Hello everyone,
Thanks for the comments on this tool and the video.
...
Hi Dino,
Have you a more recent version of your tool, including a few
enhancements you have listed?
This tool is very interesting (although there are some issues to fix
in code, especially wxFrames
are used instead wxDialogs).
Orson, have you looked into this patch?
Even if you are working on something like a parametric editor, this
specialized tool could be an
interesting feature.
Hi, jp.
I have that version and I'll send a new patch soon (I'll have some
spare time next week).
I've also choosen not to send patches for a while since the team was
working on the 4.0.5 release and I would not like to add too many
things to do at a time.
I've sent also a "preview" of the newer version to Oliver some days
ago (I'm still beautifying the code) with new features added: it
evolved a lot from the one shown in the video: In the new version
there are:
-a 'copy spreadsheet data' that puts the table data in the
clipboard and can be used to paste the grid into a spreadsheet program
like excel or libreoffice calc or gnumeric (tested on gnumeric and
libreoffice)
-Field parameters like font, visibility, horizontal and vertical
justify can be now edited for selected cells.
-It is possible to select a whole column (ctrl+space) or row or a
block of fields and modify them in a single operation,
-It is possible to filter components on a 'by sheet' basis showing
only the components in the current sheet. Changing current sheet
updates the grid data.
-It is possible to select the content of a cell as column filter
from the right-click pop-up menu,
-It is possible to filter-out/in the 'commented' components (the
one with reference starting with '#' as the power symbols or ground
symbols)
-The 'common' filter options are now better organized
-If a field has a text style as bold or italic it is also shown in
bold or italic in the grid
-Right-clicking on a component the component footprint browser can
be launched to set the footprint
-live selection (if a component is selected in the spreadsheet is
centered on the schematic page, If a component is selected in the
schematic it is selected and centered in the spreadsheet)
-Correct field deletion (empty field for default fields and field
remove field if the field is optional)
-If a field does not exist for a particular component the cell has
a different background color
-If something is changed in the grid the schematic view is updated
realtime.
-New status bar at the bottom of the tool to see what the last
operation was or if there was some error in that operation.
The annoyance/bug is the undo: Since in kicad it seems there is a
different undo-list for every sheet that composes the whole schematic
a ctrl-Z on the grid undoes the operations on the current sheet only.
Another annoyance (always on the undo function) is that I'm able to
undo only an operation at a time, so if you change 500 fields at once,
to undo this operation you need to undo 500 times.
To fix this may be a change of the undo system should be needed.
Is there is some 'kicad undo guru' to find a solution, since may be i
just did not go to deep into the undo system implementation to see a
solution.
The missing part on this patch is also the user documentation, but I
think it is better to write that when the tool is stabilized.
Since I'm mostly a C/asm programmer, may be the programming style is
not very 'C++', but it is evolving...
Cheers,
Dino.
