Hi All My motivation on this list is to help with the testing - particularly OSX. My hope is to be working with a solid OSX version of KiCad with all the bells and whistles - one that comes out of the public repository - and that I can get working without an intimate knowledge of Mac development.

If needed I can send the infos again, but they should be in the list archive... It boils down to: If you do a Linux like "export ...=..." in console/terminal, then these environment variables *only* will work for things done in console/terminal. Apart from that it is started via launch daemon

I'm not sure, Bob. I was trying to make this thread be about a UI change to the library manager window. However, I'm a little too tired to be a stickler about it, and I have buy-in from Wayne and no screams of bloody murder from anyone else, so... If you want to build your own stuff on OS X, and

Nick, that makes sense. If we downloaded a new fp-lib-table.for-pretty from github, that will break unless the user simultaneously updates their pretties from github--which is definitely beyond the scope of this. Adam Wolf On Thu, Jan 22, 2015 at 5:10 PM, Nick Østergaard wrote: > I guess that

I guess that only the fp-lib-table.for-github should be fetched from the internet. The others should be fetched locally, because they are installed locally. As I see it. 2015-01-22 22:33 GMT+01:00 Adam Wolf : > That sounds like a good idea to me, but I think it should fall back to > looking in tha

That would be useful. However, I don't think you can download arbitrary files (only pretty footprint libraries) using the GitHub plugin but I could be wrong. On 1/22/2015 4:29 PM, Carl Poirier wrote: > Couldn't you pull the preconfigured fp-lib-tables from Github instead of > a local directory? T

If I don't do anything, KiCad wants the definition of KISYSMOD as an environment variable. The window PCB LIBRARY TABLES shows ${KISYSMOD}/ in front of every component. The panel below on the PCB LIBRARY TABLES window shows KISYSMOD as an undefined environment variable. Kicad has trouble i

That sounds like a good idea to me, but I think it should fall back to looking in that directory if Github is not available. I think the UI and most of the code would be the same, so I will start work tonight... Thoughts? On Jan 22, 2015 4:29 PM, "Carl Poirier" wrote: > Couldn't you pull the pr

Maybe you could add an "Initialize Global Table" mode to the fp-lib-table wizard where a predefined table file is copied to ~/. You could test for ~/fp-lib-table and enter this mode automatically or enter the "Edit Table" mode when ~/fp-lib-table is already defined. This would also prevent furthe

The new fp-lib-table wizard is great for adding new entries to the current table, but does not appear to have a "load defaults" type option. However, this is based on using it, not reading the code, so it is possible the feature is included somewhere I did not see. Adam Wolf On Thu, Jan 22, 2015
