots* of nets.
When working in high contrast mode, we want to be able to select a
footprint with only elements in, e.g. silk and fab layers.
The previous design for footprint IsOnLayer had one behavior of every
other element and a different behavior for footprints. This leads to
multiple bugs as new features use the overloaded IsOnLayer expecting it
to report if the element exists on a layer or not.
For footprints, we need a different routine to determine whether or not
to select the footprint when clicking on it. IsOnLayer will report if
the footprint has any elements on a specific layer but we don't want to
use the bbox for a hittest because large footprints with through hole
pads will exist on every layer and have an enormous bbox. Instead, we
filter footprints based on the hittest of each element. This behaves in
a more logical fashion, allowing you to select a footprint by clicking
on a visible element of that footprint.

Before, we did not actually prevent users from adding a field also named
Quantity to their symbols. This of course does not play nicely with the
assumptions that Quantity is a special column in the fields editor.
By making it a named variable, the user can safely add it to a symbol
and it will not be editable, and will also work in the fields table
editor as expected.
If KiCad crashes or exits without deleting the lockfile, don't show the
warning message unless we are not the one who locked it or there are
other KiCad instances running locally.
This should catch 99% of the cases where the message is shown
incorrectly. There may be some corner cases where the lock file is
created on a network drive using two different machines with the same
name and same user but these cases should be (famous last words)
sufficiently rare as to not be observed in practice
The symbol editor has few enough items that it will still be performant
if we always send a selected-item-modifed event. (As it turns out we
were doing that anyway as the check for child-modified flags didn't
also check for selected.)
mainly because we now use std::string in a lot of function using previously char*
FROM_UTF8(const char* cstring) now calls From_UTF8(const char* cstring)
The TOOL_ACTION_ARGS construction method is supposed to be fairly light
weight, so instead of creating/destroying strings all the time, pass
string_views to the actual string data instead.
wx doesn't currently support string_view -> wxString implicitly
currently, so we have to do the conversion ourself.
Also moves the settings from Board Setup to Preferences > PCB Editor.
Also collapses Track Drag Mode from radio buttons to a choice menu to
save space and allow it to be with the other editing action modes.
This is required to keep selected and brightened state across undo.
It's also probably required for things like IS_SHOWN_AS_BITMAP and
possibly ENTERED. FWIW, most BOARD_ITEMs do a straight swap, including
the temp and edit flags. But that seems like a risky change....
Also removes SyncView() call from Undo/Redo as that does a MODEL_RELOAD
which clears the selection.
CHANGED abandon the unpredictable behaviour of the Simulation Command
dialog. You now separately add simulation tabs (which have invariant
command types once created), and the dialog edits the current tab.
Also a bunch of bug fixes to make multiple simulation plots actually
work.
- in DXF coordinates were using 6 digits for coordinate mantissa: this is not
enough for coord in inches. Now use 16 digits
- Arc( VECTOR2I& aCentre, EDA_ANGLE& aStartAngle, EDA_ANGLE& aEndAngle, ...)
was using integers for coord. This creates significant errors for start point
and end points of the arc. Now the center is given in double, and its position
is calculated from angle end points (and radius) to do not generate a position error
for these end points (previously the error could be 20 ... 50 nm)

Note that "immediate" doesn't mean quite the same thing: while it will
enter the tool immediately, it won't necessarily finish the tool during
the call if the tool has an event loop. So for something like Rotate
"immediate" and "synchronous" have the same behaviour, but for something
like Move they do not.

Using a boolean argument just leads to a lot of trailing booleans in the
function calls and is not user friendly. Instead, introduce PostAction()
to send an action that runs after the coroutine (equivalent to passing
false or the default argument), and leave RunAction as the immediate
execution function.
The WX_COMPATIBILITY mode is always assumed now (the option was removed
previously), but the define is no longer present. So remove the old code
that checked for it and just leave the wxASSERT statements.
This is purely loading in the background based and has no artificial delay.
Will be more useful once kicad.exe ends up loading more on launch immediately ;)
Right now the splash is probably visible the longest launching pcbnew standalone.
The actual splash image can be considered a placeholder
Using std::any from C++17 allows for proper type handling in the
parameter field, removing the need for casting to void* and then casting
the void* to the desired type.
This replaces a hack where the parameter was used to identify a custom
UI ID with a proper solution. This moves the cut/copy/paste actions to
the new system, but more like help/quit/close should also be moved over
in the future.
A function-chain constructor method allows for the long list of
parameters to the constructor to be shrunk to only the ones needed by
each action, and allow self-documenting code for what each part of a
TOOL_ACTION constructor does.

Its members can be on copper layers, but the group itself isn't on any
layer.
Also fixes a bug where we were trying to clone TRIANGULATED_POLYGON::TRI
shapes as indexable sub-shapes. (The TRI only has indexes into its
parent, so cloning it will only result in segfaults down the line.)
Also fixes a bug where we weren't including copper items inside groups
when checking footprint net ties.

Normally this means surrounded by forward slashes, but we also still
allow any regular expression in a netclass match to keep from breaking
existing documents.

The API is needed for wxFormBuilder, and I couldn't figure out any
way around it, but we can at least reduce the risk of someone calling
it accidentally (again).
When creating a new file lock, we need to check if the containing
directory can be written, not if the file (which may not yet exist) can
be written
