CHANGED: Symbol chooser search now considers custom symbol fields
Visible columns can be controlled in database libraries.
In standard KiCad libraries, we show columns for all custom fields for now.
Customizable column visibility will be added in the future.
Fixes https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/-/issues/11946
Sub-libraries allow a single-level hierarchy inside a symbol library.
This is useful for database libraries and for supporting other EDA library types where a
single file can contain multiple logical groupings of symbols.
This change completely removes the LIB_ALIAS design pattern an replaces
it by allowing LIB_PART objects to inherit from other LIB_PART objects.
The initial implementation only allows for single inheritance and only
supports the mandatory fields in the derived part because that is all
that the current symbol library file format will support. Once the new
file format is implemented and saving to the old file format is deprecated,
more complex inheritance will be added. The LIB_ALIAS information saved
in the document files was move into the LIB_PART object. This change
impacts virtually every part of the schematic and symbol library editor
code so this commit message is woefully incomplete.
REMOVE: Removed the symbol aliases concept from the schematic and symbol
editors and the symbol viewer.
NEW: Replace the symbol alias concept with simple inheritance that allows
a library symbol to be derived from another library symbol.
Remove the placeholders for the upcoming s-expression schematic and
symbol library file format plugin type. The lack of a valid plugin
implementation was causing an undefined plugin type string in the
plugin type selection cell when new rows were added to the table.

Simplify some of the library editing code. There have been a few minor
changes in the behavior of the editor. If the current symbol is deleted
from the library, the next symbol in the library is not loaded. The
deleted symbol is cleared and the current symbol is empty.
Change component to symbol to align with the preferred terminology
discussed on the developer's mailing list.
Add separate update UI event for save library as to enable the menu entry
whenever a library is selected.
Change the select symbol list dialog to a single column using the LIB_ID
format LIB_NICKNAME:LIB_ITEM_NAME so that the selection can be parsed by
LIB_ID.
Add method to expand URI to LIB_TABLE_BASE.
Override wxApp::OnExceptionInMainLoop() in debug builds to make debugging
easier when an unhandled exception occurs in a wxUpdateUIEvent handler.
Change SCH_SCREENS::HasNoFullyDefinedLibIds() to return false when the
schematic has no symbols to prevent the remapping dialog from being run.
Use SCH_COMPONENT part reference when creating netlist rather than looking
up the library symbol.
Remove all instances of PART_LIBS and replace them with SYMBOL_LIB_TABLE
except for the CMP_TREE_MODEL_ADAPTER which requires updating as well.
Return the selected symbol using the LIB_NICKNAME:SYMBOL_NAME format when
viewer is launched as modal.
Add code to SYMBOL_LIB_TABLE object to allow enumerating symbol library
power symbols only.
Add a non-const version of LIB_TABLE::findRow().
Remove redundant information from Doxygen comments.
Check the if the schematic being loaded has been remapped (no symbol
library table nicknames defined) and remap accordingly.
Fix issues when resolving the library symbol links in the schematic
symbols.
Add cache library fallback when resolving symbols that cannot be
remapped.
Add remap complete message to remap dialog.
Add HasLibrary() helper to LIB_TABLE_BASE.
Fix issues when loading library symbols using symbol library table.
Add hashing function to symbol library table.
Improve the symbol panel message to warn user when cache library is
used to resolve symbol.
Create a new dialog to edit global and project specific symbol library
tables.
Add menu entries for new symbol library table editor in schematic editor
and symbol library editor main frame menus.
Add command event handler for symbol library table editor dialog to
SCH_BASE_FRAME so it is accessible from derived frames.
Fix bug in default environment variables initialization. A test for
existing user defined environment variables was preventing any new
default environment variables added to the list from being initialized.
Create a dialog to give the user options to configure the global symbol
library table the first time Eeschema is run when no global symbol library
table exists.
Add Resolve() and ResolveAll() methods the SCH_COMPONENT object to use the
symbol library table to obtain links to the library symbols.
Add LoadAlias() method to SYMBOL_LIB_TABLE to find an alias by it's LIB_ID.
Clean up Doxygen comments to match coding policy changes.
Add loading symbol library table code to schematic PROJECT object.
Fix minor issues with loading global symbol library table.
Add default symbol library path environment variable to the environment
variable list and change the variable name to KICAD_SYMBOL_DIR.
Add code to SCH_SCREENS to test if all library nicknames of the symbol
library IDs are empty.
Remove unnecessary KICAD_USE_SCH_IO_MANAGER build option.
Add SCH_PLUGIN object to PART_LIB object.
Convert all PART_LIB I/O to use SCH_PLUGIN.
Remove library caching from PART_LIB and use caching provided by SCH_PLUGIN.
Add support to use PROPERTIES for buffering and document file write control
instead of adding code the SCH_PLUGIN object in the SCH_LEGACY_PLUGIN that
will not be required when the new file formats are implemented.
Add buffering to SCH_LEGACY_PLUGIN to prevent cache from writing file on
every change to library. This is to prevent the cache library from being
written every time a new symbol is added.
Add option to not save library document file when saving library. This is
primarily used by the cache library write code.
Move symbol library write code out of LIB_PART and into SCH_LEGACY_PLUGIN.
Add exception handling where LIB_PART caught the exception and returned
an error status.
Remove KICAD_SCH_IO_MANAGER build option as it is no longer optional.
Rename FPID to LIB_ID as is now used as a generic library identifier and
is no longer specific to footprints.
Remove all mention of footprint from the new LIB_ID doxygen comments and
code.
Rename files fpid.h and fpid.cpp to lib_id.h and lib_id.cpp.
Rename fp_lib_table.keywords file to lib_table.keywords and adjust CMake
build dependencies accordingly.
Update all source files effected by the code and file name changes.
Update .gitignore for file name changes.
Create SYM_LIB_TABLE and SYMBOL_LIB_TABLE_ROW objects derived from LIB_TABLE
and LIB_TABLE_ROW respectively for supporting symbol library tables.
Add FPID member to LIB_PART for associating a symbol to a specific library
nickname. Please note, this is not used in any way at this time and will be
implemented when the symbol library table is actually implemented.
Add sym_lib_table keyword to keywords file. This is a temporary measure
until a more elegant method for parsing and formatting library tables can
be implemented.
Build FPID support in the common library instead of the pcbcommon library
for use in Eeschema.
