... It depends if the wxWidget is built with gnome support. IIRC it uses the gnomevfs machinery to decide what to launch. Otherwise there is no standard...
... And for extra credit it would be nice if you would scan the bug tracker and see if the bug you found coincidentally matches one or more that might have...
Hi all, I am new here. Kicad is great. I am a software Engineer by trade, but can read and write schematics/design PCB's based on skills I have picked up...
I am relatively new here, but I can comment on one topic: ... That was strange for me at first, but I discovered that it has some benefits: creating a new...
... Maybe autosving (and making backups) is easier to implement? Then kicad can crash without loosing much work. Maybe it's already there. I neither have...
OK, I have been looking at multi part components, and I see the structure: /* Elements Graphiques */ LibEDA_BaseStruct::LibEDA_BaseStruct( KICAD_T struct_type...
OK, I found it. I wondered what "Common to Units" meant. And now I know. Wouldnt it be more descriptive if it was called "Common to Parts" instead? Or a...
I uploaded the last stable (autoinstall for windows and a full .tgz archive for linux) release to iut-tice.ujf-grenoble.fr/cao/ Please, note the kicad tree was...
... old ... Hi, Thanks for the release. Sorry to be picky but its dated 15/8/08 not 15/7/08. Anyway I look forward to installing and testing. David....
... Hi all, Great, the new version comes! Thanks a lot for your hard work. Jean-Pierre, just a little mistake in the french documentation of pcbnew : chapter 6...
Hi, I'm using the latest svn version of kicad I compiled myself with wxwidgets 2.8.8 on Ubuntu Linux. I'm having all kinds of problems trying to append boards...
I can probably look at this next week earliest. If you want that then please send me a personal email and tell me how you expect it to work along with the two...
Hi Dick, Yes, I'm doing this for panelization. I don't know how it worked before because this is the first time I tried it. I expected it to import the board...
... This whole concept seems a bit awkward to me for pcbnew. I would have added this functionality to the gerber viewer and not to pcbnew. If the gerber ...
... That sounds pretty good. ... When I appended a board to another, and then tried to move the board, everything moves except for one component. I don't know...
... IN fact it is a *very* nice thing. I even made a program to do exactly that for TangoPcb (in normal mode, component names were changed). Why is it nice?...
... "it" means what in your first sentence? 1) the append feature in pcbnew, or 2) the hypothetical append feature in gerbview which was the last thing ...
Moses, I went to work on this problem today and realized that I did not have a good description of how the feature is supposed to work. Sorry you missed this...
Hi Dick, Thanks for looking at it. ... I would think the page settings of the current board would be retained, but the perimeter of each board would be...
Hi, Here's a patch for files.cpp in pcbnew. This fixes the problem with "append board" changing the name of the board current board to "noname.brd" Let me know...
Hi, I think the idea of creating a new/separate board object is a good one. It could also lay the foundations for grouping components together for routing....
... A reason is the append function is a rather dangerous function. One can easily break a board. And in all cases the result does not match with a schematic. ...
... IMHO, once you do such an operation, the "concept of perimiter is lost. What may me retained is *only* the grapjical representation of the board so that it...
... That makes sense, but the current implementation is somewhat awkward IMO. I needed to append 3 boards into one and it changed the name every time, even...
... Appending to my previous suggestion (that Jean Pierre liked), if the name already is "board-app", don't add "-app" again :) does it sound good too? Alain...
... I see, "board" would be the name of the current board. I thought you meant to name it "board-app.brd" Yep, that sounds good. Then if you want to create...
