Re: [Kicad-developers] [PATCH] Add a menu item to save a project under a new name.

[Wayne Stambaugh]

Russell,

I going to defer this patch to v6 since we are currently in feature
freeze.  I would ask that you please change the source naming to match
the feature name "save project as" and resubmit it when you get a
chance.  You are using "save as project" for source names but the
feature and UI string are "save project as".

Thanks,

Wayne

Yeah, I realized this after a sent the patch in, though I think it also
calls into question the logic behind the archive project function. Though I
am surprised about the sub directory files problem.

I do think it's an important feature to have though, so any help from
anyone would be appreciated.

Kind Regards
Russell

Hi Russel,

I tested your patch, but it does not work very well:
- subdirectories are not duplicated. Instead of, the files inside subdirs
are copied to the new root
dir.
- lib tables are not copied.

There is also a problem with libraries inside the project (like a rescue
lib)
They are renamed, but lib tables should be modified, according to the
renaming.

This is a tricky problem.

Hi Russel,

I tested your patch, but it does not work very well:
- subdirectories are not duplicated. Instead of, the files inside subdirs are 
copied to the new root
dir.
- lib tables are not copied.

There is also a problem with libraries inside the project (like a rescue lib)
They are renamed, but lib tables should be modified, according to the renaming.

This is a tricky problem.

[Kicad-developers] [PATCH] Add a menu item to save a project under a new name.

[Russell Oliver]

Copies project files into a new directory with the project name replaced in
each file name if preset. Uses the same set of extensions as the archive
project feature to filter the files.
