This makes the filters similar to output options.
- Adds coherence to error messages.
- Enable aliases (used the ones suggested by @leoheck)
Additionally now the README.md preflights documentation comes directly
from --help-preflights
Now the options are just an attribute of the outputs.
It means we have a set of classes for the options.
All the output content is parsed by the classes, including the Layers.
Now the layers support a simple string (with interesting shortcuts), a list of
strings or the original list of dicts.
Now the legacy drill.map.type and drill.report.filename are specified in this
way.
The BaseOutput class now inherits from Optionable.
Suboptions are just Optionable classes.
Also: added traceback print when an error is reported and we are in debug mode.
After analyzing all the forks I found that at least 6 forks tried to fix the
Inner.X vs InX.Cu difference.
Also one seems to add support for the names used by pcbnew, but breaks
compatibility with old config files.
They can be added from ~/.config/kiplot/plugins/
Also sorted the preflights in the YAML example and allower -v for
--help-list-outputs, needed to know from where are the plugins loaded.
The --help-outputs and --help are embedded in the README.md
To make it easier to read now options are enclosed in `` and the list of
outputs is sorted.
Implemented in a different way.
For all internal commands now we use Python bindings to fill the zones as
suggested by @arikrupnik in johnbeard/kiplot#11
For 'print_pcb' now we ask KiCad to do it before printing (needs v1.4.1)
The Python in the virtualenv doesn't know about pcbnew module.
When installed normally, this can be provided when setting up the
virtualenv. This lets you avoid messing about with PYTHONPATH.
The old instructions apply when KiCad is not installed to the
system (common when developing)
