Hi, I recently started a discussion with @Jon Evans in my MR https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/-/merge_requests/1935 regarding the visibility of Altium importer warning & errors for not yet supported schematic and layout features.
Since commit https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/-/commit/83be5ba63d82e237b8944ee6ee7c639215b14027 the Kicad Altium Importer does no longer shows warning & errors for not yet supported schematic and layout features in release builds. As Jon mentioned this was implemented to get rid of those annoying warnings which pop-up every time you use an Altium library which contains a not yet supported schematic and layout features. This I absolutely understand. I also do not expect that importing data from other EDA tools will be 100% accurate. But as the importer already knows it's limits I personally would like to have the possibility to get those warnings and errors back when I am importing an Altium schematic or layout. Jon mentioned: "I would be fine with adding some new way to show these optionally, in a less obtrusive way." "We try to avoid settings wherever possible. It is best to come up with a solution that can be enabled for everyone, meaning that people who want the information can get it in a way that does not slow down people who don't want the information. One option would be to create a "post-import report" that can optionally be launched from an infobar notification, for example." "One pretty simple option would be an advanced_config flag that changes the behavior of the WXLOG_REPORTER to use logging calls that are present in release builds" I am curious what's the opinion of others.
