[Kicad-developers] emails in about box

Hi, Can we please have a (hopefully short) discussion on the presence of developer email addresses in the About box? I don't want or need mine there. People can find it if they really want to, but I see no need to advertise myself in the about box as if I'm inviting people to contact me

The other option is change all the “credits tabs” in the about dialog into something similar to what freecad uses, then it would just be a text file to update thats included in the distribution and is MUCH easier to update, and can use multiple files (including one in the package set to include

Re: [Kicad-developers] Tweaks to about dialog

Can we have a link to a page on the website where we have a long form list? Updating a binary file with a fluid list of contributors seems hokey. The 3D models for example are now script generated using Maurice's tools but contributed by various people. On 25 Nov 2017 06:37, "Simon Wells"

Re: [Kicad-developers] Tweaks to about dialog

Well if you want to keep that panel it should represent all those people who have provided artistry to kicad, as such for those non programmers maybe there needs to be a script or similar that someone can just put their name in and it will spit out a patch that can be submitted to the mailing

Re: [Kicad-developers] [FEATURE] Eeschema Line Styles

Hi Chris, Eldar- I looked at the drop-down button option and, as far as I can tell, this is possible but non-trivial in wx. As Wayne is freezing this weekend, I'll look at ways of specifying current draw styles for 6.x dev branch. -S On Fri, Nov 17, 2017 at 11:25 PM, eldar.khayrullin

Re: [Kicad-developers] [PATCH] Math expression support for pad editor.

I patched NumericEvaluator to use the system locale to pick the right decimal separator character. I have tested it on Windows and Linux, no issues found. In my opinion it is ready to be merged and could be a nice bonus for v5. Sincerely, I love this feature, so I might be a bit biased. Cheers,

Re: [Kicad-developers] Getting kicad to work with wxPython Phoenix

wxwidgets does not work well (at all?) when build with gtk3. If your custom build of phoenix and/or wxwidgets was built against gtk3, you are going to issues. Until the wx project resolves it's gtk3 issues, kicad must be built with wx built with gtk2. On 11/24/2017 04:19 AM, miles mccoo wrote:

Re: [Kicad-developers] [PATCH] Eeschema automatic manage junctions

Hi Seth, I tested the branch and I consider it a significant improvement to the way junctions are handled. I confirm it fixes the four bugs mentioned in patch 0011, apart from a single case when a parallel component is dragged out. In this case junctions are not still not auto deleted (see [1],

Re: [Kicad-developers] Tweaks to about dialog

Oliver, I would rather not remove the artists panel from the about dialog. I know some of those folks haven't contributed recently but many of them contributed a lot of bitmaps and icons over the years so they deserve credit for the efforts. The remaining changes are fine. Cheers, Wayne On

This is *the* fatal flaw with the cache library. User's assume it is stale symbols or a temporary copy. It is not. It is a snapshot of the current library symbols linked to the symbols in the schematic. It gets refreshed every time the schematic is saved. Once you delete this file or keep an

Re: [Kicad-developers] Migrating old designs best practice

But still, you are required to save the cache file if you want portability. The decision to use the word cache was probably not so good, because it makes people think they should not back it up. But this is how it works, so pull it out of your ignorefile. Lets be pleased that the new schematic

Re: [Kicad-developers] Migrating old designs best practice

One the one hand, yes, if there is a cache file you can take advantage of the fact that it is a stale copy of the old parts. On the other hand, since caches are, by definition, temporary copies of data, they don't get versioned or archived in my projects. (The kicad libraries, and binaries, were
