Re: [Kicad-developers] Fwd: [PATCH] 3 better icons

[Fabrizio Tappero]

Hi Wayne,
I actually agree. I am looking at improving the current icons without
really going for big changes because of the usual documentation problem.

thanks for merging this patch.

cheers
Fabrizio

Re: [Kicad-developers] Fwd: [PATCH] 3 better icons

[Wayne Stambaugh]

Hey Fabrizio,

I merged your patch.  I was wondering if a ruler would be a more
universally recognizable metaphor for measurement rather than calipers.
Calipers are a pretty specialized measurement tool that not everyone who
used KiCad may recognize.  I'm not saying it needs to be changed but
just something to think about.

Thanks,

Wayne

Re: [Kicad-developers] Symbol library editor UI refactor

[Chris Pavlina]

By caching the width required for every text item, and using that cache to
calculate widths manually. wx's column sizing is stupid slow because it
(partially?) renders every text every time to calculate the space it uses...

Re: [Kicad-developers] Symbol library editor UI refactor

[Nick Østergaard]

Hi Maciej,

I also noticed that resizing the width of the thing containing the
tree widget is very slow. IIRC Chris also had issues with that in the
componentchooser dialog initially, but he fixed that somehow.

 Hey Orson,

 I'm fine with using PART_LIBS object for now.  Once the symbol library
 table is in play, the only code that should be using PART_LIBS is the
 code that remaps the symbols in the schematic from the current look up
 method over to the symbol library table.

 Thanks,

 Wayne
