Jon, I submitted a very similar patch earlier this year, and Orson raised an issue, saying that it would cause issues with cached targets on OpenGl? I don't know much about this particular issue but it would be good to get his sign off on this patch. IIRC he said he would look into it when he ha

[Kicad-developers] [PATCH] Add support for panning with left and right mouse buttons

2017-09-05 Thread Jon Evans
Hi all, This patch extends the VIEW_CONTROLS to allow optional panning with left or right buttons in addition to middle. I plan to make use of this in GerbView for an easy panning mode that works well on laptops and 2-button mice, and this might also be useful in other applications -- drag-to-pan

2017-09-05 Thread Jon Evans
Hi all, This patch is a quick one to make the line width of the BRIGHT_BOX dependent on the zoom level so that it remains basically the same apparent size on the screen. -Jon From fe5c8f7879c8c74ad67ea2c45a1945a9692150e7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jon Evans Date: Tue, 5 Sep 2017 20:22:42 -04

Hi, (1) You can’t run standalone applications (won’t find libraries), but you can run project manager directly from build directory. Like this from console (for me): <<< HackMini:build bstegmaier$ kicad/kicad.app/Contents/MacOS/kicad >>> Or just start it via Finder from build/kicad… (2) Yes, jus

[Kicad-developers] Mac questions: fast build and BRIGHT_BOX

2017-09-05 Thread Jon Evans
Hi Mac developers: 1) is there an easy way to quickly rebuild a single app and run it? I'm used to being able to do that on Linux, but it seems like I can't run apps out of the build directory on Mac (have to run "make install" which repackages all applications and is slow). 2) It seems like BRI

Same for me as Adam said. I am on a Late 2012 MacBook with Retina and i5, so definitely no killer machine. Works without problems, of course rendering gets slower with bigger schematics and there is a little lag when scrolling/zooming. But it definitely is very far from being “barely usable”. My d

Well, it's working a bit faster without external display, but still laggy enough to be an annoyance compared to windows. Holding the middle button and panning the schematic in circles shows incredible lag. In windows it's no more than 20 pixels separated from the mouse cursor, actually hard to noti

I think the Retina display is just one piece of the puzzle re. Mac performance. I have a Retina display and don't have any issues with rendering lag (and don't run in low-DPI mode either). So, I suspect that there are some combinations of display + GPU + maybe drivers, library versions, etc? that

I thought of a better way to handle design rule files (herein referred to DRFs). Either add LoadDesignRules() and SaveDesignRules() to the PLUGIN object (which really needs to be renamed PCB_PLUGIN now that we also have SCH_PLUGIN) or create a separate DRF_PLUGIN. My preference is the former. Bo
