Hi Lev,
I might not clearly see the advantages of the new format now. What I miss is
the text form of the new format.
What I do is to open SCH or PCB in text editor and make changes manually
(for example exact positions of components in PCB, moving of particular
tracks, etc.). And with the new format, I am loosing this possibility. So if
it will be possible, I will use the actual file format.
Have you thought about extension of current file formats ?
What about SQL speed ? Is it much slower to open/save schematic or pcb ?
What about component attributes ? You will have some generic text fields and
another parser ?
My 0.05$ - my opinion is that get rid of guile and other obscure packages is
more crucial than changing file formats (which I personally like and am
accustomed to them).
"It has been a very busy week for me. My house is under renovation, and
there will be power cuts, so I can't really access my computer in the
next coming weeks. I can access emails though, but I don't really like
Google's interface.
I've noticed that the other apollon thread is still alive, although it
is hijacked. I start a new thread.
What I was able to do on the new data structure is this:
1. Get rid of the fixed layer format.
The layer data structure is now cut into two tables. One for the layer, and
the other is a layer type.
2. Angular definition is now in micro degrees.
Regards,
Lev
