The new s-expression format embeds the library within the file
so there should be no connectivity issues (unless they were present
in the original design).
This fixes a potential issue with EAGLE imported schematics.
Prevents creating unnecessary project files when importing
Non KiCad schematics.
Also clarified that empty.kicad_wks is required for all importers
(not just EAGLE).
Create a new project when running eeschema standalone and importing
a non-KiCad Project.
If we have the project manager open, then we instead use the existing
project and load everything there.
This also makes sure that the user gets a warning before saving over
an older s-expr format. While that won't always be wanted, it's now
in the infobar (like in PCBNew), so it's not too onerous.§

The variable `m_Initialized` in `BASE_SCREEN` is used by
`SCH_EDIT_FRAME` to mark whether a screen had its zoom level initialized
by the "zoom to fit screen" action. When this variable is `false`, the
function `SCH_EDIT_FRAME::DisplayCurrentSheet()` performs "zoom to fit
screen", modifying the zoom level. This function is indirectly called in
the undo routines, so if `m_Initialized` is not set to `true`, a zoom
change will occur when the user undoes an operation, a behavior that is
undesired.
`m_Initialized` was not initialized to `true` for the null schematic
(the schematic that is loaded if no project is loaded), causing the
aforementioned undesired behavior.
To prevent this, I've changed the `SCH_EDIT_FRAME` constructor to set
`m_Initialized` to `true`, since it zooms to fit screen already. I've
moved `m_Initialized` from `BASE_SCREEN` to `SCH_SCREEN`, as it is used
only in Eeschema, and renamed it to `m_zoomInitialized`, a name I
believe that better describes what this variable does.
I've also introduced the function `SCH_EDIT_FRAME::initScreenZoom()` to
group the "zoom to fit screen" action with setting `m_Initialized` to
`true`, as they often should occur together.
I'd also like to say that I'm not confident whether
`SCH_EDIT_FRAME::DisplayCurrentSheet()` should perform the zoom level
initialization at this point, but I have decided to not change this
behavior for now, as the commit history suggests it's several years old.

- pcbnew should use status bar on success like eeschema
- Add a helper to clear msgpanel and set it in one go to avoid redraw delays due to doing processing in between
1) init reference pages before trying to draw the SCH_FIELDs when
turning intersheet references on
2) don't double redraw because we accidentally cleared the last
hover item on a non-mouse-moved event.
3) make sure the root sheet gets a name for the hypertext menu.
The groundwork has now been laid for per sheet instance data. Initially
this only supports sheet page numbers but could be expanded to include
other per sheet instance information.
ADDED: Support for user defined schematic page numbers.
CHANGED: When the "Show Details" button on the "Project Load Warning"
dialog is clicked, it reveals text that has odd formatting of when
lines split. This commit fixes the text for the dialogs that warn
that schematics will be saved in the new file format, and that Symbol
Libraries defined in the project file symbol library list are no longer
supported.
Also fixes a couple of bugs where resolving a textVar reference
to the refDes or unit wouldn't get the correct value in a
hierarchical schematic. (Unlogged.)

GitLab issue #5068 only affected the 5.1 branch. The same issue could
also affect master if for some reason a context switch occurs due to
changes. Moving the auto save feature before setting the current screen
to null should mitigate any potential future issues.
Display warning infobar in the board/schematic setup when no project
is loaded, since most of the settings in those dialogs are saved in
the project and not in the board/schematic file.

- Fix file extension for new project
- Fixes for exceptions on MSW
- Fix some ASAN issues
- Allow SETTINGS_MANAGER to run headless
- Don't flag schematic as modified after schematic setup is closed
- Don't automatically unload projects when LoadProject is called
- Don't unload project if it's the same as the current one
- Make sure to properly init/de-init template field names
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
Various architecture upgrades to support this.
Creating a BOARD now requires a valid PROJECT, which caused
some (mostly transparent) changes to the Python API internals.
ADDED: Project local settings file
CHANGED: Board design settings are no longer stored in PCB file
CHANGED: Net classes are no longer stored in PCB file
CHANGED: Importing board settings now reads boards, not just projects

* Move it to a panel along with the canvas to have a better UI
* Allow the infobar to automatically close after a set time
CHANGED: The eeschema find notifications now use the infobar instead of
a popup window
This widget allows for non-intrusive display of text
above the editing canvas. Currently, this is used
for displaying the read only status of the files.
Set up a new lineage for SCH_ITEMS to get back to the SCHEMATIC
they live on: Items will all be parented to the SCH_SCREEN that
they are added to, and each SCH_SCREEN will point back to the
SCHEMATIC that it is part of. Note that this hierarchy is not
the same as the actual schematic hierarchy, which continues to
be managed through SCH_SHEETs and SCH_SHEET_PATHS.
In order to avoid confusion when loading legacy schematics, updating time
stamp UUIDs is no longer performed. If users where not experiencing issues
with time stamp clashes with shared schematics then this was probably a
case of me being overly cautious.
The original conversion code has be moved to
SCH_EDIT_FRAME::ConvertTimeStampUuids() so the working functionality is
not lost. This function should not be used until a way is found to update
the board from the schematics with the appropriate settings.
There has been a long standing (since the beginning of the project?)
issue with sharing schematics between projects. It has been somewhat
supported for complex hierarchies (a sheet shared multiple times in a
single design) but it has not been well supported for simple hierarchies
(the symbol references cannot be changed in the shared schematic). This
issue has been resolved by moving all of the symbol instance sheet paths
from the symbol definitions in the all of the project files and save all
symbol path instances in the root sheet. This ensures that orphaned
symbol instance paths do not accumulate in shared schematic files and
that designs that reuse schematic in simple hierarchies can how have
different references. It also allows the root schematic from one project
to be uses as a sub-sheet in another project.
When legacy schematics are loaded, all sheet and symbol UUIDs are
converted from time stamps to true UUIDs. This is done to ensure there
are no sheet path instance clashes between projects. That being said,
there are no checks for this. It is assumed that the probability of
UUID clashes is so low that it doesn't make sense to test for them.
This is a very large and potentially disruptive change so this will be an
unusually long and detailed commit message.
The new file formats are now the default in both the schematic and symbol
library editors. Existing symbol libraries will be saved in their current
format until new features are added to library symbols. Once this happens,
both the legacy schematic and symbol file formats will be no longer be
savable and existing libraries will have to be converted. Saving to the
legacy file formats is still available for round robin testing and should
not be used for normal editing.
When loading the legacy schematic file, it is imperative that the schematic
library symbols are rescued and/or remapped to valid library identifiers.
Otherwise, there will be no way to link to the original library symbol and
the user will be required manually set the library identifier. The cached
symbol will be saved in the schematic file so the last library symbol in
the cache will still be used but there will be no way to update it from the
original library.
The next save after loading a legacy schematic file will be converted to
the s-expression file format. Schematics with hierarchical sheets will
automatically have all sheet file name extensions changed to .kicad_sym
and saved to the new format as well.
Appending schematics requires that the schematic to append has already been
converted to the new file format. This is required to ensure that library
symbols are guaranteed to be valid for the appended schematic.
The schematic symbol library symbol link resolution has been moved out of
the SCH_COMPONENT object and move into the SCH_SCREEN object that owns the
symbol. This was done to ensure that there is a single place where the
library symbol links get resolved rather than the dozen or so different
code paths that previously existed. It also removes the necessity of the
SCH_COMPONENT object of requiring any knowledge of the symbol library table
and/or the cache library.
When opening an s-expression schematic, the legacy cache library is not
loaded so any library symbols not rescued cannot be loaded. Broken library
symbol links will have to be manually resolved by adding the cache library
to the symbol library table and changing the links in the schematic symbol.
Now that the library symbols are embedded in the schematic file, the
SCH_SCREEN object maintains the list of library symbols for the schematic
automatically. No external manipulation of this library cache should ever
occur.
ADDED: S-expression schematic and symbol library file formats.
Please note that the symbol cache is not embedded in the schematic file
to allow for round robin testing with the existing file format. Once
the parser round robin testing is complete, the symbol cache will be
embedded in the schematic file.
