CHANGED: All mandatory fields in derived symbols can be edited. This
not only includes the field value but also all text properties.
Kill the dual datasheet variable storage which caused many datasheet
bugs over the years. The datasheet is now always stored in the data
sheet field.
In order allow the new file format to support derived symbols with
field properties that are different than the parent symbol, the code
that copied the parent field properties to the derive symbol field
properties had to moved out of LIB_PART::SetParent() into the legacy
symbol library plugin and the symbol library editor add new symbol
code to preserve the current behavior and not overwrite derived
symbol field properties.
This lays the ground work for allowing field properties of derived
symbols to be different than their parent symbol.
CHANGED: The symbol library save menu entry is now only enable when the
currently selected library is modified.
CHANGED: The symbol library save all menu entry and tool bar button are
enabled when one or more of the symbol libraries have been modified.
REMOVED: The ability to save symbol libraries in the legacy file format.
* Move it to a panel along with the canvas to have a better UI
* Allow the infobar to automatically close after a set time
CHANGED: The eeschema find notifications now use the infobar instead of
a popup window
This is a very large and potentially disruptive change so this will be an
unusually long and detailed commit message.
The new file formats are now the default in both the schematic and symbol
library editors. Existing symbol libraries will be saved in their current
format until new features are added to library symbols. Once this happens,
both the legacy schematic and symbol file formats will be no longer be
savable and existing libraries will have to be converted. Saving to the
legacy file formats is still available for round robin testing and should
not be used for normal editing.
When loading the legacy schematic file, it is imperative that the schematic
library symbols are rescued and/or remapped to valid library identifiers.
Otherwise, there will be no way to link to the original library symbol and
the user will be required manually set the library identifier. The cached
symbol will be saved in the schematic file so the last library symbol in
the cache will still be used but there will be no way to update it from the
original library.
The next save after loading a legacy schematic file will be converted to
the s-expression file format. Schematics with hierarchical sheets will
automatically have all sheet file name extensions changed to .kicad_sym
and saved to the new format as well.
Appending schematics requires that the schematic to append has already been
converted to the new file format. This is required to ensure that library
symbols are guaranteed to be valid for the appended schematic.
The schematic symbol library symbol link resolution has been moved out of
the SCH_COMPONENT object and move into the SCH_SCREEN object that owns the
symbol. This was done to ensure that there is a single place where the
library symbol links get resolved rather than the dozen or so different
code paths that previously existed. It also removes the necessity of the
SCH_COMPONENT object of requiring any knowledge of the symbol library table
and/or the cache library.
When opening an s-expression schematic, the legacy cache library is not
loaded so any library symbols not rescued cannot be loaded. Broken library
symbol links will have to be manually resolved by adding the cache library
to the symbol library table and changing the links in the schematic symbol.
Now that the library symbols are embedded in the schematic file, the
SCH_SCREEN object maintains the list of library symbols for the schematic
automatically. No external manipulation of this library cache should ever
occur.
ADDED: S-expression schematic and symbol library file formats.
* Push all sizing operations into EDA_BASE_FRAME
* Save the unmaximized window size when maximizing
so that we can then save it in the config if the
window is maximized. Otherwise the config ends up
with the maximized size saved, and weird behavior
occurs when unmaximizing on the next opening.
Now only reposition a window if it is completely on a
disconnected display or if only one corner is on screen
and it is within a region close to the screen border.
CHANGED: Window position on startup should be preserved more
I imagine this was inserted to ensure the selected item is visible,
but selecting the item does that. SyncLibraries() rebuilds the
entire tree, causing it to lose the user's scroll position.
Fixes https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/issues/4020
CHANGES: Symbol library file format has been converted to s-expressions.
Add support code for picking apart symbols at some future junction that
will allow full inheritance conversion of existing symbol libraries. For
now, symbols arranged by unit and body style numbers are nested for round
robin testing of symbol libraries once the parser is complete.
CHANGED: Settings are now stored in versioned sub-directories
ADDED: First-run dialog for migrating settings from a previous version
CHANGED: Settings are now stored as JSON files instead of wxConfig-style INI files
CHANGED: Color settings are now all stored in a separate settings file
CHANGED: The symbol editor and footprint editor now have their own settings files
CHANGED: Color settings are no longer exposed through BOARD object
CHANGED: Page layout editor now uses Eeschema's color scheme
Settings are now managed through a central SETTINGS_MANAGER held by PGM_BASE.
Existing settings will be migrated from the wxConfig format on first run of each application.
Per-application settings are now stored in one class for each application.
dynamic_cast could not resolve the cast chain leading to a null undo
point. Since we know the item to be LIB_ITEM, we can use static_cast
anyway and avoid the overhead.
Fixes#3771 | https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/issues/3771
* Ensure the lib edit undo checks for pointer validity
* Assert that the frames are the correct type (satisfies coverity)
* Convert C casts to C++ casts
Add try/catch blocks when saving symbols using a plugin object directly
to prevent potential unhandled exception bugs. I'm not totally happy
using wxLogError to flag exceptions but I couldn't think of a better way
to handle them.
