[Kicad-developers] scripting version check

2015-10-20 Thread Lachlan Audas
I can't see any way of scripting a version check in Kicad, Pcbnew, or Eeschema, 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

I just tested on 6264 on linux. When I draw them it starts at the center and then the next time I click I get the radius and it will always be a 90 degree arc (no third click). That is not how it has always been, IIRC. I think this is a regression or some weird option that I have set. 2015-10-21 7

Hi Orson, can you explain how it should work in default canvas? OK, I can get some arc to show up, but this is at least very different from how to do it in eeschema (and I thought it should be the same in eeschema and default canvas?): In eeschema I can create a half-circle with 3 clicks. I did

Hi Bernhard, This is how it works in the legacy canvas, nothing wrong with OSX. We have simply done it in a different way in the GAL canvas. Regards, Orson On 10/21/2015 04:09 PM, Bernhard Stegmaier wrote: > Hi, > > nice discussion, but could anybody please just try if drawing arcs on > Window

I agree with Stephano, we should have two tools for arcs, as sometime starting with the center is preferred, but more often start/end then center is better suited. My $0.02, Jean-Paul AC9GH > On Oct 20, 2015, at 4:03 PM, Nick Østergaard wrote: > > What do you mean by two different tools? >

I think the proposed naming makes sense. I don't think we need to mark it as deprecated, we could just remove it. I have not heard of a lot of users that have discovered the python API, so I think the impact of removing it when we have not yet made the stable release yet is very limited. But if you

This patch has been around in many forms for a while. We use it in our custom 1.54 version of Boost: http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~kicad-product-committers/kicad/product/view/head:/patches/boost_mingw.patch The msys2 project had a version that worked with both 32 and 64 bit builds with boost 1.56
