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.

FP LIB TABLE
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
Dialog:
|
|
- - - -
|
|
|
|
a) check for duplicate nicknames in a single table, complain, give the user a nice indication of the duplicate(s)
|
|
|
|
b) in the uri column give a small button popup a window(dialog?) which lets user choose a file or directory local to his system by pointing at it.
|
|
|
|
c) Active library table load and save functions. There are two tables active at any time, but
|
|
they look like one table. Identify a place to keep the access mechanism (pointer). Modify
|
|
the project specific portion of this RAM table when the board changes.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Other:
|
|
- - - -
|
|
|
|
a) develop a syntax for nickname:footprint combo, i.e. bring to life class FPID
|
|
with development and testing of parsing and formatting.
|
|
|
|
|
|
b) modify cvpcb to handle the nickname:footprint, i.e. textual form of FPID.
|
|
This means having a wider textfield for the FPID than was allocated for the footprint name alone.
|
|
Needed is the ability to pick a footprint from any active library.
|
|
|
|
|
|
c) modify the netlist format to handle nickname:footprint, save and load.
|
|
The nickname needs to be optional. I would say allowed in the grammar in the
|
|
footprint position are:
|
|
|
|
footprint | (fp_id FPID)
|
|
|
|
or just
|
|
|
|
FPID # if it can be parsed when nickname is missing.
|
|
|
|
|
|
d) write functions to lookup a footprint from
|
|
i) FPID
|
|
ii) footprint alone since most old netlists don't have nicknames in them.
|
|
|
|
These i) and ii) merge into one if footprint alone is a valid FPID.
|
|
Incorporate any environment variable in the the uri expansion using:
|
|
const wxString FP_LIB_TABLE::ExpandSubtitutions( const wxString aString )
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
*) Check that the new load visibility BOARD settings is properly setting the toolbar
|
|
buttons like show grid or ratsnest. Add PCB_EDIT_FRAME::SetVisibleElements() so
|
|
toolbar crap is not known to a BOARD.
|
|
|
|
*) Finish removing global access requirements from PLUGINs, so that:
|
|
*) a BOARD is a fully self contained document description.
|
|
*) plugin developers do not have to access globals, since a plugin could
|
|
very well be a dynamically loaded DLL/DSO in the future.
|
|
One final problem remains is the BASE_SCREEN's grid origin. An easy
|
|
solution is to move just that one field into the BOARD.
|
|
|
|
*) Add ::Footprint*() functions to EAGLE_PLUGIN, so that Eagle footprint libraries
|
|
can be used in situ.
|
|
|
|
*) Add a library table for Pcbnew like that in the sweet library and get rid of the
|
|
damn search path strategy. This will enable concurrent usage of various types
|
|
of PLUGIN::Footprint*() functions. At least LEGACY and KICAD are both needed
|
|
concurrently.
