| Subject: | [pcb-rnd] new: file overwrite ask (dialog box unification) |
Hi all, from now on whenever pcb-rnd exporters going to overwrite an existing file, pcb-rnd can ask the user for permission. Every exporter will use the same dialog box. In the past, we just silently overwritten the file (with a very few exception where some local code asked the user). This is what I expect, as a UNIX user - I tell the software to do something, so it does it, without questions. To preserve this kind of operation, there's a config node for skipping the question and always overwrite. The dialog box offers a checkbox to go in this mode, so you don't even need to remember the conf node path, just check in the checkbox and it will never ask that question again. This setting is saved in your user config. In batch mode, no question is asked, we always overwrite. This is because we do not want to break scripts. Finally, there are some exporters writing multiple files for a single export, e.g. gerber or ps. For those exporters, a 'yes to all' button is provided so you don't have to say yes to each file. I hope this feature will make the learning curve somewhat easier for new users, not accidentally overwriting existing files. So the default value of this config we distribute pcb-rnd with is to ask. Regards, Igor2
