Not at all. I've just pushed another intermediate version to be available this way: git clone git://gitorious.org/~ineiev/pcb/clon_ineieva.git git checkout -b attributes origin/attributes and I am waiting for suggestions. It is half-ready, I think a patch to save special colors like element, via, pin and so on probably should be added; and perhaps at last to add attributes to nets would be useful for future. > Is there a convenient > way that one can save prefered colors for a particular layer stack and > then *not* use the ones *or* change the ones stored in the .pcb file? > Here is my thinking.

I added an action CopyDefaultLayerColor (could not find a shorter name) to set current colours according to PCB Settings structure. I added a button triggering this in GTK GUI preferences; however, it is not reversible now. I think a quick switch between the board and program colour sets can be implemented quite easily; I'll add this flag. On copying colours: do you think it would be enough to add an action to copy board colours to PCB Settings? Thank you; your notes were very constructive, Ineiev _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list geda-user@moria.seul.org http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
