[Kicad-developers] Question - Editing symbol aliases

2017-12-21 Thread Oliver Walters
Maybe I'm missing something very obvious, but how do you edit symbol aliases with the new symbol editor? If you select a symbol from the symbol tree, it jumps to the master copy, and I cannot see a way to edit the .dcm information for the aliased versions... Any hints? ___

[Kicad-developers] undefined plural form(s)

2017-12-21 Thread Simon Richter
Hi, we have quite a few strings that are pluralized with "(s)". IMO, that looks ugly. A few of them can be resolved by using wxPLURAL( "%d item", "%d items", num ) to get the appropriate string. In the C locale, this resolves to ( ( num == 1 ) ? "%d item" : "%d items" ) while other la

I was working a new board and I'm seeing this now too. I didn't make any changes to this code so who ever broke it, please fix it. You shouldn't need to reload the entire library table every time you add a symbol. The library caches should only get reloaded the first time they are opened, a chan

I will take a look to see if there would be any issues with this. Keep in mind, your example isn't quite right -- DATA[0..7] would still become DATA0, DATA1, etc with or without this change. The dots aren't added to the vector-notation buses, only when you name a bus group by putting a prefix behi

[Kicad-developers] Modeless dialog action buttons

2017-12-21 Thread Jeff Young
There are several modeless dialogs in pcbnew (for instance, Exchange Footprint and Plot) which have action buttons and a “Cancel” button. These shouldn’t be called “Cancel” as they don’t cancel the action. They should be either “Done” or “Close”. Comments? (Resending to fix bogus thread link.

Hi Andreas, You might be missing VIEW::Update() [1] call to invalidate a VIEW_ITEM after it has been modified. If it does not help, I will have a look at the code. Cheers, orson 1. http://ci.kicad-pcb.org/job/kicad-doxygen/ws/Documentation/doxygen/html/classKIGFX_1_1VIEW.html#af8f6652fbafaf7ed08

Hi, could you maybe help me finding the right redraw or refresh or whatever function? I can draw everything, but I see my polygons only after I switched the canvas once (Cairo->OpenGL or vice versa). So my workflow at the moment is: 1. Open pcbnew, 2. switch the canvas, 3. then work normally. I f
