KiCad TODO List
===============
CMAKE
-----
* Add install targets for binaries and resources on Mac.
* Add Python.
Common
------
*BUGS*
* PCBNew and EEschema opened and rotating a footprint in pcbnew let the
EESchema drawing flikker/refresh.
* 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.
* Create a better and cleaner add component and footprint dialog.
* List auto up and down scrolling.
* Toolbars and menus should be equal.
* Select one component, not a whole block
(like in PCB, EAGLE, MultiSim/Ultiboard)
* Cursor selection
* Cross small
* Cross fullscreen
* Normal arrow
* (Main) dialog(s) title(s) should always be the same and not change over time
when not needed. For example KiCad - <file loaded> or PCBNew - <file loaded>.
We dont have to see which build in the titlebar. This makes documentation
screenshots also easier. We already have the build information in the about
dialog.
* Integer/long/double input boxes should handle comma and dot separated values,
not only comma.
* Undo/Redo should have more steps (or could be setable).
CvPCB
-----
* Preview of the already assigned footprint.
EESchema
--------
*BUGS*
* If we add multiple leds and connect them with one wire there is no junction
placed between the ends, then I have to place manual the junctions or else it
is not connected in the netlist so only one led/connection is made
(for example to the Power GND symbol).
*Improvements*
* Component add list browser with optional component preview.
* Use collector classes.
* Drag and drop between two EESchema windows.
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
-----
PCBNew
------
*BUGS*
* Backspace hotkey for deleting track segment doesn't work.
* Delete hotkey for deleting a track doesn't work.
* 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.
* Via's
* Show via's like normal pad but with different colors, not only circles.
* Resizing/placing vias should not be so odd, should be easier and more
advanced features like the other EDA applications.
* Use BOARD_ITEM::MenuIcon() in the onrightclick.cpp
* Add unroute option in rightclick menu for components
* Document specctra round tripper, and fix the english translation of help.
* Expose layer name editing. Should dove tail with net class editor from
a UI perspective.
* Add ARC support to gerber polygons.
* Need to add polygon aperture type.
Then example 2 in RS274xrevd_e.pdf will draw properly.
* Look at mouse auto-scroll modes (bug?)
* Add the footprint name in the automatic placement file
* Footprint list should also have a footprint preview.
