Hello geda-users -- I've made some modifications to the refdes utility "refdes_renum". Specifically, I have created a flag called "--gentle", which tells refdes_renum to number only new components in a design (i.e. those with refdeses like C?). The --gentle flag tells refdes_renum to leave previously numbered components alone. This new code is now in CVS.
By default, the old refdes_renum would just renumber *all* components, which could be a PITA if you had grown accostomed to your design's refdeses, or had already started a PCB layout with them. By default, refdes_renum will clobber all your old refdeses. Now the question has been asked: Shouldn't the --gentle option be the default (it currently is not)? Since making this change affects the default behavior of an important utility, I thought I'd ask the community for their opinions. So, do you like refdes_renum's current behavior, or would you prefer that it be --gentle by default? Cheers, Stuart p.s. If you want to play with it, please check the new refdes_renum out of CVS. Doing "refdes_renum --gentle file1.sch file2.sch file3.sch" will show the new behavior. Make sure you do this only to a design you have already backed up!!!! _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
