(It was on Footprint Defaults, which didn't make
any sense. Probably just ended up there because
there was similar code there.)
Also fixed a bug with accepting the dialog with
a grid cell editor open.
Also fixed a bug where the number of copper layers
would get set back to 2.
Also fixed a bug where the layer names weren't
getting updated in the Appearances tab.
* Manage the settings using the settings manager for better lifetimes
* Better architect the internals and JSON to make it easier to identify
the various tool types
Recommendation is to avoid using the year nomenclature as this
information is already encoded in the git repo. Avoids needing to
repeatly update.
Also updates AUTHORS.txt from current repo with contributor names
This prevents the dialog growing too much and going off a
smaller screen. It's also more consistent split to match
Pcbnew, which has the same graphical items settings and
allows more granular resetting and avoids confusing settings
that only apply to new footprints with settings that apply
to items with in a footprint.
Resetting is also then more granular, so you can reset text item
defaults without, say, also resetting your default line widths.
Create 2 wrappers for it: DIALOG_FOOTPRINT_CHOOSER and
FOOTPRINT_CHOOSER_FRAME. The first now gets called from wxGrid
editors, text button editors (such as Change Footprints), etc.
Retire FOOTPRINT_VIEWER_FRAME_MODAL. FOOTPRINT_VIEWER_FRAME still
exists, but has very few uses at this point.
Most of these settings are now available in the appearances panel.
It was concluded in a Zulip discussion that any missing items can
be added back in time if people find they need them (ie: complain).
Also hooks up 3DViewer to the common language framework.
Settings loading needs to account for potential chaining, so each
instance should be created before being Load()ed. Additionally, add the
settings loading to QA
Settings should be initialized on start-up. This removes the option of
lazily loading the settings from file and instead requires all settings
needed to be loaded on KiFACE start before requesting data from the
settings object
This adds Reset() method to KIFACE to reload global libs stored in
global static vars.
Also refactors some lib reload code in various frames to have
common MAIL_RELOAD_LIB handler.
Fixes https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/-/issues/12500
ADDED arc, circle and rectangle shapes for schematic. Shapes support
line styles and fill colors.
CHANGED sheet background color in Edit Text & Graphics Properties to
fill color (and it now affects shapes).
Pushed STROKE_PARAMS down into common and moved all shapes to using it
for stroke descriptions.
