Hello.
In relation with patch for bug #1511552, I'd like to replace some hard-coded
behaviour with a configuration read from a textual file. I mean an
application-specific configuration (not user-specific or project-specific).
However, I found no such file in the current KiCad distribution to mi
If it is only about pythonw, the fix is actually very simple on Windows. I
submitted a patch into the Winbuilder bug-tracker,
https://github.com/nickoe/KiCad-Winbuilder/issues/28. Perhaps, the fix can be
equally simple on other platforms, I have no idea how the build is performed
there.

Hello.
In the Launchpad bug tracker, I've posted a new patch for export of Spice
netlists, the bug #1511552.

Thank you, Wayne, for your long answer, I'm completely satisfied with it.
Nevertheless, I'd like to have a few more questions.

First of all, sorry for my late answer, and that I'm going to put all my
answers into a sigle e-mail. Because the public mail service I'm using had a
breakdown, was unavailable for the whole day, and the latest messages were
lost.

Sorry, Jean-Pierre, but your answer is too vague for me. I'm just a EE
hobbyist, so I'm surely less experienced than you EE professionals. But at the
level I want to use KiCad, I don't think your points are valid. See my
comments below.

Wayne,
thank you for your reaction. Here I'll state how I see it and comment your
answer.
At first, I'd like to say that I tried to make no revolution, but only to
extend the functionality that already IS in KiCad the same way it is
implemented NOW. I can imagine a better realisation of the funct
Hello,
I've got no opinions, so I implemented the patch(es). Please look at it.
I've tested it with LTSpiceIV and NgSpice, and they both now work without a
problem with the standard KiCad components. No special components for
simulation purposes are needed.
Best regards,
Martin.

So by looking at the KiCad road-map, what would you suggest? To ignore the
road-map and to perform the current code maintenance only?

Hi Mario,
thank you for your reply. The other people felt offended when I said "waist of
time".
Actually I meant it in that way that if three people are making massive
changes in the same part of the code, it will be impossible to merge their
work together. And inevitably, many of the work will

I've met many developers that wanted to create something cool that many will

Please, don't feel offended :-). I'm a professional developer, and I'm used to

I don't want to advocate them, I've already written my opinion on eSim. But
their latest Windows version is working for me without problems (but it's
buggy). There are almost no component librari
I vote for that too with all my fingers! That would help many people that
consider KiCad a good platform but need something non-standard or want a
particular feature to work in a different way.

I found the road map for KiCad as well. The plans look fine, but are they

Hello,
a good topic and good ideas, in my opinion. Though it should be the core
developers who should say that.
A few weeks ago I was performing my own small research in what EDA tools are
available. I was looking for a schema_drawing-simulator-pcb_creator all-in-one
app. And found none (free). I
