- When the Kicad manager is iconized, all other child frames are iconized (normal wxWidgets behavior)
- For viewer frames in modal mode, there is a more annoying issue: they have the wxFLOAT_ON_PARENT frame style on unix, and wxSTAY_ON_TOP on Windows.
wxFLOAT_ON_PARENT frame style is incorrect (although on most WM it works) because the parent frame (Kicad manager Frame) is not the caller. It is usually a main editor frame.
It does not work on Windows (wx STAY_ON_TOP is used).
* Now each editor frame has a null parent.
Therefore iconizing the Kicad manager frame does not iconize other frames.
* Viewer frames have null parent in normal mode and the caller parent in modal mode (therefore wxFLOAT_ON_PARENT frame style is always and correctly used)
* References to opened/closed main frames are no more managed by the (complicated) kicad code. Instead of, a non critical and more easy to understand code just uses FindWindowByName to know if a main window exists or not.
These changes do not fix all issues about Kicad frames brought to the foreground or the background, but it fixes a few issues, and AFAIK do not add other issues.
The functions involved in the problem were PGM_BASE::GetEditorName and
EDA_BASE_FRAME::OnSelectPreferredEditor:
1) OnSelectPreferredEditor showed a dialog to allow the user selecting the
editor, but before that called GetEditorName to get the name of the current
editor (to show as a default in the choose file dialog).
2) The problem was when there was no editor, GetEditorName showed its own
dialog.
3) So the user was seeing first the dialog from (2) and then the dialog from
(1).
4) As GetEditorName is used in many other places the solution I did was to add
to it an optional parameter that tells it what to do if no editor is set. To
avoid modifying other code that relies on the current behaviour, this parameter
has a default value that causes to show the dialog. But now when
OnSelectPreferredEditor calls it, it passes the parameter that causes it to
return an empty string if no editor was set.
5) Also, I found a second bug while doing it which allowed in the first dialog
to select an unexistent file (the dialog was missing the wxFD_FILE_MUST_EXIST
flag).
6) Lastly, to avoid having duplicated code (the one that showed the same dialog
and that configured the wildcard was in two methods) I created a single
function that now both functions call: PGM_BASE::AskUserForPreferredEditor.
This way we also will have consistency in the behaviour of both dialogs and
there is a single place where it needs to be modified.
I tried to merge some constants used both in legacy mode and gal mode (which were, before this patch, separate constants).
There is still a serious work to avoid different calculation code for the same text in draw and plot functions.
Work in progress to merge these calculation functions.
* Dialog copper zones: Always enable thermal shape settings, because even with no thermal, some pads can use thermal option in local pad settings.
* GAL mode: shows page limits in gray color, like in legacy mode, and according to comments in sources.
The standard library requires iterators passed to functions that modify the
container to be mutable iterators, but GCC's implementation accepts
const_iterator in some places where these are only used to mark a place,
but the actual modification happens through a different parameter.
As this breaks implementations that use the passed iterator to modify the
container (e.g. because they use a different data organization), this is
not portable; because we already have a non-const reference to the
container anyway, this is trivially fixed as well.
In the C++ standard, this function is only defined for floating point
types, and integers cannot be implicitly converted. Using explicit
conversions avoids a GCC specific extension to the standard library.
* Dick Hollenbeck also contributed commit r6440. I inadvertently forgot to set
the Bazaar author tag before I committed it. My apologies.
* Switch to static linking of libcurl and on linux and windows and also
statically link in only required portions of openssl.
* Add the required thread locks which openssl needs.
* Remove the get curl version call from BASEFRAME since it pulls in curl and
openssl into every derived wxFrame class link image.
* Remove curl function from PGM_BASE, switch to atexit() instead. Anything in
PGM_BASE made the singletops bigger.
* Tested on Linux, Windows, and OSX.
* Prevent libcurl from inadvertently being initialized twice.
* Dynamically load libcurl only when required.
* Reduce the number of worker threads when loading footprint libraries to
prevent issues with the GitHub plugin.
* Replace the wxListCtrl with a wxTreeListCtrl, allowing expandable categories
in a future change.
* Clean up the code to make HOTKEY_LIST_CTRL function a bit better on its own.
* Migrate the hotkey dialog to TransferData{To,From}Window, use matching
TransferData{To,From}Control methods on HOTKEY_LIST_CTRL so it is easy to
embed.
* Enables USE_WX_GRAPHICS_CONTEXT for OSX by default. This shouldn¡¯t be a
major change because it seems to get used on OSX behind the scenes anyway.
As a side effect, this might improve behavior with anti-aliasing because
KiCad shifts drawing by (0.5, 0.5) into the middle of the virtual pixels so
things may be less blurry. It will still build without enabling
USE_WX_GRAPHICS_CONTEXT, but the optimizations obviously won¡¯t be used.
* The optimizations currently only are effective when USE_WX_GRAPHICS_CONTEXT
is enabled and OSX. They might be also good for other platforms using
USE_WX_GRAPHICS_CONTEXT because it aggregates some drawing primitives using
paths wxGraphicsContext provides.
* It adds some #ifdefs for disabling the wxGraphicsContext stuff when
USE_WX_GRAPHICS_CONTEXT isn¡¯t enabled. If you hate #ifdefs, this also
could be dropped but then it will always check if wxGraphicsContext can be
applied.
* Fix broken ExecuteCommand() when path contains spaces on OSX.
* Only use system defined mime type for PDF files.
* Remove system dependent fallback applications for opening PDF files.
1. Fixed an assumption somebody originally made in the plugin that std::string had contiguous storage. This is not specced behavior pre C++11 so we gamble by calling .reserve() which should give a far better guarantee.
2. Added copy to clipboard information for curl
3. Removed some openssl references in compiling.md
4. Renamed struct vars to be uppercase to match "public var" code style policy
* Create base class EDA_PATTERN_MATCH to hand multiple pattern matching methods.
* Create classes for regular expression and wildcard pattern matching.
* Add new pattern matching semantics to component select dialog.
* Thanks to Henner Zellar <h.zeller@acm.org> for improvments to the original patch.
In polygon calculations (combining polygons, fracture) the mode of calculation (fast or strictly simple polygon option) as no more a default value, because choosing the best mode is better to optimize the calculation time.
Pcbnew: auxiliary axis shape: use the same look as GAL, to be consistent with GAL.
Minor change in dialog_env_var_config (use the wxStdDialogButtonSize for usual OK, Cancel and help buttons)
* Remove duplicate developer credits added in last commit.
* Update developer email addresses.
* Change copyright.h from GPL2+ to GPL3+ per FSF.
* Update newstroke license from CC-BY to CC0 with permission by author
Vladimir Uryvaev which reflects the official license on the newstroke
website http://vovanium.ru/sledy/newstroke/en.
* Coding policy fixes in AboutDialog_main.cpp.
* Component doc: add https as prefix in list of urls which are opened by a Internet browser.
* Import .cmp files: Use "IdModule" instead of "IdModule =" as keyword for footprint name and use '=' only as separator.
* Assuming: a project exists in /a/b/project.pro, and /a/b is symlinked to
/a/c
1. Load /a/b/project.pro
2. Load /a/c/project.pro
Expectation: file name switches to /a/c/project.pro (even though they are
the same file, a user would expect the path to reflect the file selection
they just made)
Reality: file name does not switch
This is because PROJECT::SetProjectFullName() does not do anything if the
path is not changed, and it uses wxFileName::SameAs() to check this. For
some bizarre reason, wxFileName::SameAs compares filesystem inodes rather
than actual paths.
This patch instead creates a second wxFileName from the candidate name in
order to normalize the path, and then compares paths directly. This should
be much more in line with what a user would expect.
* Rename Eda_FileSelector to EDA_FILE_SELECTOR.
* Add optional pointer to wxString to save the most recently used path to EDA_FILE_SELECTOR.
* Rename Eda_DirectorySelector to EDA_PATH_SELECTOR.
* Replace wxGetCwd() with wxStandardPaths::GetDocumentsDir(). This fixes the windows issue
where wxGetCwd() returns the path where the executable files are located.
* Add code to handle most recently used path to EDA_BASE_FRAME.
* Fix string formatting error in kicad/files-io.cpp.
* Remove setting and restoring current working directory when launching GerbView. Setting the CWD
has no effect on the launched executable which starts with it's own CWD.
* Allow project path to be passed to GerbView when launched from KiCad.
* Note: this is a work in progress. Do not expect every path and/or file selection dialog to properly
update the most recently used path. The correct solution to this problem requires a much more
well though out solution which will not happen until after the next stable release.
* SearchHelpFileFullPath(): clean up platform specific path code, add executable path sans bin
directory on non-osx platforms, and move KICAD path variable to the beginning of the search
list.
* Minor search stack debug output improvements.
* If a hotkey is set to "unassigned" (typically by causing a conflict), it
is not loaded correctly. The loader interprets "unassigned" as "keep the
default assignment", which leads to a conflict later that causes an
assertion failure.
* Mainly the wxDialog that was opened when the wizard is created is now no more created by the wizard frame CTOR. On some W.M. it created a serious issue related to the way Event Loops are managed. Now the user has to call it by the toolbar tool.
* 2 settings not saved in config are now saved.
* a few other minor enhancements
* better icon in footprint wizard frame
Remove a few #define relative to the wxWidgets 2.8 version, no more supported.
footprint wizard frame: now shows messages from footprints python scripts. Especially usefull when a parameter is incorrect. Fix also an other issue (IO error) with some scripts which were usint the print command to output messages (now they use the nes message window.
* Push center on zoom, use middle mouse button to pan, limit panning, and
pan while moving object settings from schematic editor to symbol library
editor and symbol library viewer child windows.
* Push center on zoom, use middle mouse button to pan, limit panning, and
pan while moving object settings from board editor to footprint library
editor and footprint library viewer child windows.
Fix an issue when a .kicad_pcb file contains an incorrect fpid ( containing a '/ ' in footprint section ) . After saving the board the file was no more readable, due to a broken fpid saved in file
(can happens in old .kicad_pcb files, coming from the bzr 4022 stable version, and/or in files converted from an other EDA tool like altium)
Fix 2 very minor coverity warnings.
* Remove ENVIRONMENT_VARIABLE_CHAR_VALIDATOR::OnChar() because it was skipping
the filtering of the first character. Not sure what was going but this seemed to fix the issue.
* Added environment variable name test to DIALOG_ENV_VAR_CONFIG::TransferDataFromWindow
because apparently validators do not get called in wxGrids even whe the extend window style
wxWS_EX_VALIDATE_RECURSIVELY is set.
* Set the default button using wxFormBuilder since the OK button is not part of a wxStdDialogButtonSizer.
* Minor improvements to the HTML help dialog.
* Fix assertion when calling HTML help dialog. Apparently any dialog derived from DIALOG_SHIM must
have a KIWAY top level window as a parent.
In 3D viewer, this option can take a *very long* calculation time (minutes instead of seconds, or hangs) and they are now using aFastMode = true to do polygon calculations, especially for zones inside zones belong to the same net but having different priority (which creates weak polygons).
aFastMode = false is the default for other calculations (zone filling) as before.
* Add code to allow each editing window it's own undo/redo count.
* Add code to allow for infinite undo/redo when count is set to 0.
* Add edit control to all editing windows general options dialog for
user configuration of undo/redo count.
* Add code to save and restore undo/redo count for each editing window.
* Update cross-hair position when using mouse wheel to pan.
* Add ugly hack when mouse cursor enters canvas to force the cross-hair visibility counter
back to zero. There was a bug on Windows when using the middle mouse button to pan
and the user released the middle mouse button off of the canvas, the cross-hair would no
longer be displayed until the window was closed and reopened.
* Use CMake add_custom_target() to run WriteVersionHeader.cmake as a command.
* Modify WriteVersionHeader.cmake to be run as a command instead of a macro.
* Add version header creation as a CMake common library build dependency.
* Add cached CMake variable KICAD_BUILD_VERSION when build version is defined during
configuration.
Add a minor change in dialog_shim only for OSX. (force raising the dialog).
Very minot other fixes: coverity warnings, better message in debug mode in baord outlines calculations.
