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, and get something into the installation as well.
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:
E2) Finish adding replace capability to new Find dialog.
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
Dick's Peronal TODO Items (Last Update: 24-April-2012)
-----------------------------------------------------
1) Work through some scroll, pan, zoom overflows in PCBNEW's nanometer build mode.
It is thought that if we can constrain the virtual IU space to within
INT_MIN to INT_MAX then a whole host of other problems will go away. Most
of the evil is in EDA_DRAW_FRAME::AdjustScrollBars() which assumes the
virtual IU space is infinite. This function triggers a movement of the
viewport within the virtual IU space and also a change in size of the virtual
IU space. Once this happens, you can end up thinking there are problems in
functions like EDA_DRAW_PANE::DrawCrossHair(), but this may be an artifact
of having traveled outside a limited virtual IU space.
2) 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.
3) Finish removing global access requirements from KICAD_PLUGIN, 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.
One final problem remains with BASE_SCREEN's grid origin, easy solution is to
move just that one field into the BOARD.
4) Do an EAGLE XML import PCBNEW PLUGIN, and possibly add export support to it.
This is PLUGIN::Load() and maybe PLUGIN::Save().
5) Get back to the SWEET work.
