Separate splitter pane/view for projects and libraries in the Control Panel

rtzaudio

Would be nice if the libraries were listed in a separate splitter pane

view in the control panel. I'm always jumping between projects and parts

and find it annoying having to scroll back and forth so much.

 

Libraries, scripts, etc should be listed in a tree/view that is separate

from the users projects. Having to sift through large lists in control

trees all the time is irritating at best..

  • hI James & Bob,

     

    I 100% agree that the LIBRARY needs an overhaul! Not so much with designing

    parts, but with NAVIGATION and ACCESS and USABILITY.

     

    I want to purchase a full version of EagleCad but the CUMBERSOME Library

    really puts me off making a purchase!

     

    I would like to know what is planned for the library to be overhauled in

    the future, If it stays the same way as it is now for the next major

    release , I would be temped to look at other software! The rest of eaglecad

    is ok and I am happy with ( I am not saying that nothing needs to be

    done!)

     

    Regarding the CONTROL PANEL, I think it should be SCRAPPED Completely! Yes,

    Scrapped,

     

    1) We already have a file system for organising project folders and files,

    its called the operating system, theres no need to duplicate this.

     

    2) The LIBRARY should have its own WINDOW SINGLE Window that all library

    types activities take place, DRAG AND DROP needs to be more available, I

    should be able to drag n drop from anywhere to anywhere!

     

    3) ULP's are already stored away in a folder, so when we need to use them,

    just click on the ULP Button and up pop's a list! Simple really!  Same goes

    for SCRIPTS, Cam files  Design rules etc,

     

    My main WISH'S are..

     

    1) LIBRARY Overhaul. Needs it own ONE Window, NON MODAL! with all views

    available.

     

    2) Remove CONTROL PANEL Completely. When eagle opens up it should present

    EXACTLY what was left on the screen when the app was last shut down.

     

    3) Be able to open up more than one "Project" at a time!

     

    4) Some kind of NESTING of "circuits/Projects" . i.e I should be able to

    have say a power supply design ( Schematic & Layout) and INCLUDE that in

    another design, but with the option to LINK back to the original design for

    changes or just simple Copy and paste with no back annotation.

     

    5) A floating Properties window for parts that's NON MODAL, and with more

    attributes, perhaps in tabs within the window.

     

     

    thanks

    Dave M
