The idea I was kicking around was to build a 2-level tree, with the parents being these categories (in new drc branch): https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/-/blob/drc/pcbnew/drc/drc_violation.h#L31 I think there are much fewer than 64 error types that actually need to be displayed to the user in groups. I'm not sure the enum there has absolutely everything, but I do think it's close.
I was planning on getting rid of the 3 tabs -- I don't think it makes sense to have the three tabs and also filters in the "violations" tab -- the other two tabs are just different types of violations. I am also not sure how much it makes sense to have checkboxes for showing/hiding violations. It seems like a better ultimate state would be: (a) being able to turn on/off all types of violations (and set their severity) (b) being able to clear or ignore certain violations or certain classes of violations in one go (I was thinking via a context menu on each violation and the tree header per violation class) -Jon On Tue, Feb 25, 2020 at 2:34 PM Jeff Young <j...@rokeby.ie> wrote: > I’m looking at adding filtering to the DRC window.
