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.

It is still possible to move a pad independent of footprint through
the pad properties dialog. This is a much more conscious decision
than using the move tools.
ADDED: "Allow free pads" preference setting in pcbnew, default to off.
When enabled, allows moving unlocked pads independent of the footprint
(i.e. previous behaviour). When disabled (default), any attempt to move
a pad will move the parent footprint instead.
REMOVED: "Lock pads of newly added footprints" preference setting in
pcbnew. (Pad lock state is now loaded from the footprint definition)
CHANGED: There are now only two possible lock states for a footprint:
locked and unlocked. The lock state of the pads in the footprint is
now independent of the footprint lock state.
Also fixed a latent bug that would allow a pad to be moved when the
parent footprint was locked (see m_selectionTool->RequestSelection
lambdas in edit_tool.cpp)

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).
Loading this advanced configuration option statically will cause it to
show up in the hotkey list even when the option is disabled. Creating
the tool action at run time resolves this issue.
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
The ACTION_MENU constructor now takes the tool as an argument,
so the call to SetTool() immediately following it can be removed
and the tool just passed into the constructor.
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.
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.
Looks like comments outside header section can create problems in some readers.
Note: comments inside header section are clearly allowed in Excellon file format)
(trial to fix bug 8032)
KiCad doesn't yet support full padstacks, but at least we can use the
solder mask / solder paste expansion to import a better result. Also
we can disable the specific layer if the shape has a size of zero.
The CADSTAR post processor has a peculiar feature called "route offset"
which effectively shortens tracks when the pad, track or via that it
connects to has a smaller width. This operation is not saved in the
design itself, but applied as a post processing operation meaning that
the importer has to apply it when loading on the board.
Fixes https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/-/issues/6648
SHIFT, CTRL, ALT modifier keys were handled in 2 different codes, one for

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

Fixes#7984
For some reason, the footprint UUID was being prefixed to the sheet path
which caused the symbol look up by sheet path to fail. An option was
added to not do this when the geographical back annotation to the schematic
is performed.
When processing a compound shape we'd decide the first of them didn't
collide and then put false into the cache. The cache value would then
be used for all the other shapes in the compound shape, which very well
might actually collide.

CHANGED: when pad net assignments are changed in a conflicting way (i.e.,
tracks exist that short out more than one net after the change,
track nets will be updated to the net with the most pads).

We were discarding shapes too aggressively for having a
larger area than a shape underneath.
Let's also try showing fewer disambiguation menus, in particular

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.
(In English both were 'Set', but that means our translation framework
won't support two different strings in other languages. Changed to
'Add' and 'Added'.)

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

Stubs are present for multi-resolution image resources, but this is
not fully-baked yet and could use some refinement.
CHANGED: add corner and repeat last command now default to 'I' instead

Old boards were using UNDEFINED_DRILL_DIAMETER value in file for via drill when
the via drill value was the netclass value.
Recent boards always set the via drill to the actual value, but now we need
to be sure always store the drill value, because netclass value is not stored
in the board file. Otherwise the drill value of some (old) vias can be unknown
The rotate mirror actions need to line up with the expectation.
FABMASTER keeps elements board-referenced while KiCad has some elements
referenced to the board and some referenced to the footprint
wxWidgets' UTF8 mode wasn't thread-safe, so we had to put mutex's on
a bunch of string operations, which meant that we couldn't return
references to strings. Now that we no longer use UTF8 mode anywhere
(and the mutex's were removed long ago), using references is a big
performance win in some places.
Between the time the user loads the footprint preview in cvpcb or Add
Footprint in pcbnew, we don't need to verify cache integrity to display
the footprint. We use the cache copy when displaying until we close the
selection window and re-open. This limits our need to iterate over the
full directory on every footprint display.
Alternate solutions for v7 should include looking into libfswatch for
change detection
Timestamps were checked using a different routine than they were
generated with, leading to the cache always being out of date.
This uses the same routine for both. While it iterates over the

When a user clicks on the "Add Component", "Add Power" or "Add Footprint"

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.

First issue: the C++ action plugins list should be cleared so that any
plugins that fail to reload do not hang around on the toolbar.
This is fixed on the C++ side.
Second issue: inner dependencies of plugins that are modules were not

This is fixed on the Python side by keeping track of dependencies and
clearing them out before reloading a module (unfortunately there doesn't
seem to be a way to do this in the standard library)

This change is mainly due to the fact Modal dialogs do not work when our
current tool is the tool used to create new item (text, zone, graphic).

and hangs (cannot be dismissed)
Our quasi modal dialogs have their own event loop and work.

CHANGED: If the user made a selection and then tried dragging it, the
drag would only succeed if the selection contained at least one

This simple commit makes the Pcbnew copy to clipboard operation snap the
obtained cursor position to grid before the anchors are calculated. This
is also the way the move operation has been apparently working so far.
To be clear, this will not remove all cases where the copy reference
point is not aligned to the grid (see the linked Gitlab issue for
details about the problem). This will still occur for zone outlines that
are not axis-aligned. But such behavior has been so far also present in
the moving operation, so this may be as designed.

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 removal of the pcbnew general section was meant for v6 but passed
the deadline. This removes the duplication of thickness. We do not
allow the thickness to be different between nominal and stackup, so
keeping separate text fields is unnecesarily confusing to users
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.

Some CADSTAR designs use zero sized pads because CADSTAR did not allow
arbitrarily assigning pad numbers: they had to be sequential. The
workaround to this was to use zero sized pads. However this causes DRC
errors in KiCad, so we load them just in a mask layer.
1. Make sure to convert to KiCad units
2. There are some KiCad rules that have no CADSTAR equivalent.
Make a guess as to what an appropriate rule could be.
It just means the outline wasn't malformed. It might still be
empty.

couple of slight performance improvements.]

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.

location and has the same size/shape/colours as the Board Setup icon in
PCBNew.

One way to do this would have been to keep the Uuids in the editor
copy. However, this opens us up to errors if we forget a Save As or

restore them if we happen to save the editor footprint back to the

Also changes the drawing paradigm so that the pads are drawn even when
