Fixa also a corner case which crashes Pcbnew: if the dialog is opened, and the board was changed (reloaded, cleared), pcbnew crashed because many pointers stored in dialog become invalid. Now the dialog is just closed.
I tried to merge some constants used both in legacy mode and gal mode (which were, before this patch, separate constants).
There is still a serious work to avoid different calculation code for the same text in draw and plot functions.
Work in progress to merge these calculation functions.
* No initial copied object changed (this was a serious bug to modify these
objects. Previous version modified references and other texts using a
broken algorithm).
* Only new pads are numbered (therefore renumbering is used only in footprint
editor)
* Remove not working feature in circular array: now only use number for
pads (other options using alphabetical letters are removed: did not work
correctly).
* A more clear option is used to choose if the pads are numbered from a chosen
value or from the first available value.
* Adding a warning message if a parameter is incorrect.
Pcbnew: auxiliary axis shape: use the same look as GAL, to be consistent with GAL.
Minor change in dialog_env_var_config (use the wxStdDialogButtonSize for usual OK, Cancel and help buttons)
* Replace the term module with footprint.
* Use default dialog size to allow sizers to determine the size of the dialog.
* Fix a few alignment and spacing issues.
* Fix some minor grammatical issues.
* Use front and back for board side instead of top and bottom to be consistent
with layer naming scheme.
reasons:
* This option is called "bad practice" in gerber files format specifications and is even forbidden in gerber drill files.
* Generates problems with some board makers because these holes are not identified in a single NC file.
* No one was able to explain us how to identified them in a single NC file.
* Recent change in drill file generation is not compatible with merged holes (minor reason)
Drill report: serious enhancements.
Plot files names for copper layers: build from the user layer name, like in bzr 4022 stable version. no change for other layers.
Pcbnew: Plot files: for copper layers, create suffix from user copper layer names instead of default copper layer names, like in last stable Kicad version (bzr 4022), to build the plot files filenames.
Better test of illegal chars in plot filename, both in plot dialog and functions aclled by Python scripts.
Fix a Plotcontroller issue to make SetUseGerberExtensions() work as expected from Python scripts ( from Henner Zeller'patch with a fix to be sure it works properly from a Python script)
Note also using Protel Gerber Extensions is now a bad practice, because the official Gerber extension is .gbr since X2 Gerber version. But some users still use them)
* The board ratsnest visibility state was being saved in both the board file
and the Pcbnew configuration files causing visibility state issues. Use the
board file to save the board ratsnest visibility state.
* Remove all of the board ratsnest save visibility state to configuration file
code.
* Add code to set the board modified property when layer visibility states
change to give the user a chance to save the state in the board file.
* Some minor code cleaning and coding policy fixes.
* 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 skip event to notebook page changed event handler. Apparently OSX
updates the selected notebook page in this event instead of the page
changing event used on Window and Linux.
* Improve duplicate net class name error message.
* Use default dialog size to allow sizers to do their job.
* General layout and sizer improvements.
* Remove HTML message window which could not be used when error dialog was displayed.
* Use wxStdDialogButtonSizer for the OK and Cancel buttons.
* Check for design rule validity in TransferDataFromWindow() to prevent dialog from being
closed and all new design rules being lost when an error is detected. This gives the user a
chance to fix any design rules errors before dismissing the dialog.
* Add missing test for extra via drill diameter violations.
* Remove unnecessary OK and Cancel butten clicked event handlers.
* Rename Eda_FileSelector to EDA_FILE_SELECTOR.
* Add optional pointer to wxString to save the most recently used path to EDA_FILE_SELECTOR.
* Rename Eda_DirectorySelector to EDA_PATH_SELECTOR.
* Replace wxGetCwd() with wxStandardPaths::GetDocumentsDir(). This fixes the windows issue
where wxGetCwd() returns the path where the executable files are located.
* Add code to handle most recently used path to EDA_BASE_FRAME.
* Fix string formatting error in kicad/files-io.cpp.
* Remove setting and restoring current working directory when launching GerbView. Setting the CWD
has no effect on the launched executable which starts with it's own CWD.
* Allow project path to be passed to GerbView when launched from KiCad.
* Note: this is a work in progress. Do not expect every path and/or file selection dialog to properly
update the most recently used path. The correct solution to this problem requires a much more
well though out solution which will not happen until after the next stable release.
* UI capitalization policy fixes.
* Set OK button as the default.
* Use default dialog size to allow sizers to do their job.
* Minor grammar and abbreviation string fixes.
* Make OK button the default in the copper zones properties dialog.
* Change the set global text edit properties menu entry so that is describes
what the dialog actually does.
* Make the clean up tracks and vias menu entry description more accurate.
* Track the last used path for the current session.
* Set focus back to OK button after wxFilePickerCtrl button is pressed to change file path
and/or file name so next return key press fires OK event.
* Use default dialog size to let the sizers set initial dialog size.
* Add spacer to improve layout when resizing dialog.
* Use colons for consistency with other dialogs.
* Use default size to allow sizers to determine dialog size.
* Use "segment" rather than abbreviation "segm".
* Use width and height to describe text instead of X and Y.
* Add spacer to improve layout when resizing dialog.
* Use colons consistently in labels.
* Use default dialog size to allow sizers to size dialog.
* Fix control alignment and spacing consistency.
* Add spacer to improve layout when resizing dialog.
* Make control spacing and alignment consistent.
* Use default dialog size and to allow the sizers to do thier job.
* Add colons to per item labels for consistency.
* Fix error message box title capitalization per UI policy.
* Remove hard coded dialog size and let the sizers do their job.
* Minor UI policy text fixes.
* Minor text changes to improve readability.
* Minor tool tip changes to improve readability.
