KiCad TODO List =============== CMAKE ----- * Add install targets for binaries and resources on Mac. * Add Python. WXMAC Platform -------------- * Fix hotkey list to match CMD key * Fix AddHotkeyName to let wxWidgets handle Ctrl to CMD key * Fix About dialog crash, or trash wxAboutDialog and create our own About dialog to match all platforms. (wxAboutDialog different on platforms) * Fix toolbar button tooltips. Common ------ * Grep for @TODO or TODO for sourcecode tasks * Use doxygen compatible comments on member functions (.h files) * Add tooltip text to all non-obvious controls in every dialog window. Need to do this using DialogBlocks. * Component and module search displays in which library the module or component lives. * List auto up and down scrolling. * Integer/long/double input boxes should handle comma and dot separated values, not only comma. Wayne: C1) Fix mouse wheel scrolling (ctrl + Mouse wheel) and (Shift + mouse wheel) to move more than a single scroll increment. CvPCB ----- * Preview of the already assigned footprint. EESchema -------- * Use collector classes. * Drag and drop between two EESchema windows. Wayne: E1) Relpace find dialog with wxFormBuilder version using a modeless dialog and event driven design similar to wxFindReplaceDialog implementation. GerbView -------- * Need work as good as gerbv from gEDA * Named layers * List control for layer sort on the fly * Add excellon2 drill file support (small good library) * Fix the polygon bug. * Switch to use ZONE instead of SEGZONE for polygons. KiCad ----- Add to the Wiki what the minimum screen size resolution requirement is to run Kicad, so that people do not try and use the program and then whine that they cannot see everything they need. We cannot make everyone happy, and by trying to make those with crappy computers happy, we risk making those with high res computers unhappy. Establish a minimum, then ignore support complaints coming from folks with less than that minimum. PCBNew ------ Dick: P2) Write accessors for all items in PCB_VISIBLE such as grid control, so that the write accessor can fire change notifications to known listeners. (Accessors should always be used in general for every class, but in the case of PCB_VISIBLE I think we need them in WinEDA_PcbFrame, BOARD and EDA_Settings. ::IsElementVisible( aPCB_VISIBLE ); ::SetElementVisiblity( aPCB_VISIBLE, bool isVisible ); Two of the 3 classes already have these functions. Once the functions are in place, it is a simple matter to decide and move where the actual data is stored without affecting client code. The top most access point should be WinEDA_PcbVisible, because some data is best retained there and this is the "controller" part of MVC in PCBNEW. Some data is best saved in the BOARD. We should go through the list of PCB_VISIBLE and decide on this in a separate email. * Fix block copy/move preview to not view only a border, we should see the moved/copied parts. * Fix DIALOG_PAD_PROPERTIES_BASE class to use actual layer names in the BOARD. * Use BOARD_ITEM::MenuIcon() in the onrightclick.cpp * Add ARC support to gerber polygons. * Need to add polygon aperture type. Then example 2 in RS274xrevd_e.pdf will draw properly. Dick: D1) Get the nested quote support for DSNLEXER fixed up and committed. LAYER_WIDGET for PCBNEW (Dick) ----------------------- L6) Test, and fix up any remaining issues with the PCB_VISIBLE support after P2) is done. This way we can fire change notifications to multiple GUI items all interested in the same setting, such as the two grid buttons which have to remain synchronized. Using accessors makes this easy. L8) LAYER_WIDGET::GetBestSize() needs platform independence. L9) On board load, ReFill() is called, this should also update the Render checkboxes and colors. Use wxDC for coordinate scaling and offsetting fix. (Wayne) ------------------------------------------------------------ W1) Make wxAutoBufferedPaintDC function properly. W2) Make bitmap grid drawing method function properly or figure out a more efficient method for drawing the grid. W3) Use one cursor position (preferrably logical (drawing) units) instead of keeping track of both logical and device cursor positions at the same time. W4) Figure out why none of the apps render correctly using wxGCDC on Windows. ** After (if?) new code accepted as project default: ** W6) Remove all old coordinate scaling and offset code from Kicad. W7) Remove conditional compilation pragmas and dead code paths. W8) Remove redundant drawing helper functions from gr_basic.cpp. W9) Remove all global variables used by old drawing code.
