Hi Miguel, I would like to be able to instantiate to PLUGINs simultaneously in a script, one of type LEGACY, and the second of type KICAD.
Then I would like to copy all the footprints from one plugin to the other, thereby doing a conversion of the entire library behind the LEGACY plugin into the library behind the KICAD plugin. Is this kind of script fu something you could help us with? Maybe it could take two "library paths" on the command line, old and new. FYI, a "library path" in the context of the new KICAD format is now a directory, whereas a "library path" in the context of the LEGACY plugin is an actual *.mod file, but I think the API hides this abstractly. Thanks for any help you can offer, Dick P.S. Wayne and I are currently collaborating on the branch which is being used to add the "lib table" support. So the time at which this script could be very useful is approaching. I envision running it one time on all the package supplied footprint libraries, and that may be the end of its utility for the most part. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~kicad-developers Post to : kicad-developers@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~kicad-developers More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
