Re: [PATCH] PL Editor UI improvements

 

Hi Orson,

I used that term because I felt it was more 'user friendly' than append. I
shall attach an updated patch when I get the chance hopefully tonight.

Following from Olivers message on "[PATCH] minor icon improvements", I
noticed the KiCad manager uses the term "Worksheet layout editor" in the
tooltip for the page layout editor in the main toolbar. Do people prefer
the term "Page layout" or "worksheet"? I prefer the latter as in my opinion
its more succinct and less likely to confuse "page layout" with "page
settings". I can include the changes to using "worksheet" in the same patch
if you think this is a good idea.

Regards,
Michael
