Hi, Fabrizio.
I don't think the 'PdfBrowserName' should appear in '~/kicad_common' with
evince by default. At least, because there may be no 'evince' installed at
all.
I think, the best solution for the default pdf viewer should be native for OS
.
For Linux it should be something like [.pdf - MIME - default app]. Just like
the other linux apps is doing.

Alexander,
yep, you are right, the .kicad_common seems to work well. I am not
sure why it did not before in my PC at work. I will check tomorrow.
Anyways, don't you think that the file .kicad_common should come with
PdfBrowserName=/usr/bin/evince in it?

it works great, thank you very much for fixing it.
Just in case somebody google for this option in the future I'd like to
add:
If anybody working on linux has the problem that kicad pdf manuals get
not open in evince or acrobat reader but instead in Gimp, an easy fix
is to edit this file:
gedit ~/.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list
and add the line:
application/pdf=evince.desktop;firefox.desktop;
Also, the current KiCad option (Options - PDF Viewer - PDF Viewer)
does allow you to setup your favorite editor but unfortunately this
option does not appear in eeschema nor in pcbnew, etc.
Maybe the same default pdf viewer setup option (in the top Options
menu) should be make available in the other kicad programs, not sure
it is worth it.
Furthermore, ideally, under Linux, I think instead of the current
kicad pdf viewer option it is better to just have the option set
evince as default pdf viewer. This because often people do not really
know where executables (like evince) are.

Re: [Kicad-developers] problem with the Help link getting started in kicad
I filed a bug report with patch attached.

01 марта 2012, 15:13 от Fabrizio Tappero fabrizio.tapp...@gmail.com:
Hello,
I confirm that I still experience this problem which is here:
mst.kicad/common/basicframe.cpp
338:// Search for getting_started_in_kicad.pdf or
Getting_Started_in_KiCad.pdf
343:{ // Try to find Getting_Started_in_KiCad.pdf
344:wxGetApp().GetHelpFileName() = wxT(
Getting_Started_in_KiCad.pdf );
Can somebody maybe suggest a solution or tell me if it is a problem
with my system.
Cheers
Fabrizio

jean-pierre,
hum... in my fresh dev. build of the kicad-doc folder taken 30 min ago
from here:
bzr branch lp:~kicad-developers/kicad/doc
if I compile and install, I get (among other stuff) the following pdfs:
1) /usr/local/share/doc/kicad/en/KiCad_Tutorial 2011.pdf
2) /usr/local/share/doc/kicad/help/en/Getting_Started_in_KiCad.pdf
when I start kicad (also taken and compiled today) and I go Help -
Getting started in KiCad I get the following error:
Help file getting_started_in_kicad.pdf could not be found
Maybe:
the tutorial 2) should be renamed getting_started_in_kicad.pdf and
also the file 2) should maybe deleted since several months ago when I
make getting_started_in_kicad.pdf I made it based on 1)
I hope this will help to fix a possible problem.
Cheers
Fabrizio

Hello,
it seems to me that the link help- getting started in kicad is broken
for all kicad programs. It should link to a short pdf tutorials and it
should work for all kicad programs.
can anybody confirm that?
cheers
Fabrizio
I recently fixed this issue.

The original problem would have not come about if the return value of the
GetHelpFileName() was
const wxString
instead of
wxString
The compiler could have caught the problem then. I also like const wxString
because it
lets you alternate into
const wxString
without issue out in client land as well.
Thanks for the fix.

Hi Dick!
The const specification is really useful feature, especially for those who
clearly
understands what does it stands for.
By the way, please answer Frank bennett, especially to his question about Kicad
developers list and about contributors wishes.
Alexander.

Re: [Kicad-developers] problem with the Help link getting started in kicad
I am sorry, the post from Frank bennett was private for me
as for Kicad developer. But I think I am not the person who can
answer such questions.
So I can only retranslate this questions to Kicad developers forum.
Alexander.

kicad /help/about/developers - I was a little hurt to see my name
didn't make the short list, (even if I only added eeschema/backAnno)
EEschema, pcbnew - NICE look!!!
-new icons look great
-open places - it might be nice (for new users) to see the installed
demos as a selection (PATH='.' is there,right?)
-demos I see missing a favorite kit-dev-coldfire-xilinx_5213
even though it's checked in and working. Are demos our only set of
regression tests? It would be nice to have a user contrib designs,
symbols, footprints libs site somewhere...results from something
like a open hardware project taking a modified panda board forward.
So if I want to fix demos/CMakeLists.txt and maybe the Kicad/file/open
what is greenie developer suspose to do? in addition to how_to_compile.txt,
which was hard to find, I think we need a how_to_summit_simple_changes.txt!
or bzr, developer tricks:
How do I know which files I have changed or added to my local depot?
(like 'svn st') or about to submit...I guess I'm just missing the svn,
sf.net development mode of operation!
