Our menu bar code is interestingly complex. But we were throwing away newly made menu items to the void in the cases of constructed on the fly submenus
ADDED Paste Special... action in pcbnew
CHANGED Additional options for Paste Special... in eeschema, including
"Assign unique reference designators to pasted instance"
Loading this advanced configuration option statically will cause it to
show up in the hotkey list even when the option is disabled. Creating
the tool action at run time resolves this issue.
This is hidden behind an advanced configuration setting and is primarily
useful for developers trying to troubleshoot the netlist payload sent
from the board editor to the schematic editor.
Fixes https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/issues/8051
The ACTION_MENU constructor now takes the tool as an argument,
so the call to SetTool() immediately following it can be removed
and the tool just passed into the constructor.
Saying "Import/Export" on the labels when the submenu has "Import"
or "Export" in it is redundant.
Note that we can't just update the action text with the new name,
because that is used in the hotkey list and would become too confusing
without the "Import"/"Export" text.
Bitmaps are now identified by an enum class instead of by pointers.
Bitmap loading and caching is now handled by a class in common, and
we no longer compile most bitmaps into the binary, so there is no
longer a bitmaps static library.
Instead, bitmaps are archived to a .tar.gz file which is installed
in ${KICAD_DATA}/resources/images.tar.gz
The source PNGs are checked in to Git as the original CPP files were,
so that people can build without the required dependencies to convert
SVGs to PNGs.
Initial support is also added for dark theme icons, although this
is not yet exposed in the GUI.
Stubs are present for multi-resolution image resources, but this is
not fully-baked yet and could use some refinement.
We cannot do forward/reverse annotation in Single Top mode because we
depend on shared memory access. This disables the menu options in this
case and replaces the toolbar update pcb icon with the import netlist,
which is more appropriate for single top mode
Fixes https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/issues/7637
The conditions prevent use in immediate mode for common actions. While
this makes enable/disable easier in menu items, this fix is a patch
until we refactor the action framework to distinguish between immediate
mode hotkeys that should start without selections and menu items that
need a selection before running.
Fixes https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/issues/5333
Don't use the same "post_*" icon in the treeview. The badge gives an
action that doesn't apply in the treeview.
Also renames different file blobs to the "file_*" prefix.
- Improve contrast of ratsnest icons by removing blue
- Track icon: make blue as it is a board feature
- Muwave icon: remove handles, make serpentine blue, thicken and pixel align
- New, simplified zone and rule area icons
- Simplify draw tools by removing edit handles/guidelines - improves contrast
- Reorder draw tools in toolbar/menubar to make a little more sense
- Rotate measurement icon (ruler) to match bottom left -> top right
The accelerator strings really shouldn't be part of the translation,
and some translations have cause the accelerator keys to be incorrectly
handled. It is simpler to make it separate and just join them to the
translated string.
Make all accelerator modifiers use lowercased Ctrl instead of CTRL
to be the same as the other modifiers.
Fixes https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/issues/5992
The footprint browser loads much faster than the add a footprint dialog,
so should remain until/unless we fix the loading speed.
This reverts commit 4d8ee4685d.
CHANGED: GetDocumentExtents() in 'eda_draw_frame.h' now has a bool
parameter "aIncludeAllVisible" with a default value "true" which makes
it behave as it did before adding parameter. If "aIncludeAllVisible"
is false, the returned bbox ignores some items depending on which
program it is running in.
CHANGED: Made "Zoom to Objects" use only PCB edge in Pcbnew. This
allows text, notes, etc outside the PCB edge to be excluded in the
zoom calculation.
CHANGED: Added "Zoom to Objects" to Pcbnew main menu, and to RMB context
menus for Eeschema and Pcbnew.
Fixes https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/issues/5787
These objects can now be used in advanced DRC rules and
not just for keeping things out. Also remove the restriction
that at least one of the "basic" keepout rules must be set,
so that these areas can be used for more advanced rules.
Since the commit e8b11c911e, the menu tools->external plugins is empty.
This is because on new system, an added submenu is cloned when added. So any update on the object
after Add it as no effect. The menu stay empty.
With this commit the menu filling is made before adding submenu.
This option removes copper layers from pads and vias where they are not
connected to other board elements. This allows the inner layers to be
more closely routed if the via landing pad is not needed.
Fixes https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/issues/1835
Per discussion on the developers list, this old system
no longer provides much value and is seen as annoying
by many users. The new save logic should prevent any
cases of file corruption on save, which was a major
reason for the backup file system existing.
Fixes https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/-/issues/2012
ADDED new rectangle graphics tool for PCBNew and Footprint Editor.
Also adds rectangle tool to both Footprint Editor and PCBNew Place
menus.
The Aux Origin tool can come back once we have multi-select toobar
buttons.
Also collapses an unnecessary level out of the auxOrigin and gridOrigin
settings.
Fixes https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/issues/2246
The board setup dialog controls DRC error visibility, so the
two dialogs shouldn't be open at the same time to prevent
data contention.
Follow-up to https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/-/issues/4023
Keeping a pointer to the actual file history inside a special
file history menu led to many cases of use after free crashes,
so instead rework the actual file history to add the menu
items.
Fixes https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/issues/3741
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.
ADDED: Back annotation algorithm,
eeschema back annotation dialog
CHANGED: added some minor helper methods to SCH_REFERENCE_LIST and SCH_REFERENCE,
split SCH_REFERENCE_LIST::CheckAnnotation on 2 parts to reuse code
Create an IsContentModified() function in each frame
that provides if the content has been modified, and
use that instead of always copying the checks.
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.
* Push a function into CONDITIONAL_MENU that adds the item
* Modify the tooltip for close and exit items to have the
program name
