Steven,
I am currently playing around with this idea, actually. I'm converting
the layout from a wxGrid to wxDataViewCtrl which allows each "group"
to be expanded (to show which components are contained therein) and
many other advanced features.
This may turn into more than just a BOM tool.

This looks really nice, this would be awesome if it allowed you to
edit the BOM as well, for example, your line 3, change 0.1uf to
1uf and C1, C7, C8, C9, C10 and C16 all change their value in the
schematic to match. Obviously there are things you wouldnt be
able to edit, such as Reference and Qty, but everything else
should be editable.
It would make keeping component annotations orderly very simple
and bulk edits very very simple.

Hi all,
I have been working on a BOM exporter built into KiCad (in
addition to the external BOM script functionality that already
exists).
It's not ready yet to be merged but I am showing the progress
here to get any input and in case anyone else is working on a
similar feature.
Here's a screenshot of the current tool (launched from eeschema)

Features that are implemented thus far:
- Extract all component fields
- Group components based on user-selectable fields
- Show conflicts when groups cannot be merged
- Show/hide various columns
- Sort part references in natural fashion, e.g. C99 < C100
- CSV export
- TSV export
- HTML export
Features still to be implemented:
- Sort by column (ascending, descending)
- Save BOM preferences to project file
- Add filters to each column to include/exclude groups by
wildcard or regex
- Back-annotate component data (bulk update all components in a
group)
So, thoughts? I feel that a proper BOM tool has been sorely
missing from Kicad thus far.
If I continue to work on this is it something that is likely to
be merged?
Regards,
Oliver
