Next ten items on my geda fuss list: 11) pcb feature request: Remember the position of ripped off menus across sessions. I have the luxury of working with two monitors. So, I like to keep frequently used menus like "settings" open on the second monitor. However, I have to rearrange this personal preference whenever I start a session.
12) pcb usability request: A simple way to detect the net of a copper object. (Currently, I use the line tool and pretend to draw a track) 13) pcb usability suggestion: Replace [j] with [SHIFT-j] to set [CTRL-j] to clear the join flag. Rationale: A simple [j] is too easily pressed by accident. There is no visual feedback about the join flag. This makes the toggle action a stab in the dark. Better explicitely set or clear the flag. 14) gsch2pcb/gnetlist feature request: Tell the user about the status of $NAME.net 15) pcb feature request: Add setflag/clrflag(...,join) to the menu 16) pcb usability request: Do restricted move when control modifier is pressed during the action. This kind of modifier is used by many graphics GUIs. (e.g. inkscape, dia, oodraw) 17) pcb feature request: Add an option to show the current DRC clearence of objects already on the canvas. 18) pcb wart: rats dont't always go to the nearest end point of a track. Sometimes the far end of the track is chosen. 19) pcb usability request: Panning speed should scale with the deviation of the mouse from the viewport. Currently, panning speed is fixed. Depending on circumstances, this either too slow or too fast to be convenient. 20) pcb usability request: ESC while in Line tool mode should end drawing and return to the state before starting the track.(like inkscape) 21) gschem feature request: Go down schematic with double click to ease navigation of hierarchical designs. Do up schematic with double click somewhere on the canvas. This would allow for fast and convenient travel through trees of hierarchical design. ---<(kaimartin)>--- -- Kai-Martin Knaak http://lilalaser.de/blog _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list geda-user@moria.seul.org http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
