Subject:	[geda-user] pcb patch: user way to ignore dirs/files in newlibs
Mime-Version:	1.0
Reply-To:	geda-user AT delorie DOT com

In my private newlib style libraries I have some non-footprint files, which were showing up in the Library window. I noticed in the code (in file.c) that a few directories/files are hard-coded as to be ignored. I figured that adding a user-configurable mechanism to ignore dirs/files would be more useful to others than just adding my names to the hard-coded list.

So I implemented a simple "pcbignore" mechanism. Allows for per-user and per-newlib ignore lists. The patch adds an appendix to the doc/pcb.texi file (q.v. for details on use).

Let me know if there's anything I could/should do to improve this.  Thanks.
