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.
|
|
|
|
e) Replace MODULE::m_LibRef which is a wxString with FPID. FPID supports
|
|
the footprint name only which is backwards compatible with the current
|
|
design.
|
|
|
|
f) On the first time an empty global footprint table is encountered, add
|
|
standard KiCad and user libraries not located in the project directory
|
|
or any of it's sub-directories to the global footprint library table.
|
|
|
|
g) When a project is opened and the project footprint library table is
|
|
empty, add any user library that is located in the project path or any
|
|
of it's sub-directories to the project footprint library table.
|
|
|
|
h) When populating the footprint library tables, use the library file name
|
|
without the extension as the FPID nickname. When duplicate names exist,
|
|
append an incremental integer to the nickname so that the second logic
|
|
libraries FPID nickname becomes logic1. Assign FPID library nicknames
|
|
to each MODULE based on the legacy library search order when loading an
|
|
existing board that does not have fully defined MODULE FPIDs.
|
|
|
|
i) Add check for KISYSMOD environment variable, on Pcbnew and CvPcb start up
|
|
and set it to the known directory of the default KiCad footprint libraries.
|
|
The code should look something like:
|
|
|
|
{
|
|
const char* envar;
|
|
|
|
envar = getenv( "KISYSMOD" );
|
|
|
|
if( !envar )
|
|
{
|
|
envvar = knownDirOfSysMods;
|
|
|
|
setenv( "KISYSMOD", envar );
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
*) Add a hot key to toggle the 45 degree constraint on and off so that it can be
|
|
changed when drawing a trace.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Dick's Final TODO List:
|
|
======================
|
|
*) Rewrite
|
|
PCB_BASE_FRAME::Save_Module_In_Library
|
|
PCB_EDIT_FRAME::ArchiveModulesOnBoard
|
|
to use FP_LIB_TABLE mechanisms.
|
|
*) write options dialog for fp table dialog.
|
|
*) Apply Fabrizio and Alexander's linux desktop patches after unifying them.
|
|
*) Get licensing cleaned up.
|
|
*) Re-arrange the repo architecture.
|
|
*) DLL-ization of pcbnew & eeschema
