Pleeease! It makes no sense to use a canvas we call "legacy" as default. GAL may still not have 100% feature parity to allow _removing_ legacy but it's totally ready to be the default. On Sat, Dec 30, 2017 at 08:51:53PM +, José Ignacio wrote: > Since the GAL is pretty much feature complet

[Kicad-developers] Component chooser performance

2017-12-28 Thread Chris Pavlina
Hi, How many have noticed a drop in performance in the component chooser, particularly surrounding footprint preview? I've noticed a rise in complaints about it, including one now who's saying it takes around two seconds to open every time. I'm not sure if something changed since I wrote it or if

I'm not sure a global flag would be better, it's perfectly reasonable to want different things for different texts. What may be nice to add is a global default setting for the flag. On Sat, Dec 16, 2017 at 01:30:33PM +, Jeff Young wrote: > Re-sending (I somehow hit reply instead of reply-all t

Hi Jeff, Thanks for your patches! You've already done the right thing - KiCad uses a somewhat old-fashioned flow so submitting patches directly like that is the norm. I'll just take a little while for them to be reviewed. If you have patches that add features rather than fixing bugs, you can sub
