Re: [Kicad-developers] Git noob question

I'm not a kicad dev, just an avid reader of the list, but I am pretty fluent in git. Here are some aliases that you might find useful (that go in your ~/.gitconfig) [alias]     co = checkout     ci = commit     st = status     br = branch     hist = log --all --abbrev-commit --graph

Re: [Kicad-developers] Git noob question

This depends on which remote your local repo is linked to. I keep two completely separate repos. One directly linked to the main kicad repo. I use this one for patch merges and very minor changes. The result of `git remote -v` for this repo looks like this: origin

Re: [Kicad-developers] Git noob question

OK, I followed Seth’s recipe so I’m now “right-side-up”. (5.0 on master; 6.0 on a branch) But I still don’t want to do a general push (as that will copy all my branches), right? So I do a: git push origin master right? Next question, when it asks for my launchpad username, what’s it

Jeff- As a fellow refuge from centralized VCSs, I sympathize. It took me a while to learn to love git branch but it is your friend. Here's a quick way to get into the layout Wayne was recommending: git checkout master (you are now in your branch that has all the V6 stuff) git checkout -b

[Kicad-developers] Git noob question

Before I go and make a hash of everything, can someone please validate the following. I have a bunch of 6.0 work on my master. I have a 5.0stable branch that I use for 5.0. If I want to push changes for RC2, I’d do: git push origin 5.0stable:master Is that right? Thanks,

Hi, to be honest, I don’t really know what this is about. @Andrey: You looked for a very complex (foreign) project (Chris mainboard?) to prove that eeschema is slow on Mac? Well, we know that and we told you already some weeks/months ago why it is like it is (if memory serves me right). Or,

No, I agree with you in that case, that sounds like a bug in my patch and I'll check it out this weekend when I can get back to coding. Thanks, Jon On Fri, Mar 2, 2018 at 12:28 PM, Andrzej Wolski wrote: > Jon, > > I probably didn't express myself clearly. What I mean

Re: [Kicad-developers] [PATCH] Rework footprint selection filtering to improve behavior

Jon, I probably didn't express myself clearly. What I mean is a situation when *only* enabled layer if F.Paste and then you disable "Pads Front". Now nothing is visible on the board, but footprints are still selectable. In other words, when no single item belonging to footprint is visible,

Re: [Kicad-developers] Mac HighDPI performance

Hi Andrey, I just tried some and I didn't see a large difference in zoom behavior between eeschema and pcbnew. They do use different zoom mechanisms when you use Modern toolset in PcbNew, but the difference is minor. Eeschema is not hardware-accelerated so I would expect that running it in low

Re: [Kicad-developers] [PATCH] Rework footprint selection filtering to improve behavior

Hi Andrzej, This was my intention, which is why I said I was prepared for other people to have other opinions :-) I think that you should still be able to select footprints even if the "front pads" is hidden from layers like the paste layer, *unless* you are in high contrast mode. -Jon On Fri,

Re: [Kicad-developers] Deletion in plugins causing trouble

Miles, I wish I had a answer for your but you are probably on your own here unless the developer who implemented this steps in and helps. I don't have the time to figure it out right now. Maybe someone else can help you or maybe you could become the resident python expert and maintain this. ;)

Re: [Kicad-developers] Deletion in plugins causing trouble

Hi Miles, I suppose the silence in the thread indicates there are not many developers knowing the Python scripting interface inside out. Since you are both studying the scripting interface and developing own scripts, it is quite possible you are the most competent person to give us an advice on

I've tried this patch, and there is a small issue: if you have only eg front paste layer enabled and front pads are hidden, footprint is still selectable. Andrzej W dniu 2018-02-27 o 04:11, Jon Evans pisze: This patch changes the selection logic for footprints to fix a reported issue[1] and
