Oops! Sorry about that. I fixed the contributor names with non-ascii characters. On 11/30/2017 8:21 AM, Nick Østergaard wrote: > It seems that some characters are not rendered properly in the names > anymore, like Ø. Maybe this is because of the removal of the wxT macros. > > 2017-11-28 0:23 GM

It seems that some characters are not rendered properly in the names anymore, like Ø. Maybe this is because of the removal of the wxT macros. 2017-11-28 0:23 GMT+01:00 Wayne Stambaugh : > Oliver, > > I merged your patch in the development branch. > > Thanks, > > Wayne > > On 11/26/2017 06:07 AM,

Please keep in mind that contributors list is for devs who contributed significant amounts (this is at the discretion of the project leader) of code, doc, images, etc. to KiCad. Contributing a minor patch or two does not justify having your name in the contributors list. If you have made signific

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

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" wrote:

2017-11-23 Thread Oliver Walters
As mentioned in previous thread, I have made some slight changes to the About dialog. 1. Wording / link tweaks 2. Removed references to outdated links (now better served from the kicad-pcb.org site) 3. Removed "artists" tab - very outdated, 3D models are now community contributed I have also adde
