I already discussed previously about that on the list. IIRC there was something about accessing the project fp-libs; eeschema however already has access to the project (for a lot of things) even in standalone, so I don't see where would the problem be. Didn't look at the code however, maybe there's a tricky part somewhere... > What stands in the way, to incorporate cvpcb as real eeschema part - omit > asking > about save in cvpcb and add OK (Saves results), Cancel(Abort) buttons to > the UI frame? For the user it already works that way... I'd say there's nothing technical blocking a migration of cvpcb as an eeschema dialog... it only needs (a lot of) time to migrate from a separate kiway-thing to an internal part of eeschema. Difficult to estimate without looking at the code, sometime in kicad there are nasty suprises lurking when you think something would be trivial to do:P (history teaches: the whole kiway mess was born from eeschema and pcbnew using the same common library compiled with a different value for the base unit, thus impeding a clean link) Should be easier to keep it as a separate kiway-thing and enabling it to work in standalone, a good compromise. Still ATM I don't have time to work on kicad... -- Lorenzo Marcantonio Logos Srl _______________________________________________ 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
