Create dialog and code to allow legacy schematic symbols to be remapped
from the old library path look up method to the new symbol library table
method by using the following steps:
1) Create a project symbol library table containing all of the symbol
libraries defined in the old library look up list not found in the
global symbol library table.
2) Map each symbol to the correct symbol in the symbol library table
if possible.
Recreate library link to symbols so look up method can be converted to
symbol library table properly.
Add function to SCH_COMPONENT to link library symbols using the symbol
library table.
PROPERTIES object has been recreated every time it was needed, using
two fields in PART_LIB class. Now the buffering & caching settings are
stored directly in a PROPERTIES object.
When Eeschema is relaunched from KiCad, the symbol libraries were always
reloaded which isn't necessary as they are maintained by the kiface project
object until the project is changed.
Fix minor title capitalization in symbol library progress dialog.
Check to see if the root symbol alias already exists before adding it to
the symbol library alias list in the legacy schematic I/O plugin. There
currently about six different ways that the root alias can be changed in
the root symbol which causes issues. This really needs to be cleaned up.
Use buffering when updating a symbol in a library to prevent the library
file from being written before it is backed up.
Update the alias and unit selection menubar drop down lists.
Delete the output formatter so the file is closed so that reading the
file time stamp can be performed to prevent unnecessary cache reloads.

Check for existence of cache library when before attempting to rebuild
the cache. Create a new cache library object if no cache library was
loaded.
Add missing buffering and cache properties to LIB_PART::FindAlias() to
prevent the plugin from reloading the cache library that may not exist.
Add method to find library by full path and file name.
Revert the check for a symbol in the cache library remove from last
patch.
Add checks for plugin cache file name validity and existence of a the
file before attempting to verify the file modification time to prevent
wxWidgets from raising an assertion in debug builds.
Clear modified flag when saving buffered and/or cached library.
Move adding LIB_PART to library until the part is fully parse. The problem
was unique_ptr was cleaning up the part when an exception was thrown during
parsing causing a double free when the cache was deleted.
Add missing try/catch block when loading the cache library during an append
schematic operation.

Use LIB_ID instead of wxString for storing the library symbol information
in the schematic symbol in preparation for the upcoming symbol library table
implementation.
Change the FindLibAlias and FindLibPart functions in the PART_LIBS object
instead of wxString. Please note that only the library ID name is used to
search the list of libraries. The library nickname is ignored. Once the
symbol library table is implemented and full LIB_IDs are defined, the
library search code will no longer be used and will only be kept to load
older schematics that have not been converted.
Move SCH_LEGACY_PLUGIN_CACHE definition so that the legacy plugin knows
how to properly delete the cache object.
The LIB_PART object stores a pointer to the PART_LIB that it belongs to.
Now that the PART_LIB is no long responsible for loading the library, add
the PART_LIB pointer after the library is loaded by the plugin.
Add SCH_PLUGIN object to PART_LIB object.
Convert all PART_LIB I/O to use SCH_PLUGIN.
Remove library caching from PART_LIB and use caching provided by SCH_PLUGIN.
Add support to use PROPERTIES for buffering and document file write control
instead of adding code the SCH_PLUGIN object in the SCH_LEGACY_PLUGIN that
will not be required when the new file formats are implemented.
Add buffering to SCH_LEGACY_PLUGIN to prevent cache from writing file on
every change to library. This is to prevent the cache library from being
written every time a new symbol is added.
Add option to not save library document file when saving library. This is
primarily used by the cache library write code.
Move symbol library write code out of LIB_PART and into SCH_LEGACY_PLUGIN.
Add exception handling where LIB_PART caught the exception and returned
an error status.
Remove KICAD_SCH_IO_MANAGER build option as it is no longer optional.
Replace LIB_PART::Conflicts() with an external test to for alias name
conflicts. This was only use in one place so don't clutter the library
API.
Change LIB_PART::AddPart() return type from bool to void since it's not
checked by any callers and differs from the equivalent schematic I/O
plugin function.
Select the first library in the list and the first symbol in the first
library if they exist the first time the symbol viewer is opened.
Prevent clicking on the next or previous toolbar buttons from wrapping
past the end of the symbol list to mimic the behavior of the up and down
arrow key strokes.opens a select
library dialog.
Use incriminating or decrementing the current symbol selection when using
the next and previous symbol toolbar buttons rather looking up the next
symbol in the library. Just use the next or previous symbol name in the
list.
Replace the select library and select symbol from library list dialogs
which where redundant with the symbol search dialog used in place symbol
tool in the schematic editor. This gives the user type ahead search and
selects the library and symbol in one dialog.
Move updating toolbar buttons from the ReCreateHToolbar() function into
dedicated wxUpdateUIEvents.
Break Process_Special_Functions() into individual event handlers.
Remove PART_LIB::GetNextEntry() and PART_LIB::GetPreviousEntry() as they
are no longer required due to the changes to the symbol library viewer.
Purge wxT() macros from all modified source files.
Rename PART_LIB GetEntryNames() and RemoveEntry() to GetAliasNames() and
RemoveAlias() respectively for improved readability.
Rename PART_LIBS FindLibraryEntry() to FindLibraryAlias() improved
readability.
Remove commented out PART_LIBS::FindLibraryEntries().
Remove PART_LIB::GetFirstEntry() and update all effect code accordingly.
Remove unused PART_LIB::SetFileName() method.
Remove unused PART_LIBS::RemoveAllLibraries() method.
By rethrowing the exception here, the entire caching process is
curtailed if there is an IO_ERROR while parsing a lib. This means any
libs up to the one before the bad one will be cached, but ones after it
wil not be.
Change to wxLogError to gather the errors to present to the user at the
end of the process.
Make LIB_PART copy constructor take a const LIB_PART reference.
Add SaveSymbol to legacy symbol library plugin.
Add removeAlias to legacy symbol library cache.
Add AddSymbol to legacy symbol library cache.
* Rename redundant function PART_LIB::GetEntry() to PART_LIB::GetAlias() which
is more descriptive and move the GetAlias() function which was nothing more
than a call to GetEntry().
* Write SCH_LEGACY_PLUGIN_CACHE object for handling the legacy symbol library
file format.
* Write legacy symbol library file parser.
* Write code to transfer cache to PART_LIB object so existing library save
code can be used for round trip testing. This is temporary until Eeschema
is updated to use the plugin for library management rather than PART_LIB.
* Add LIB_XXXX object helper functions where there was no way to set the member
variables of an object.
* Give the cache object friend status to some object where there are incredibly
byzantine ways of setting text in LIB_XXXX objects.
* Remove unused sort and make upper case options from PART_LIB::GetEntryNames()
and PART_LIB::GetEntryTypePowerNames() since they were never used anywhere in
the code. All comparisons are case sensitive and the array of names is always
sorted.
* Add code to test if any of the components in the schematic cache have been changed
in the component libraries.
* Prompt user to accept or reject components when changes are found.
* If the user chooses to use the components in the cache, create a new library with the old
components and add it to the beginning of the component library list so the schematic will
not be changed.
* Create dialogs to handle user feedback and status.
Previously, only the lib named "power" was used (and therefore power parts defined in other libs not shown).
Now, all power parts can be loaded from any library.
Also, when loading power parts from the chose component dialog or the lib viewer, libs and parts are filtered: only power parts and libs containing power parts are listed.
Hotkeys: move a few global strings in the files where ther are actually used (and make them local.) and code cleaning.
Fix a few other minor issues.
Schematic component properties dialog: add 2 helper buttons to manage the chip name (name of the corresponding part in lib)
- a browse button to chose an other chip name
- a test button, to know if the part exists. If not existing, list the parts found when searching using a case insensitive comparison.
However to be compatible with old versions of Eeschema, when a search in library fails, a case insensitive search is made.
Therefore, this version should be compatible with sch files created by previous Eeschema versions compiled with KICAD_KEEPCASE = OFF
*) When kicad.exe closes a project, close any open KIFACEs so that they cannot
get disassociated from their true PROJECT.
*) Allow loading eeschema library editor from kicad.exe
*) Allow loading pcbnew library editor from kicad.exe
*) Rename LIB_COMPONENT to LIB_PART.
*) Add class PART_LIBS, and PART_LIB.
*) Make PART_LIBS non-global, i.e. PROJECT specific.
*) Implement "data on demand" for PART_LIBS
*) Implement "data on demand" for schematic SEARCH_STACK.
*) Use RSTRINGs to retain eeschema editor's notion of last library and part being edited.
*) Get rid of library search on every SCH_COMPONENT::Draw() call, instead use
a weak pointer.
*) Remove all chdir() calls so projects don't need to be CWD.
*) Romove APPEND support from OpenProjectFiles().
*) Make OpenProjectFiles() robust, even for creating new projects.
*) Load EESCHEMA colors in the KIWAY::OnKiwayStart() rather in window open,
and save them in the .eeschema config file, not in the project file.
*) Fix bug with wxDir() while accessing protected dirs in kicad.exe
*) Consolidate template copying into PROJECT class, not in kicad.exe source.
*) Generally untangle eeschema, making its libraries not global but rather
held in the PROJECT.
was used locally. Then comment it out in favor of a newer strategy for
filling in nicknames in cvpcb.
Add MODULE* FootprintLoadWithOptionalNickname( const FPID& aFootprintId )
throw( IO_ERROR, PARSE_ERROR );
from code found elsewhere.
The desire is to migrate designs *away from* case independence, and to create
designs which use literally (case specific) interpreted component names. But for
backwards compatibility, you may turn OFF this option if you really must.
(Remember that with KiCad using text data files, typically you would be better
off simply doctoring those files into a case literal state with a text editor
and move forward into the brave new world of case specificity. Also, BOM
generators may not work properly when you have this option turned OFF, the xml
export's referential integrity is broken on library part name. Hence the default
is ON now, as of 29-Jan-2014.
