Re: [Kicad-lib-committers] kicad.pro with all schematic libs
Hi All,
I don't have a deep understanding about the internal working of Kicad, so I have no idea what I'm talking about :-)
When Kicad is started, I think the libraries are not yet accessed, until the user wants to place a new part in the schematic, the schematic is converted into a PCB, and other actions like that.
Is it possible to rework the library loading part of Kicad that a library is loaded only when accessed? This way the startup time of Kicad is faster, so the user can start to work on his project sooner. This also allows for users who don't have a large amount of RAM, but do want to be able to access a huge amount of libraries. This of course slows down the first access to a library.
Maybe to speed things up, Kicad can load libraries after startup, while it's otherwise idle.
Kind regards,
cedric

If all the libraries are added by default, it can take a significant amount of time to load them when KiCad starts. Perhaps we need to better inform users of the presence of these other libraries?

Does the default lib list ship with the kicad-lib or the kicad main program?
I think it should be the former so that the kicad-lib provides the defaults based on whatever libraries they deem stable and default, and kicad program reads in the lib list and loads the libraries in that list. Yes kicad will be dependent on kicad-lib in order to have any default libraries at all, but assuming people maintain kicad-lib it shouldn't be a problem.
I too found it annoying that a lot of libraries were not loaded by default and I had to add them manually.
