[Garth Corral <gcorral@xxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks, Adam.

Before I respond, I’d just like to say to Adam what a fantastic job he’s done with the OS X nightly packages.  I took a look at these and they’re great.  Others have pointed out a few remaining niggles, but these are tiny compared to the huge win for the Kicad and the OS X users.  It was a huge effort, I’m sure, and probably annoying at times, but I don’t want it to be thankless.  Thank you, Adam.

Nick, I think Adam wasn’t referring to issues, per se, but rather to some things that I brought up on the list, as he has pointed out.  There’s a bit more detail in this commit message:

http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~gcorral/kicad/osx-trackpad-gestures/revision/5244 <http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~gcorral/kicad/osx-trackpad-gestures/revision/5244>

There were some small, intentional changes I made to the behavior that make sense on OS X, and I just wanted to make sure that they were sane on other platforms as well.

If I recall correctly, there was no straightforward way to propagate the mouse preferences from pcbnew to the 3d_canvas, and there was no place at all to hang the preferences for pl_editor.  Orson and I had a very brief conversation on-list about where these prefs belong, but it wasn’t more than a passing thought.  I’m sure it these are solvable without too much drama, but it was about this time that I was pulled away from kicad by an increased workload at work and some family issues.

I hadn’t thought about requesting a merge simply because I wasn’t sure I’d have the time to work on it.  I can try to make some more time for this if folks think it’s important, but I can’t reliably predict the outcome.  As it stands now it should be pretty usable on OS X unless one or more of my merges went badly.  I’m using it in my builds and haven’t noticed anything, but I haven’t been exercising it as much as I’d like.
