Re: [Kicad-developers] bugs in stable 4.07

This is not a problem for MacOS packaging. The things that impact MacOS packaging are when the dependencies change. Remaking a 4.0.7 build after the tag moves isn't a problem. Adam On Mon, Jul 24, 2017 at 9:45 AM, Wayne Stambaugh wrote: > If we have known segfault bugs

Re: [Kicad-developers] Performance issues in pcbnew

I haven't learned enough about the KIWAY to trace the events from pcbnew to eeschema yet. I'd be curious is this is reproducible in other systems. Easy to test on linux using the perf tool https://perf.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Main_Page 1) run kicad, open a pcb and schematic of any size.

Re: [Kicad-developers] Performance issues in pcbnew

I don't see anything that suggests pcbnew is doing sheet list stuff. I was assuming that whatever event connection between pcbnew and eeschema exists was the culprit. On 25/07/17 10:25, Wayne Stambaugh wrote: On 7/24/2017 6:12 PM, hauptmech wrote: Yeah, it's weird since all I'm doing

Re: [Kicad-developers] Performance issues in pcbnew

Yeah, it's weird since all I'm doing when collecting perf data is zooming and panning the pcb, (with eeschema open). A root page and 11 sub pages at the next level. Roughly 800 components and 2000 wires. Probably something somewhere is instantiating a new SCH_SHEET_LIST (which then has to

Re: [Kicad-developers] [PATCH] More aggressive sheet-selection

After suggestions from chris, I deactivated the "select all items on sheet" on left-click inside eeschema, and instead added a context menu for it when rightclicking on a sheet in eeschema. This is a separate patch to the sheet-selection improvement. I do not know how to generate a icon for

[Kicad-developers] Generating the _xpm files uside by icons in eeschema.

Hello! I am working on some patches currently that adds a few menu entries in eeschema. Since they seem to require me to add icons to all of the entries, I am now stuck on trying to generate the .cpp files. Could someone point me in the correct way on how to do this. I currently have added

Re: [Kicad-developers] bugs in stable 4.07

If we have known segfault bugs we should fix them. I can remove the tag on the stable branch and move it to your bug fix commits. Nice catch. I need some input from our package devs as to the impact on the stable release packaging. I can push the release back another week or two to allow our

Re: [Kicad-developers] Stable release 4.0.7

Oliver, I'm guessing that the 3D model file names have also changed so using the older footprints with the new 3D models is going to be an issue. I'm tempted to keep the 4.0.6 tagged libraries so users existing symbol and 3D model libraries don't change and break user's designs. I am open to

Wayne, Sorry I thought I had replied to this, it was sitting in my outbox. If we keep the 4.0.6 tagged libraries, then there will be discrepancies for users if they are using the live github footprint libraries (in particular a lot of the 3D models will not be correctly oriented). How do you

Re: [Kicad-developers] [PATCH] More aggressive sheet-selection

Hmm, I was planning to send that mail to the ML. will resend it there. I am unsure about the separate tool. Most circuits I am using this on is instant, but I guess that doing both could be a viable option. The tool is available as a separate tool from pcbnew. On 07/24/2017 04:50 AM, Chris
