Schematic component properties dialog: add 2 helper buttons to manage the chip name (name of the corresponding part in lib)
- a browse button to chose an other chip name
- a test button, to know if the part exists. If not existing, list the parts found when searching using a case insensitive comparison.
However to be compatible with old versions of Eeschema, when a search in library fails, a case insensitive search is made.
Therefore, this version should be compatible with sch files created by previous Eeschema versions compiled with KICAD_KEEPCASE = OFF
* Add hot key handled return indicator to DRAW_FRAME::GeneralControl() and
DRAW_FRAME::OnHotKey() and all classed derived from DRAW_FRAME.
* Add code to all GeneralControl() and OnHotKey() functions to return true if
hot key was handled.
* Call event skip in DRAW_PANEL::OnKeyEvent() when key event is not handled to
allow default menu event handler to function properly.
* Fix Eeschema back annotation bug where footprint field visibility setting was ignored.
* Replace two confusing and ambiguous dialogs with a simple single choice dialog.
Ensure some values initialized by the schematic editor and used by libedit are also initialized in libedit even if the schematic editor was not started.
Remove useless commands (save/load project config) in libedit, because now they have no sense.
This fixes Bug #1360219 (Lost settings in eeschema) and keep separation between code relative to lib management and code relative to preferences.
2 or 3 minor settings could be lost in some designs, but they are very easy to reenter.
* Refresh canvas when user cancels edits so that the discarded sheet is
cleared from the schematic.
* Add file name validation to the sheet properties dialog to prevent
illegal file name characters from being entered into the text control.
* Rename FOOTPRINT_NAME_VALIDATOR to FILE_NAME_CHAR_VALIDATOR for clarity.
* Use clockwise and counterclockwise in menu strings which is less ambiguous than + and -.
* Moved the rotate hot key R to the rotate clockwise menu entry string.
* Patch Boost interlocked.hpp from version 1.56.
* Fix segfault in Eeschema when auto save event occurs before root sheet is initialized.
* Add assertion when SCH_SHEET_PATH::BuildSheetList is called with NULL pointer.
*) 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.
2) LIB_RECTANGLE and related classes sscanf data read from a file using "%s"
without field limits, which can cause problems with malformed/really long
inputs.
3) If some of the optional fields in a lib line are missing, "tmp" can remain
uninitialized.
Remove a minor warning message in Debug mode for 2 dialogs.
Pcbnew: update Gerber X2 file format (File Attribute) to very last X2 specification
Eeschema: Fix a minor bug in block selection (sometimes the last selected component was select instead of items in selected area)
and better drag behavior when draging an item by the drag hotkey.
Also fix incorrect backannotation when footprint names contain spaces (put spaces in names is always a bad idea)
* Fix minor Bug #1349058 Choose component dialog: Search field loses focus after entering a character and internationalize the dialog.
* Fix a subtle bug which prevent eeschema to read the project config file when launched from kicad manager, and when kicad.pro is not found.
2) Change from legacy Cu stack to counting down from top=(F_Cu or 0).
The old Cu stack required knowing the count of Cu layers to make
sense of the layer number when converting to many exported file types.
The new Cu stack is more commonly used, although ours still gives
B_Cu a fixed number.
3) Introduce class LSET and enum LAYER_ID.
4) Change *.kicad_pcb file format version to 4 from 3.
5) Change fixed names Inner1_Cu-Inner14_Cu to In1_Cu-In30_Cu and their
meanings are typically flipped.
6) Moved the #define LAYER_N_* stuff into legacy_plugin.cpp where they
can die a quiet death, and switch to enum LAYER_ID symbols throughout.
7) Removed the LEGACY_PLUGIN::Save() and FootprintSave() functions.
You will need to convert to the format immediately, *.kicad_pcb and
*.kicad_mod (=pretty) since legacy format was never going to know
about 32 Cu layers and additional technical layers and the reversed Cu
stack.
They are now member of EDA_DRAW_FRAME.
This change could fix Bug #1330781 (Background color change in Eeschema affects background color in Pcbnew)
Show page limits has meaning only for the schematic editor, the board editor and the page layout editor.
Draw background color selection exists only in eeschema and page layout editor.
In pcbnew, only a black background is allowed.
A side effect is now the user should set the background color in schematic editor, and the library editor (2 different options).
The default is still the white color.
- Refactored the common part of cursor key movement and crosshair update
in the various GeneralControl
- Add x10 movement with the keyboard (CTRL modifier)
- Avoid fixup of the cursor position by dummy mouse movements generated
by cursor warping (original analysis and idea Chris Gibson)
- Do key handling in a way to permit sub-pixel cursor movement
