Make the layers XOR logically but not the colors. i.e. old layer red, new layer green, deleted portions would show up in red, new portions would be green.

How about: Like the drop-down list of default attributes the add Attribute line presents. netname footprint value refdes source ... I guess, this order was determined by intuition of a developer long time ago. Suggestion: take this list as a default order for the list of attributes. Make this default configurable in gschemrc.

gEDA-user: Bugs, warts and feature requests (5)
Hi. Unlike the previous bugs and warts, these topics are fresh. Because I do mostly schematic capture at the moment, these are almost exclusively geschem requests: • gschem feature request: Add a modified move that temporarily disables rubberbanding. * gschem feature request: Make the snapping radius available to the GUI. • gschem feature request: Add a way to connect and disconnect crossing nets. That is induce, or remove a purple dot. • geda documentation: There is no wiki page for gsch2pcb. Best bet is http://geda.seul.org/wiki/geda:faq-gsch2pcb Proposal: Morph the page into a gsch2pcb description page. IMHO, there are frequently asked questions, since nobody asks questions. • gsch2pcb wart: The net of input/output symbols is evaluated from its refdes. Consequently, the restrictions to refdeses apply: No uncapitalized suffix, no hyphen, etc. Proposal: evaluate the net from dedicated attributes. E.g. "in-net=", "out-net=" • gschem feature request: An accel key that selects the "next" symbol. The next symbol should be chosen according to the algorithms used by autonumber. This would be handy when mass editing footprints, input nets, or values. • gschem feature request: In multiple attributes dialog automatically focus on and open the same attribute as was last edited. • gschem feature request: Sort attributes in multiple attributes dialog. The most frequent ones should be on top. • gerbv feature request: Add a view mode that shows only the difference of two layers. This would be handy when I have to asses the changes that I made to an existing design.

Fixed in GIT head. Added the appropriate DSC lines, rearranged the code to calculate page size before printing the initial header. ___ geda-user mailing list geda-user@moria.seul.org http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user

If I use the following command: ps2pdf -sPAPERSIZE=11x17 "[3]xmega.ps" "xmega.pdf" All of the images and text appear centered in the larger paper size and not cut off.
