Re: [Kicad-developers] Reading eagle's lbrs directly

2016-04-07 Thread Nick Østergaard
I guess that lbr files are for the schematic symbols. If that is the case, I think the reason is nothing with licensing, but rather that there is no "plugin" implemented for eeschema as there is in pcbnew, where one would implement this conversion. 2016-04-08 3:28 GMT+02:00 Daniel Wilches : > Hell

[Kicad-developers] Reading eagle's lbrs directly

2016-04-07 Thread Daniel Wilches
Hello, I noticed that to use Eagle's lbr files in Kicad we need to export them from eagle using an ulp (https://github.com/lachlanA/eagle-to-kicad). I think it would be beneficial to have Kicad read directly the lbr files, as that saves time to the user and doesn't require the user to have Eagle.

Personally I'm in favor of bumping the version with every feature. I can't see it getting too annoying on the development branch, as people who use that generally keep it up to date anyway - and I think it's sane to require them to. Either use a release, or use development head. :) On Thu, Apr 07,
