Not preferences, settings... if it works in ~/.pcb/settings, it works
as ./pcb.settings
~/.pcb/preferences is a GTK-specific save-state file.
The pcb libraries to use are defined in ~/.pcb/preferences with a line like:
library-newlib =
/home/john/EEProjects/now-svn-ecosensory/circuitboards/footprints_pcb
Is there a way to get pcb to use a local library based on a local override?
I tried putting that line in ~/.pcb/settings -- no go.
Reading pcb.pdf from the latest I find the command line option
pcb -libpath /home/john/footprints, but neither pcb -libpath
or pcb --libpath are recognized.
Another thing from 1.99z pcb.pdf that suggest success is close is:
"libraryPath (string)
A colon separated list of directories that will be passed to the commands spec-
ified by elementCommand and elementContentsCommand."
This suggests multiple dirs can have subdirs with footprints in them, they just
need
to be specified in one place. How would I library path from the command line
or in a settings file?
There once was a mention of a packages dir being used locally for footprints.
How does that work?
