Do all our platforms have an OS default? If so, I agree: nuke the setting entirely. > On 8 Feb 2018, at 17:42, Andrey Kuznetsov wrote: > > We agree, good job, 24->0 words! > No need to specify something that's already been set system wide. > > On Thu, Feb 8, 2018 at 8:06 AM, Andy Peters

I also thinks that adding "by Kicad" does not add any information. It only complicates the already long description. Den 7. feb. 2018 7.50 PM skrev "Marco Ciampa" : > On Wed, Feb 07, 2018 at 09:23:22AM -0700, Andy Peters wrote: > > > > > > > On Feb 7, 2018, at 5:09 AM, Marco Ciampa wrote: > > >
