Same-named attributes in my symbols: * slotdef -- this is pretty generic * comment -- sometimes, more than one note needs to be delivered * documentation -- sometimes, more than one datasheet is available More use cases I can think of: * author -- in case there is more than one. * vendor -- where to buy > While I was at it, I added a help button to the dialog, which brings up the > 'Master Attributes List' of the wiki with definitions of all the typical > attribute names. Great. Is the list downloaded on the fly, or is it from a local copy? > Once I get a few details sorted out, I think it'll be good to let people play > with it a bit and see if it does what they want/expect.

Yay! A more powerful search and replace is one of my favorite feature requests. This is one of the areas where protel99 excels. Their search&replace can look for specific properties and change other properties of the found objects according to replacement rules. That is, you could do things like: Take all resistors with a value greater than 10k and add a "s" to the name of their footprint. The scope would be the current selection, the current sheet, or include all sub sheets. ---<)kaimartin(>--- -- Kai-Martin Knaak Email: k...@familieknaak.de Öffentlicher PGP-Schlüssel: http://pool.sks-keyservers.net:11371/pks/lookup?search=0x6C0B9F53 _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list geda-user@moria.seul.org http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
