KiCad TODO List
===============
WXMAC Platform
--------------
* Fix hotkey list to match CMD key
* Fix AddHotkeyName to let wxWidgets handle Ctrl to CMD key
* 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.
Use wxFormBuilder.
* Component and module search displays in which library the
module or component lives.
* List auto up and down scrolling.
* Push file open semantics down to one of the base frame classes ( likely candidate is
WinEDA_BasicFrame ) so that file open behavior is consistent across all applications.
* Look over Brian's python BOM generation scripts, which are now in
scripts/python/ky and sort them out.
Code came from Brian in this posting's attachment, which is ky2.zip:
https://lists.launchpad.net/kicad-developers/msg06763.html
but is now in scripts/python/ky temporarily.
Eeschema
--------
* Drag and drop between two Eeschema windows.
Wayne:
E3) Hook up perform last library search hot key to replace search libraries for
component support removed from find dialog.
E4) Change add component dialog search text control to combobox and add component
search history save and restore capability. Also add session save and restore
to component history list control. Add advanced search capability similar to
new find dialog.
E6) Start initial work for changing component library file format to use Dick's
dsnlexer. See note C2 above. Come up with a workable library file format to
handle the wishes of the library implementation group. Add initial clipboard
support to the library editor.
PCBNew
------
*) Make the zone hit testing be done in screen coordinates, not internal units.
See the @todos in class_zone.cpp. A fixed distance in internal units becomes
a variable distance based on zoom factor, leading to inconsistent results at
various zoom factors. I believe that a fixed distance in pixels might make
for a friendlier UI.
*) Add a hot key to toggle the 45 degree constraint on and off so that it can be
changed when drawing a trace.
*) Paste (module ...) from clipboard into module editor.
Dick's Final TODO List:
======================
*) Get licensing cleaned up.
*) DLL-ization of pcbnew & eeschema

Issues as a result of minimal testing:
* If eeschema launched from C++ project manager and does not find all libraries,
then the dialog showing the names of missing libraries is shown twice.
* Clear all/some? retained strings on project change.
* Clear the FP_LIB_TABLE when the last KIWAY_PLAYER using it is closed.
Known Cu32 problems:
*) layer combo box does not show the first layer numbered 0.
*) ratsnest is broken
