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.
The pointer passing for display options is deprecated. This removes the
excess casting as the EDA_FRAME didn't need the base call with no value.
All requests for display options are now returned const and are updated
with a Set() routine after modification.
In Gerbview, this resolves an issue where the display options were not
stored because it was receiving the NULL from EDA_FRAME.
The standard DIM() macro was not typesafe as it happily deferred errors
to runtime that can be caught at compile time. Replacing it with a
generic C++11 constexpr allows for typecasting, comparison and compile
time error checking.
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.
Improve dialog layout and fix UI policy issues with all of the dialog
boxes in the Gerbview and Pcbnew code paths.
Updated the use of component to footprint where appropriate.
- New GAL draw layers for GerbView
- Improved bounding boxes for Gerber shapes
- Switched to use of SHAPE_POLY_SET for polygons
- Add GAL methods to support selection and rendering
- Add GUI support of editing GAL options
- Rename get/setActiveLayer to Get/SetActiveLayer to match convention
The motivation here is to concentrate display options in the GAL display
settings, ready for removal of legacy canvases. Instead of having the
property as a member of the DRAW_FRAME, with the GAL canvas retreiving
it from there, it is now in the GAL_DISPLAY_OPTIONS struct, and both GAL
and legacy get it from there.
The options for setting cursor shape are then moved out of the general
options dialog, and into the GAL display options widget, where they can
be used in all GAL-aware programs.
GAL cursor shape works on GAL, but not legacy, so the option is now
available on OSX (but only affects GAL, and is labelled as such).
This feature was not reliably available: neither pl_editor nor GAL supported
it. It has been replaced over the past few commits with a new zoom-to-selection
tool available in all applications and modes.
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.
