Hi,

built your branch on OS X.

Good thing is that build did work for me.
I just quickly fired up pcbnew and loaded an existing board… seems to work.

But, it doesn’t seem to have a real effect on code size (first one is my current working version, second one your branch):
bstegmaier$ ls -al /Applications/KiCad-5648/kicad.app/Contents/PlugIns/

The comparison isn’t accurate in any way… both binaries do use different KiCad revisions and the build of your branch is done without github plugin, my working version is with github plugin.

Nevertheless… I think you would have expected a quite significant difference?


Regards,
Bernhard
