I just pushed the revamped component selector. Thanks to Tomasz for the kiface-compatible footprint preview pane!
The following changes are added in this revision: - Most obviously: add footprint preview to the eeschema component selector. Currently, this only works if the symbol has a value in the Footprint field in the library. - Upgrade tree widget in the component selector to a wxTreeListCtrl, removing the columns previously simulated using monospace font and spacing. - Factor out customized two-column wxTreeListCtrl previously used in the hotkey list. This subclass fixes a column sizing bug that wxTreeListCtrl has. - Add more information to the info display in the selector, using a wxHtmlWindow to display formatting. Part of this has already been pushed to master recently, though I figured I'd mention it again. Beyond the changes that were pushed last week, I also linkified the datasheet URL so it can be directly clicked within the component selector and launch a browser. UPCOMING: - Footprint selection in this dialog. The user will be able to choose from whatever is prepopulated in the Footprint field, anything matching the footprint filters, and "Other..." which calls up the footprint browser. - 3D footprint preview, we need to show off our sexy renderer ;) - Hide fields in the symbol preview (or maybe just hidden fields?). They are redundant now that they're also displayed in the info box, so clean up the preview. KNOWN BUGS: - Dialog layout isn't optimal, it still looks a bit cramped. I'll tweak this later. - Loads slowly, this is due to differences in populating wxTreeListCtrl vs the old wxTreeCtrl. I'll rewrite the method that populates this list. Please, test thoroughly. This is an 1800 line commit, it probably has some bugs. Particularly I'm looking for testing on OSX - I think I got the commit pushed in time for the build of tonight's OSX nightly, so you shouldn't have to build yourself, just want until tomorrow. -- Chris _______________________________________________ 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
