I'm pretty sure I've commented on this before but I'll weigh in again.
My goal is to create a configurable plot manager for pcbnew (and
eventually eeschema) that meets the following criteria:
* Plot any combination of available plot outputs.
* Configurable per plot type file extensions and/or
I was working on a program to do this (over the Python API) because I
wanted to be able to drive deliverable generation from a makefile.
Code is here: https://github.com/johnbeard/kiplot
An example plot config (generates nearly all the possible outputs all
at once) is here:
It would be nice if this were more formally supported instead of just being
a thing that people figure out how to do :) Python scripting is certainly
one way.
Altium has this capability -- they don't use a real script like Python, but
more of a configuration file.
But the key point is that it is
I actually worked with the OSHPark folks to do this for KiCad back in
the V4 days so they could accept .kicad_pcb files.

It would be nice to have a fully-scriptable "output job" system so that you
can save all the Gerber generation settings, all the drill generation
settings, etc together, and set up a workflow of generating files, naming
them a certain way, packaging them in a ZIP, etc.

I'd give that a thumbs up from as a single user's opinion.

100% percent of the time when I make drill files, I also want to make
gerbers, and I want a zip file for uploading as well.
Is there any interest in adding some way to do this automatically? It
may be a little tricky since drills and Gerbers are two different
windows, but if this is considered a
