Since some time we have been working on eeschema library editor with the
goal of simplifying the user interface. Now it is available for
beta testing [1] and I would appreciate some feedback.
Changes:
- symbol tree widget (thanks to Michele Castellana)
- opening multiple components at the same time
- creating a new library adds it to the project libraries
- cut/copy/paste symbols between libraries
- most of the actions are available in the top menu now
I have modified a few icons too (import/export/save part), though they
need pixel-accurate scaling to look fine, so for now they are just an
idea to be discussed.
I invite you to build the code and take it for a test drive, but if all
you want is a quick overview of the changes, then there is a short
screencast too [2].
Regards,
Orson
