Ah, action strings and scripts aren't executed when you're exporting. I suspect we could argue that this is a bug and discuss the ramifications of fixing it. The relevent code is at the end of src/main.c ___ geda-user mailing list geda-user@moria.seul

2009-02-20 Thread Stefan Salewski
Which programs of the gEDA tools are still using libgd? My impression is, that the core gEDA/gaf-tools do not use it anymore -- is this correct? In INSTALL for gschem 1.4.3 old libgdgeda is mentioned: "libgdgeda 2.0.15 (optional; you also need zlib and libpng for this lib)" Is there a good reas
