Thank you!

Thanks for the badge Chris. I would have never expected that someone

Congratulations and thank you very much to Mikolaj!  And also to those
who have joined earlier who I haven't congratulated. There have been
some between v5 and v6.

Re: [Kicad-developers] installation of translations

[Wayne Stambaugh]

Check to make sure the KICAD_BUILD_I18N and KICAD_I18N_UNIX_STRICT_PATH 
build options are set properly.  They default to OFF.

Hi devs!
In order to check the coherence of the translation I often compile and install 
KiCad from source (from git).
Using the usual commands like:

cd build
cmake ..
make
sudo make install

I just noted that the translations are not or not completely installed.

Do I miss something?

My system is Ubuntu 20.04-64 and installing KiCad from git master.

TIA for any hint!

Re: [Kicad-developers] Question about attributes and complex hierarchies

[Wayne Stambaugh]

Hi Lorenzo,

Welcome back.

It sounds to me like you are describing a variant system to allow for 
different populations of the same board layout from a single schematic 
design.  This is already planned for version 7 so you wont have to use 
any hacks like you are suggesting below to create a variant.  I'm not 
sure when in the V7 development cycle this will get implemented but it's 
definitely on the list.


Cheers,

Wayne

…I'm back from the grave after something like 10 years because I'm busy
*using* kicad rather than doing developement work.

Today I incurred in a (rather big) eeschema nuisance and I'd like to ask
if already there are plan for that.

Since there is no population variation for schematics (hint hint :D) I'm
using custom attributes to tag the modifications. For this concrete
example the board has a 12V and a 230V variations so I'm tagging with a
'#' (or something) in the relevant field if the component has to be
omitted and then postprocess the BOMs to filter out the unneeded parts,
and everyone's happy.

The requirements of the day is that while there are three exact
subcircuits in the design, the 12V board only has populated two of these
three instances so the idea would be to set the DNP12 attribute on the
parts of the third instance.

This board uses a complex hierarchy (the same sheet instanced three
times in the root, to be exact) and after looking at the new format I've
seen that this use case can't be supported:

- The complex instances are now held in the root (for some reason)
   in the (symbol_instances …) section

- Each (path …) element contains only some stock fields: reference,
   unit, value, footprint;

- The editor actually enforces the change on value and footprint to all
   the instances so why they are saved in the instance data eludes me;

- The only things that can be actually altered for each instance is the
   designator (reference + part);

Now it wouldn't probably be *too* difficult to extend the file to handle
the extra attribute (just add the custom attributes in the (path …)
entity) but the UI would need some serious tought to avoid the symbol
editor mess (the magic 'present in all instances' checkbox). In fact the
design issue is substantially the same (multiple subparts vs multiple
subcircuits)

Is there already some plan or idea to handle this?
