Good work on that list! I just give an quick overlook on that, I think one thing was not mentioned was the consistency on the edition of parameters. (For example the way that you insert a value of some type (ex a diameter, or a position) is different depending of the function/dialog.) One thing

I vote for having a qualifier key to tweek the meaning of the mouse wheel. Touching the mouse wheel and having the design zoom to 3 pixel size or huge size is not productive. Bob G On 08/31/2015 09:53 AM, Mark Roszko wrote: The mouse wheel and navigation (as mentioned above). Make it

[Kicad-developers] Kicad annoyances and niggles

I've just been playing with V6132 of PCBNEW. I have a number of small observations. 1/ In the layer manager toolbar the Top and Bottom layer are named Composant and Cuivre. Why is this even though I am using English as my language? 2/ The same words are used for the top and bottom layer in

Hi Cirilo, I agree in generally with the necessities you pointed. Except the ones I will comment below :) Still don't agree with the necessity of tracking a pointer to display data in S3D_ENTRY, special if you also agree that we need decoupling. Your S3D_ENTRY, the (current/old) S3D_MASTER
