CHANGED: KiCAD allows connecting components directly together in
schematics. If the user drags one of the components, KiCAD
adds a wire to keep the conection intact. It should do the same for
net and global labels but it doesn't.
This MR adds net and global labels to the list of items that can connect
to other items.
Fixes https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/issues/7713
Junctions should only be wire endings when ending directly on the wire.
This is the requirement for netlisting, so we need to follow it in the
auto-end as well.
SCH_LABEL needs to allow ending because any wire that touches the label
will be connected, so there's a use case for this. However, the
bounding box for local labels did not include their connection point, so
we increase that box a bit. Note that this might have the opposite
effect to https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/-/issues/7689

CHANGED: BOM generator plugins are no longer loaded by
searching all plugin directories; instead a
fixed default set of plugins is provided.
Also:
- Move from sexpr to JSON
- Support both full-path and no-path specifications of plugins
- Add a Reset to Defaults button to reset the list

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
stack to check for this and avoid unexpected tool starts
I think the guessSelectionCandidates narrows down to a single item
in 99.9% of cases, so we can probably remove this entirely. But for
now it's safer just to fix it.
When a user clicks on the "Add Component", "Add Power" or "Add Footprint"
icon, they want to add the item. Requiring an extra click on the screen
before selecting the component/footprint is not needed.
We cannot do forward/reverse annotation in Single Top mode because we
depend on shared memory access. This disables the menu options in this
case and replaces the toolbar update pcb icon with the import netlist,
which is more appropriate for single top mode

Rewrite of the calculation to convert CADSTAR to KiCad coordinates,
rounding half way cases away from zero.
Use integer division instead of double, to ensure precision.
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
objects.
- Remove some unused code.
Original architecture was to pass KICAD_T in to specify what kind of
object you wanted. That didn't work well with things like cursor
shape so it was moved to setting booleans based on the ACTION. When
I cleared out the old KICAD_T stuff I missed one case where it was
still used. That is now corrected as well.

Each symbol unit in eeschema has a unique identifier. But we don't have
a unique identifier for the entire symbol. So changing which symbol
instance was unit A (our default base for matching), changed the UUID
that we were using to match the footprints.
This commit adds all UUIDs to the netlist, allowing us to match symbol
to footprint without worrying about which unit is referenced.
This still does not handle changing different units on different sheets.
Fixes https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/issues/7604
Values entered by the user will be lost and the schematic can be broken.
This is especially true for generic components.
Add also a tool tip for this option.
Also allows some symbol lib operations when we know the context even
if the library itself isn't selected. (For instance, select a symbol,
copy, paste.)
* 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.
cacheLib() can cause a re-load event, which requires the C-locale.
LOCALE_IO needs to be set before this event to prevent mistaken ','/'.'

Adds ability to start new commit to eeschema, allowing all
AddItemsToUndoList to always append without foreknowledge. Keeps newly

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.
Fixes https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/issues/7402
Fixes an issue on some designs that would not be able to find the
symbol definition referenced by the part due to different
capitalisation of the symbol name in the part definition and
the symbol definition.
Use terminal pin number (i.e. from the symbol definition) when the pin
number is undefined in the part.
This fixes a bug that resulted in symbols with "0" as the pin numbers.
- Load Fields in the library items as well as schematic instances
- Remove invalid characters (e.g. '\n', '\t', '\r') in fields
- Load footprint field (assume that the footprint library name
is the same as the filename of the schematic)
For unknown reasons, the move tool was not clearing the stack when
called from the edit tool. This moves the call to move tool to after
clearing the edit tool from the stack. The move tool handles cleanup,
so we skip the original reason for waiting on the move tool before
finalizing the edit tool routines
Fixes https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/issues/7481
In some cases selecting a field to change its value make this value invisible.
It happens until the dialog is resized, so I am guessing there is a problem
when initializing sizers settings.
Some differences are due to difference between libraries being files
in symbol editor and directories in footprint editor, but this unifies
most of the rest.
It also dispenses with the save-to-library vs save-to-document distinction
in the GUI because it makes for too much variability in the GUI, was
implemented differently between the two editors, and isn't needed as much
anymore now that we have the highly visible infobar.
There was also an issue that the save-to-board icon occupies the same
location and has the same size/shape/colours as the Board Setup icon in
PCBNew.

Starting a new action (to add junctions) will break the move tool loop
and cancel placement. We need to wait until the tool completes before
choosing where to place the junctions

While editing the grid works on OSX, it doesn't appear to on MSW or

The conditions prevent use in immediate mode for common actions. While
this makes enable/disable easier in menu items, this fix is a patch
until we refactor the action framework to distinguish between immediate
mode hotkeys that should start without selections and menu items that
need a selection before running.

Tests for read-only in table save routines and catches other IO_ERRORS.
Still returns a non-specific error message but prevents crashing when
erroring during save.

This also makes sure that the user gets a warning before saving over
an older s-expr format. While that won't always be wanted, it's now
in the infobar (like in PCBNew), so it's not too onerous.§

Due to a truncation when converting a value to integer, the first point was

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.

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).
Fixes https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/issues/7328
Without this commit, when `currentPlotWindow()` returned a valid
pointer, but one that is not used as a key in `m_plots`, it would get
inserted to the `m_plots` map. Because this pointer was not properly
initialized, a crash would later occur. I think this problem was
triggered by the pointer to welcome page, but I haven't checked.

Forcing grid snap for the kick-start behavior loses snaps to pins that
