It should help if (or when) the internal angle unit used in kicad will be changed from 0.1 degree (a relic of code written for PCs without fpu) to degree ( a more natural unit).
* Clean up formatting and make OK button the default in the array dialog.
* Make the OK button the default in the move exact dialog.
* Change the directory picker control from wxGenericDirCtrl to wxDirPickerCtrl so the native
directory picker dialog is used to select the directory in the select pretty library path dialog.
* Make the OK button the default in the select pretty library path dialog.
*) 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.
* in file/library save as..., remove option to save a lib under the legacy format (which is not possible and creates an error message)
* if the current loaded lib is a legacy lib, when the user try to save or delete a footprint, displays a message which explains what the user should do.
* add a suitable dialog to select/create a .pretty folder library (a file dialog or a dir dialog coming from wxWidgets is not friendly usable.)
