There is no scripting for Eeschema or KiCad. Only Pcbnew supports scripting at this time. Do you need the version of kicad or the pcb file version. If it's the pcb file version, you can get that by loading a board file an calling BOARD::GetFileFormatVersionAtLoad(). > Most application print version, given -v or -version then exit. > This allows script's to version check, is there some other way for a > shell script to check > what version of Kicad it has ?, if not, would there be any objection to > adding > a --version, which prints version and exit's for all the commands ? In the short term, I would prefer that this be added to the swig scripting generation code. The GetBuildVersion() function would need to be added. In the long term, I'm not opposed to adding command line switches to KiCad assuming it is done properly. This means using wxCmdLineParser and friends rather than some ad-hoc way of handling command line options. > > Lachlan. > > > > _______________________________________________ > Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~kicad-developers > Post to : kicad-developers@lists.launchpad.net > Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~kicad-developers > More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp > _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~kicad-developers Post to : kicad-developers@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~kicad-developers More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
