Includes some dialog changes to go with the menu update.
Includes promoting the Pcbnew graphics mode back to main menu.
Includes renaming Graphics modes to Toolsets.
Major cleanup of many icons (started as a simple effort to tweak libedit and modedit icons)
Ref: https://lists.launchpad.net/kicad-developers/msg32860.html
* Each application icon has been updated
* Consolidated icon "modifiers" across many icons
* Replaced confusing arrows with "load" and "save" icons
* Slight code updates to reference correct icons
* Consolidate multiple representations of single icon type(s)
This is meant as a stopgap for 5.0, with plans to add proper scaled
icons in the 6.0 cycle. A function KiScaledBitmap() is added, which
works like KiBitmap() except it scales the bitmap according to the
calling window's font size. Controls have been added to all the main
applications to let the user select scaling manually (these were omitted
from smaller apps that didn't already have a place to put them).
In addition, in eeschema only, the pixel height of the system font is
shown in the options dialog for diagnostics. This is only for collecting
feedback before 5.0 release from users with different displays and will
be removed.
Replace all instances of "component" and "part" with "symbol" when
referring to schematic and library symbols.
Replace all instances of "component" with "footprint" when referring to
board and library footprints.
Minor dialog layout fixes to some of the dialogs impacted by the UI
string changes.
Removed cut & copy toolbar icons in the schematic editor, as they
were inaccessible. One cannot have an item selected and move the
mouse outside the canvas area due to autopanning.
Added paste icon to the library editor.
The zoom window toolbar button is on the right toolbar separated from the
other zoom buttons on the top toolbar. Move the zoom window button to the
top toolbar beside the other zoom buttons.
- Allows grouping of matched components
- Bulk edit of components in a spreadsheet window
- User can choose to save / undo changes
- All changes are pushed to the undo stack in a single operation
- Export table to HTML / CSV output
bitmaps.h was included in nearly every file in the project due to it
being included by base_struct.h
Only about 130 files actually use the XPM definitions defined there, and
many of those already included bitmaps.h themselves, or via
menu_helpers.h. However, touching bitmaps.h would result in over 400
rebuilt files for pcbnew alone.
This commit moves the bitmap-related types like BITMAT_DEF out to a new
header, which is still included by base_struct.h, which is less
avoidable for now, it's it's used in the interface.
The icon list is still in bitmaps.h. This has the side effect that's
it's now easier to automatically generate this file.
Many classes in pcbnew and eeschema needed some functions moved
to the implementaitons from the headers too.
- Put the output generation steps (annotation through pcbnew) in the
correct order as expected by the user running through them.
- Add a Plot button to match pcbnew
This feature cannot work reliably for reasons explained in lp:1463505. Remove
the option on OS X builds and force cursor to the small one.

* Enable CvPcb launching in stand alone mode.
* Enable footprint editor launching in stand alone mode.
* Remove some dead code left over from the change in CvPcb behavior.
* These changes were made for users who prefer to work in a less project-
centric work flow. KiCad should not be in the business of dictating
work flow whenever possible.
* Enable and disable save schematic button and menu entry depending on
modification status.
* Add toolbar and menu entries for leaving sheet.
* Enable and disable leave sheet menu entry and toolbar when in root sheet
or descended into the hierarchy.
* Remove global s_NetObjectslist.
* Separate out non-owning version of NETLIST_OBJECTS_LIST into NETLIST_OBJECTS.
* Fix double free pertaining to ~NETLIST_READER().
* Remove all file-io from CvPCB.
* Remove exe launcher cvpcb, retain only cvpcb.kiface, since cvpcb.kiface has no file i/o.
* Add void CVPCB_MAINFRAME::KiwayMailIn( KIWAY_EXPRESS& mail ) and teach it to use old
netlist loading code with a STRING_LINE_READER LINE_READER.
* Fix BEGIN_EVENT_TABLE( CVPCB_MAINFRAME, KIWAY_PLAYER )
* move not shared files (sch_item_struct.*, sch_base_frame.h) to eeschema;
* move wxEeschemaStruct.h to eeschema and rename it schframe.h to be consistent with the other corresponding file name schframe.cpp;
* remove few not needed #include
* Change Read to Load in Pcbnew and Eeschema preference menus.
* Make electrical rules check status bar message the same for both the menu
and toolbar entries.
*) 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.
*) Eeschema can now show the footprint editor.
*) Eeschema can now invoke the footprint picker from the library part field editor.
*) KIWAY_PLAYER::ShowModal() takes aResultantFocusWindow that tells what window
to give the focus to. Required since frames are often near the top of the
hierarchy and they are invoked by a peer, not a parent.
* Enhance class PLUGIN's comments to improve their value as instructional.
* Switch #includes from "file.h" to <file.h>, and fiddle with search paths
by using include_directories(BEFORE ...)
* dialog_page_settings did not have symmetrical space on its right border.
And it now remembers it last position and size within a program session.
* base_screen.cpp is now compiled twice, once for {pcbnew,cvpcb} and once
for eeschema, in preparation for "compile time" support of internal units
rather than "runtime" support.
