Re: [Kicad-developers] File format version increment

File version issues have hit me a couple times when collaborating. Solutions involve either installing bunch of binaries, stable first, then nightlies, until we find a compatible one, or 'fixing' the file by hand editing to a previous design. It would be really nice to the user if you used

Re: [Kicad-developers] [PATCH] PcbNew Eagle Plugin: Remove layer restriction on some graphic items, fix undrawn items and place values on fabrication layers.

Wayne, After my quick look at JP's custom pad code, I think the patch is still valid simply because it allows for the quick conversion between copper layer graphical items in an Eagle footprint to the equivalent KiCad item. Eagle Cad does not have an equivalent custom pad shape feature which

Re: [Kicad-developers] Fwd: wxPython 4.0.0b2 release

I mostly us the Phoenix documentation and it seems close, but not exact. There also have been differences between the Python that wxFormBuilder creates vs Stable and is some cases the nightly. From my perspective, it's not onerous to adopt, but it may break existing plugins. Greg S. > On Sep

Re: [Kicad-developers] Fwd: wxPython 4.0.0b2 release

I haven't tried to build it on mingw. I'm guessing if it's anything like it's predecessor, it will require some work but I could be wrong. Given that the build instructions only mention msvc and say nothing about building with mingw on windows, my expectations are low. On 9/20/2017 4:54 PM,

[Kicad-developers] Fwd: wxPython 4.0.0b2 release

Hi, wxPython 4 will be out soon, and this appears to be mostly a rewrite of wxPython 3. Has anyone looked at this yet, is it compatible enough to be used from KiCad? Simon Forwarded Message Subject:wxPython 4.0.0b2 release Date: Tue, 19 Sep 2017 12:54:12 -0700

Hi Orson, Give this a shot in your branch. It should work in pcbnew also now. -Jon On Wed, Sep 20, 2017 at 9:28 AM, Jon Evans wrote: > Hi Orson, > > Thank you for staging this for merge on your branch. I checked and you do > have all the patches. > > 1) Yes I planned on

Re: [Kicad-developers] [PATCH] PcbNew Eagle Plugin: Remove layer restriction on some graphic items, fix undrawn items and place values on fabrication layers.

Russell, Is this patch still valid now that JP merged his custom pad work or does it need to be reworked to support custom pads? I would like to get all of the Eagle changes into master for the stable 5 branch. Thanks, Wayne On 8/27/2017 4:39 AM, Russell Oliver wrote: > Hi All,  > > Attached

Re: [Kicad-developers] [PATCH] GerbView GAL support

Hi Orson, Thank you for staging this for merge on your branch. I checked and you do have all the patches. 1) Yes I planned on refactoring the selection tool once things stabilized with the highlighting etc. 2) Do you mean when you are highlighting Gerber X2 attributes, or when you are

Re: [Kicad-developers] ActionPlugin backport to 4.0.8?

If I can help it, there wont be a 4.0.8 stable release. The goal is to have the stable 5 version released by the end of the year. At this point, I would only consider a 4.0.8 stable release if there was a critical (data loss or corruption) bug. On 9/20/2017 8:47 AM, Greg Smith wrote: > Is there

[Kicad-developers] ActionPlugin backport to 4.0.8?

Is there any possibility to backport ActionPlugin support for 4.0.8 Stable release? It makes installing and accessing python plugins so much easier for the casual user! Also how do I retrieve the current pcbnew/KiCad version number from Python? Greg S. .

Re: [Kicad-developers] [PATCH] GerbView GAL support

Hi Jon, GALifying GerbView is a huge task, so thank you very much for your work! I have just tested your changes and in my opinion it is in a state that deserves merging and further tests. The new way of item highlighting is awesome, we need to port it to pcbnew as well. For now I keep your
