I *think* the list of attributes shown in the dialog can be generated in a way where repeated attributes will appear as: documentation <value> Vis N V documentation (2) <value> Vis N V documentation (3) <value> Vis N V Then when it comes time to apply a change, gschem will search the object's list of attributes to find the one that appears in the right sequence in the attribute list. >> While I was at it, I added a help button to the dialog, which brings up the >> 'Master Attributes List' of the wiki with definitions of all the typical >> attribute names. >Great. Is the list downloaded on the fly, or is it from a local copy? it uses the same mechanism as other help viewing actions, which read from the local copy. _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list geda-user@moria.seul.org http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
