Re: gEDA-user: Thoughts using gschem

[Sean D'Epagnier <sean@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi, last week we talked about having a project specific library.
I have had a look at the source code to gschem a little in hopes
of implementing this, but I have come up with something that might
be less intrusive and accomplish the same thing.

The origninal suggestion was to copy the symbol from the global library
into a project-specific library as soon as it was placed, then switch
to the project specific one.

Instead I proprose adding a button in the components dialog window that
will copy the selected component it to the project-specific library and
switch to it.  The actual location of the project directory could be specified
in gafrc, if not specified, maybe this button should not exist??  Or should
it use some default location?  or should it popup explaining how to enable
the feature?

If I do things this way, hopefully the only new code to add will be in the
button clicked handler, and it is a simpler change as well.

Have I missed something important?


On another note.. what do you think about having the ability to query
gedasymbols.org from within gschem?

Sean
