Subject:[pcb-rnd] drc gui news: copy/paste and save/load works
replies: 2498 from Peter Stuge <pe...@stuge.se>
Hi all,
 
we can now convert the views in a drc list (generally speaking: view list 
window) into text (lihata). Using this, we have the following new 
features:
 
- copy/cut to the clipboard; you can then paste the result in other 
applications using ctrl+v, as plain text lihata
 
- paste: if such a lihata block is on the paste buffer, it is pasted in 
the current list
 
- save/load: the whole list can be saved to a file and later loaded from 
a file
 
In the context of drc, these features are not terribly useful, but the 
view-list idea is more generic and will be used more universally than just 
for the drc list, and these ideas will be more useful there.
 
On the other hand, this introduced a "system clipboard" API in our HID 
API. Later on we may also place pcb-rnd buffers and other stuff there, 
which will give us another long missing feature: copy between pcb-rnd 
instances using the clipboard.
 
Best regards,
 
Igor2
