Thanks to + Brian Sidebotham for the origins of this patch. + https://lists.launchpad.net/kicad-developers/msg04828.html + + A template fieldnames are a list of template elements + consisting of {name, value, visibility} which you want shown in the eeschema + component fieldname (property) editors (both schematic and library versions + of the editors). Template fieldnames are forced into the editors' + presentation of the fields even though those fields may not exist in the + component. Entering a non-blank value while in a field editor will cause the + field & value to be retained in the component. Therefore it is unusual to + provide a non-blank '.value' in a template, because a trip through the field + editor will invariably add that field to the component since the template + being applied has initially a non blank 'value'. The current template editor + is only going to last about a week and it does not support adding non-blank + template values yet, nor visibility control, only field '.name'. But the + template fieldnames configuration storage and component field editors do + know how to handle template.visible and template.value already, in addition + to template.name. See the file .eeschema in your home directory for the + configuration storage, keyword: FieldNames. e.g. only field Manufacturer has + a '.value': + + FieldNames=(templatefields (field (name "Manufacturer")(value "IBM 12")) (field (name "Vendor")) (field (name "Installed")) (field (name "Ralphy") visible)) + + DSNLEXER is used to parse the FieldNames record, & OUTPUTFORMATTER to generate it. + + +2010-jun-15, UPDATE Jean-Pierre Charras +================================================================================ +bitmap2component: + Use wxWidgets. + Better user interface + More bitmaps file format import (from wxWidgets) + This tool does not use Kicad classes.
