Re: gEDA-user: Creating bill of materials?

[Joshua <Joshua@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I agree with Delorie.  I also was only making slow progress with 
gattrib.  I found the copy and paist functionality limited and strange. 
I also was confronted with the add column bug.  If I remember correctly 
it corrupted my files when it shifted the properties from one heading to 
the next.  That is why I started exporting to a oocalc.  Then I was able 
to get a lot more work done as oocalc is a refined product.  I hadn't 
found the sch2csv or csv2sch scripts at that time and thus made my own 
version called gattrib_csv.  Not only have I been able to edit the 
properties en-mass, but I have also been able to import data generated 
by other users provided as xls files.  I now use the one and the same 
tool to generate the bill of materials for the project as I do to edit 
the properties.
