gEDA-user: Buffer copy disappeared?
Hello all. Just installed the latest release of PCB, 20080202, and find that 'copy selection to buffer' disappeared. Can't find a reference to that in the CHANGES file, so I'm suspecting I did something wrong.

It's not in the Edit menu, with all the other cut/copy/paste options? ___ geda-user mailing list geda-user@moria.seul.org http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user

But it isn't in the Buffer menu anymore, where I used to find it ;-) In fact, I can't remember I _ever_ used the ones in the Edit menu.

Re: gEDA-user: New user - Hierarchy problem
I think grefdes is what I remembered reading about. I have now tried it and in general, it does a nice job. Now I need to learn some Perl to understand it better. It does not seem to understand about schematic hierarchy however. It renames/renumbers even refdes names for the hierarchy inputs and outputs that don't need numbers. I had an input with a refdes of Vin and it changed it to Vin1. gnetlist -g drc2 then complained about the missing refdes because the page symbol was still looking for Vin not Vin1. Also, while this is a handy program, it does not solve my problem since it is operating at the schematic page level. I need something operating at the upper level of gnetlist so that when I am generating a bom or a netlist it will take into account the sub-schematic levels and modify the refdes accordingly. I have looked at the scheme files for generating the bom and pads netlist and so far, I can't figure out what they are doing and how to make them do what I want. I am not at all familiar with Scheme or GUILE so I guessing that's next on my list of things I need to learn.

So he needs a script that acts on the netlist rather than on the schematics. Oh... right.The subsheets are only one, placed four times. He wants an instance referred to in the to sheet to trigger incremented names to replace subsheet names... grefdes is a model for a netlist text processing script though.

gEDA-user: New user - Annoyances
As a new gEDA used who has completed a couple schematics now, I have a few comments and questions. There are various inconsistencies in what the mouse buttons do between various functions. Some of these are annoying and could be modified to make it all easier to use. For example: When you are adding nets, the left button ends a net segment and you can continue the net with adding another segment with another left click, etc. However, when you are done and on the last segment, you have to left click it and then right click to stop adding to the net. It would be much simpler to just be able to right click on the last segment to complete the segment and stop the net. When you are adding lines, at the end of the first line segment, you left click as you do when adding nets, but that ends the line and you have to left click again to start a new segment. To be consistent, a left click should end the line segment, but moving the mouse should continue adding a new line segment until you right click which should add the last segment and stop the add line function. When adding components, a left click instantiates the component and each subsequent left click adds an other until the last one where you have to left click and then right click to stop adding. Again it would be nice to right click on the last instance, leaving it in place, and have that stop the add components function. I had a similar problem with the copy command stopping after just one copy. Now I have just found the multiple copy command which operates as I would have expected the copy command to work. The only thing I would change is to have it make the last copy and stop copying with a right click. I don't see any reason for having two copy commands at all. Now, my question is, is there the capability for a user to change this basic functionality through the key-mapping or config files? I have looked through the files and have not been able to find what I am looking for. Of course, I may not recognize it if I found it anyway. Or, are these operational functions things that would require modification the the program source files? If so, which files would I need to look into and where can I find info on recompiling the system? I am retired now but I have used several schematic capture systems over my career and I have not really liked most of them. I actually prefer gEDA in many ways over any of them. I just would like to make it even better.
