Open Sch & Brd files together

Is there a way to open an existing Sch & Brd file together, by default.

When I double click either Sch or Brd file name on the Eagle Control

Panel it asks "Do you also want to load xxx.brd?" (or xxx.sch). I always

respond Yes, sofar never had a need to respond No.

 

Is there a eaglerc.usr setting to force (or make as default behaviour)

the opening of Brd & Sch files together. If not, could it be

implemented. Much requested for!!!

Implemented for one of the next releases.

Ok, it's clear for me:

You hide everything that bothers you.

From a file manager I want to see all files. This for is a "file manager".

So what do you think the configurable and switchable view filters in

the file manager are intended for?

1. If you were not aware of this, Eagle Control Panel DOES show some pdf

files in tree. (It has a filter, but it's not so good in hiding pdf

IMO Eagle should not display it.

That's also my comment you requested in your other posting.

Or do you like to see only what make you happy (3 files shown, and 10k files

hidden, and then wander "where is the free space of the HDD?!")

But a full folder is a full foder no matter what file browser you use.

 

That's not the question, you suggested the Eagle Control Panel to show

a certain set of files, and that's what a good file manager already

does.

1. If you were not aware of this, Eagle Control Panel DOES show some pdf

files in tree. (It has a filter, but it's not so good in hiding pdf

files...)

2. what it's your opinion about files with arbitrary extension, files that

can be created with ulp's in project folder, and are perfectly visible from

CP?!!!

2. My concept is not "program oriented", but "project oriented"

 

Where is the difference?

Realy do you consider there is no difference?

3. and be honest... would you be bothered if Eagle could open pdf with

external application?

 

Yes.

Why? because it will know how to properly open a file that now it's

displayed in CP, and it's opened with integrated text editor?!

It is allready support writing pdf's....

 

So Eagle should also contain/support a Gerber Viewer, picture viewer

etc?

A custom filter shoud satisfy everybody. Default operation should be: sch,

brd, lbr, scr, ulp displayed, other files not. User (like me) could add

extensions in eaglerc.usr files, so this files could be passed to OS to be

opened.

Actually one person did request a pdf viewer to be built-into Eagle...

I admit, I'm that person, but it was just an idea (to display content of pdf

in the "information" area of the Control Panel)

But implies hard work from developpers, for ... almost nothing.

So I also admit it's not a good idea.

Why complain about 6 windows?

Because it could be better! It's not this the scope of the forum, where

developpers find user's needs ?

That said, I agree Eagle should have tabs, suggested it months ago.

I know, this is an other discution, on other thread

I highly disagree it should include a pdf viewer built in.

agree with you. It was a bad idea to create a built-in pdf viewer, by

electronics developper. There are many goods applications for this purpose.

or did they say that since EAGLE can generate a pdf file, it might as

well be able to display one? well, that might be taken either way,

especially if you did not get the whole context.

and stop hiding files in the

control pane - which is simplifying the code. if this is untrue, I

I will be very unhappy if no file filtering is available. The best

arrangement is to provide a customizable filter, which is not hard at all.

perhaps your ignorance of programming into the debate. please quote for

me where I, or anyone else, has asked for EAGLE to be aware of and

handle different file types. right, we only asked that they be opened in

the native application, not EAGLE, you misunderstood us. when we say

open, we mean "from the control panel", not "by the EAGLE application".
