The editor has an entry to set a comment associated to a graphic item.
It is only for the designer, but the code to save it in .wks file when not empty was missing.
The code to read it exists since the beginning, so no change in file format
CHANGED: Environment variables defined outside of KiCad will no longer
be saved in the settings file. Paths can be configured via
the Configure Paths dialog and those changes will be saved in
the settings file if the new path is different from the default
and the path variable was not defined in the system environment.
wx/wx.h includes all wxWidgets .h files, and sometimes creates collision
names in #define between kicad and windows headers
Moreover, blindly including a lot of useless files is compil time consuming
Windows doesnt need an ambiguous "screen border region" defined in percent, it's an absolute area given in pixels
Also we need to check the top corner y value to the ClientArea returned from the wxDisplay, in the situation the task bar is on top.
Fix#7850
In case the documentation and help files from kicad-doc are not
installed or are located in a folder where KiCad cannot find them, an
info dialog is shown offering the user the option to access the online
help system instead.
Fixes https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/issues/2142
On Linux, the documentation and help files are potentially installed to
a non-standard location (i.e., outside of /usr/share/doc/kicad/). This
can be the case when, e.g., multiple versions of KiCad are installed in
parallel. Making KICAD_DOCS available at run-time is the only viable
solution to allow the applications to find the help files in this case.
Fixes https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/issues/7874
Rely on existing code to initialise the list of paths in which the KiCad
documentation might be located, thereby making SearchHelpFileFullPath
platform-agnostic and easier to read.
On MSW, CaptureMouse() was sometimes called event if the GAL panel has
captured the mouse (that was not accepted by wxMSW), although HasCapture()
returns false.
(Perhaps some race condition between events)
The fix add a flag to avoid calling twice CaptureMouse() after only one
wxEVT_MOUSE_CAPTURE_LOST event was received.

Keeping them in base_units means that we can't introduce
any dependence on these functions to anything that needs to
compile without one of the unit defines (EESCHEMA, PCBNEW, etc)
This function is used in UNIT_BINDER, that does not accept floating notation
with exponent, that can be generated by parseSetResult().
As a result: values < 0.0001 cannot be entered in a UNIT_BINDER.
Introduce a new advanced config variable `KICAD_LIBRARY_DATA` which can
be used to move templates, symbols, footprints, and 3dmodels out of
`KICAD_DATA`. If not defined, everything is kept as before.
To facilitate this, PATHS::GetStockEDALibraryPath() is added. This
allows to differentiate code paths looking for EDA library data vs. code
paths looking for plugins, demos, and the like.
Thanks to Aimylios for the hints and suggestions with regards to the
stock EDA library data path handling on Windows and MacOS.
VIEW::GetBoundary() returns the entire view area, not the visible area.
Surprisingly, we had no API for this, so I added one.
Also, changed the dragger behavior to toggle between optimizing just the
modified area and optimizing the visible area, i.e. we will now never
optimize off-screen portions of the dragged track.
Use the connecting straight tracks even if not exactly parallel - allow
an error margin configurable in ADVANCED_CFG (default 1 degree). Also
be less strict about end point matching and use the width of the track
as the criteria to determine suitability.
Finally, delete any short lengths of track at the end of the operation
and amend the arc end points to keep connectivity.

The native cursor must be set on the GAL canvas wx object,
not its frame (otherwise on GTK the cursor is only set
when we get a request for it from the WM and not immediately).
Fixes https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/issues/6421
Before, it was possible for the canvas to steal the
focus if the cursor was only moved over it and not
clicked. Now, the canvas will only take the focus if
the frame is active.

This is under the supposition that we can't set the column widths
on some Mac instances because the host controls haven't yet been
created. This is primarily conjecture based on looking at things
that have the *possibility* of going wrong. Why this only happens
in some installs is beyond me.

After commit 9535153f9e there were no more IDs inside the legacy ID
system. Therefore the entire system for dispatching and looking up
the legacy ideas and handling those events can now be removed and
the tool dispatcher simplified (it no longer needs to know about
the ACTIONS class).
We don't have a migration handler that can resolve conflicts
and tell the difference between hotkey changes that KiCad made
that we want users to adapt to, and hotkey changes made by the
user.
So, the least-bad option for 6.0 is to just not migrate old
hotkey config files.
See https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/-/issues/7816
This is hidden behind an advanced configuration setting and is primarily
useful for developers trying to troubleshoot the netlist payload sent
from the board editor to the schematic editor.
Fixes https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/issues/8051
Saying "Import/Export" on the labels when the submenu has "Import"
or "Export" in it is redundant.
Note that we can't just update the action text with the new name,
because that is used in the hotkey list and would become too confusing
without the "Import"/"Export" text.
Before, the layers were always ellipsized if the name was >30
characters, even if the widget was wide enough to display
the full name. Now they are ellipsized when needed (e.g. if
the widget is shrunk small enough).
Fixes https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/issues/1919
The text areas aren't always redrawn when the window is activated
or deactivated, so we need to force a refresh of the text to ensure
it is the correct font color.
This allows for color changes and scaling of the arrow
when the display needs it (e.g. HiDPI displays).
Also make the arrow and text respond to if the window is
active to mimic native controls.
Fixes https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/issues/6042
When the window is not active, the status bar uses disabled text,
so the message panel sticks out because it is then using a different
text color. This is most noticable in dark mode.
Action plugin authors can specify alternative icon path for dark theme.
If it's not specified then standard icon will be used for both light and
dark themes. If neither icon is specified then the default puzzle piece
icon is used.

Use the KICAD_DATA build-time variable to determine the default stock
library search path on Linux instead of relying on DEFAULT_INSTALL_PATH
in combination with hardcoded folder names. The search logic for Windows
and macOS is refactored but remains unchanged.
It is not always useful to distinguish between the cases when KiCad is
run from the build or the installation directory. E.g., the libraries
are generally not available in the same path as the code. Make the
evaluation of KICAD_RUN_FROM_BUILD_DIR conditional to accomodate these
scenarios.
1) Accept <enter> as OK if the multiline textbox isn't shown.
2) Focus and select all in first control if multiline textbox isn't shown.
3) Make title be title caps ("Edit Sheet name Field" looked dorky).

If we keep doing design validations at two different places, they can
only start to drift apart. Board Setup should validate for malformed
data ONLY; everything else is the business of DRC.
This also fixes a bug where implementation validations would not allow
OK in the dialog, but wouldn't put up a message to say why. We now use
the InfoBar impl from Jon's commit for that.
Bitmaps are now identified by an enum class instead of by pointers.
Bitmap loading and caching is now handled by a class in common, and
we no longer compile most bitmaps into the binary, so there is no
longer a bitmaps static library.
Instead, bitmaps are archived to a .tar.gz file which is installed
in ${KICAD_DATA}/resources/images.tar.gz
The source PNGs are checked in to Git as the original CPP files were,
so that people can build without the required dependencies to convert
SVGs to PNGs.
Initial support is also added for dark theme icons, although this
is not yet exposed in the GUI.
Stubs are present for multi-resolution image resources, but this is
not fully-baked yet and could use some refinement.
Updates the Serbian language code from sr_RS to sr. This appears to
work as intended under Debian whereas the full code, despite existing in
the i18n directory was not recognized by wxWidgets or Weblate.
When updating the libtree, we modify the tree multiple times to avoid
crashes on Linux. These generated events that buffered while the widget
was frozen and resulted in redrawing the same footprint 4-10x.
This reduces the buffering by discarding events that are generated
during the freeze and only redrawing when there is a new footprint to
draw
CHANGED: If the user selected a footprint and then invoked drag from the
RMB menu, the footprint would warp to the mouse center (if set in
preferences) instead of the mouse warping to the footprint center.
There was a call to 'WarpCursor' that was coming after the menu had been
closed and the mouse had already warped to the footprint center. This made
the footprint jump instead to the old mouse position.
This MR removes the call to 'WarpMouse' and prevents the footprint
from warping to the mouse.

The move tool can stack on others, so when we re-enter the previous tool
this caused another immediate action. We flag re-entry in the tool

Previous assumption of 100mil grid in CADSTAR schematic designs has
been proven to be incorrect. Let's use the "working grid" in the
original design instead.
- Rename member variable names to use the 'm_' prefix
- Rename a few object types that clashed with KiCad object names, such
as BOARD and SCHEMATIC, to avoid the use of '::' to access the KiCad

Vertex memory allocation uses malloc and realloc without checking the
result. Throw exceptions that can be caught in the DoRepaint() method
in EDA_DRAW_PANEL_GAL when malloc and realloc return a null pointer.
Add a reset button that will only show up if the user
edits the JSON configuration for grids. This is a temporary
measure until we have a real grid editor GUI in V7.

When switching schematics that causes an error message (for example if
the schematic needs repair), wx can refresh in between view updates,
leading to a null preview.
On mac, the backspace key is commonly used from removing items. The
forward delete key doesn't really exist (it is hidden behind
fn-backspace), so this modifies our common use of delete. The
context-dependent usage in router and polygon creation are unaffected as
CONTEXT overrides GLOBAL when processing
* Fix multi line text alignment.
* Parse schematic frame objects and convert them to lines.
* Make implicit global labels normal size so they can easily be seen.
* Move sheet fields to a more sensible position.
* Parse schematic symbol instances before wires so that the implicit power
connections can properly be tested. This will be used at a later time.
* Scale label text size down to allow for differences in label offset and
graphical items.
For some kinds of issues, we want a way to point them out but
we don't need to keep the user from being able to close the
dialog. A separate Validate button lets the user check for
issues if desired, but these issues are not "fatal" and can
be ignored if the user wishes.
The automatic wire tool was not working in the gridless mode because the
grid snapping on/off logic present in `EE_GRID_HELPER`, based on the
value of `m_enableGrid`, was not taking into account that another check,
but for the global KiCad setting, would be performed in the `Align()`
method, which is inherited from `GRID_HELPER`.
I've modified all tests of `m_enableGrid` value to also take the global
setting into account, and moved checks for it to `Align()` method, as
it's more consistent this way.
I've also removed an override of the `Align()` method in the
`PCB_GRID_HELPER` class, as it was made redundant by my changes.

We don't use e-mail addresses for contributors in the about box these
days. The field is re-purposed as an optional additional field to allow

The variable `m_Initialized` in `BASE_SCREEN` is used by
`SCH_EDIT_FRAME` to mark whether a screen had its zoom level initialized
by the "zoom to fit screen" action. When this variable is `false`, the
function `SCH_EDIT_FRAME::DisplayCurrentSheet()` performs "zoom to fit
screen", modifying the zoom level. This function is indirectly called in
the undo routines, so if `m_Initialized` is not set to `true`, a zoom
change will occur when the user undoes an operation, a behavior that is
undesired.
`m_Initialized` was not initialized to `true` for the null schematic
(the schematic that is loaded if no project is loaded), causing the
aforementioned undesired behavior.
To prevent this, I've changed the `SCH_EDIT_FRAME` constructor to set
`m_Initialized` to `true`, since it zooms to fit screen already. I've
moved `m_Initialized` from `BASE_SCREEN` to `SCH_SCREEN`, as it is used
only in Eeschema, and renamed it to `m_zoomInitialized`, a name I
believe that better describes what this variable does.
I've also introduced the function `SCH_EDIT_FRAME::initScreenZoom()` to
group the "zoom to fit screen" action with setting `m_Initialized` to
`true`, as they often should occur together.
I'd also like to say that I'm not confident whether
`SCH_EDIT_FRAME::DisplayCurrentSheet()` should perform the zoom level
initialization at this point, but I have decided to not change this
behavior for now, as the commit history suggests it's several years old.

These aperture macros were previously used but only for chamfered round rect.
They are now also used for custom pads (previously drawn as regions).
They are also optimized, i.e. only one aperture macro is created for a given shape.
(previously, one aperture macro was created for each chamfered round rect pad.)
So now all pads are flashed.
New strategy isolates all draw/don't draw decisions to the ViewGetLOD
routines, and all dimmed/not dimmed to PCB_RENDER_SETTINGS::GetColor.
The actual drawing in PCB_PAINTER is more-or-less conditon free.
Also adds new layers for pad and via hole walls so that they can be
controlled for high-contrast mode.
Also changes the drawing paradigm so that the pads are drawn even when
not on the high contrast layer, just in low contrast. The hole wall
is drawn in high contrast. This actually makes things clearer to the
user (although to be honest was done to keep from having to re-render
pads when the high contrast layer changes since we have two separate
layers now that we can adjut colours on).

The BuildSteps folder now contains the CMake scripts that are

Closing the window while dragging with unsaved changes causes a dialog box, triggering a capture-lost event. Closing the window while dragging without unsaved changes causes an assertion about destroying a window with mouse capture.
The Boost UUID random generator can throw an entropy error in the KIID

These dialogs don't have growable features but do have conditional
features, so the size is better adjusted automatically by the code
then by the user.
So many things can go wrong with this control in GTK. We have to
collapse the tree when updating the search string to avoid a crash when
referencing a child object but collapsing the tree will iterate over
elements and crash when we have deleted a symbol.
The temporary fix for this nonsense is to carefully order the calls.
We only need to collapse the search tree if we are not keeping our state
(in other words if we are fully re-building the tree)

wxFile is dangerous, it's ::Write method is a direct map to the write syscall. It does not handle partial writes!

wxTextFile is fine for reads however.
