Re: [PATCH] hiding nets from ratsnest

 

Hi Julius,

Thank you for the patch, but at the moment I am not sure we can push it.
We would like to have the feature you implemented, but there is a new
connectivity algorithm on the way, which may be much different compared
to what we have now.

There is also a minor bug, which causes ratsnest lines for other nets to
disappear until the ratsnest is refreshed. I have also found some code
formatting violations, but these I could fix myself.

The last question is, does anyone mind extending the net list dialog
with a new column? Personally I have nothing against, but perhaps there
are better ideas for the UI implementation.

Regards,
Orson
