Just in case somebody comes along and asks what could be done... Yesterday I added: • pcb wish: tool tips for the GTK-GUI :-) My other zim notes of yesterday: • pcb wish: A context menu on right click • pcb wart: F10 opens the file menu rather than • pcb wish: The hole tool should be a mode of the polygon tool • pcb wish: different modes for the arc tool --> center+diameter+angle, quadrants, center+tangent, ... • pcb wish: filled circles • pcb wish: user configurable tool boxes and elements. • pcb wart: The color-file parameter in ~/.pcb/preferences requires an expicite absolute path. It does does not resolve "~" or "$HOME" • pcb-wart: There is no option --color-file to correspond with the parameter "color-file" in .pcb/preferences • pcb bug: Neither the option --crosshair-color nor --cross-color influence the color of the cross hair ---<)kaimartin(>--- -- Kai-Martin Knaak tel: +49-511-762-2895 Universität Hannover, Inst. für Quantenoptik fax: +49-511-762-2211 Welfengarten 1, 30167 Hannover http://www.iqo.uni-hannover.de GPG key: http://pgp.mit.edu:11371/pks/lookup?search=Knaak+kmk&op=get
