Hi,
Yes, please file a bug report. I can't promise anything will happen
quickly, but we're talking about holding a code sprint not too long
from now, and this will be action item #1 at the sprint.

Hi Stuart,
Should I file a bug report?
Should have said: I'm running the 64bit debs from the Mepis 8 repos on
a dual core Athlon machine.

Hi --
Say I have attributes A, B , and D in my schematic and I want to add a
new attribute C to all the components.
All my components have attribute information already entered for each
of A, B and D.
When I run gattrib, I get a table with column headings A, B and D with
data under each of the relevant columns.
If I add now a new column C then a new column heading for C is
inserted between columns B and D and the existing column D heading is
shifted one column to the right.
However, the existing column contents do not. So, the column contents
that were originally under column heading D are now under column
heading C whilst the column under heading D is empty.
If I save this then of course all the component attribute values that
were originally named D are now named C.
Sound like a bug.
If instead, before I run gattrib, I add the new attribute to at least
one instance of a component in the schematic then of course when
gattrib is run the table has all four column headings A, B, C and D
with the attribute data in the right columns.
Sounds correct.
Is that the expected behaviour of this version of gattrib?
No, you have a bug. ?I don't recall it behaving this way long ago, but
it's been quite a while since I last hacked or used gattrib.
I ask because the current gattrib readme implies it is no longer
necessary to add the new attribute to at least one instance of a
component in the schematic.
The README is probably older than the "insert column" feature.
