Hi,
If the WINK project can be opened in the linux version I will be OK.
If it can't the tutorials will have to be redone under Linux.
I use Fedora Core 4, so I am familiar with Linux.
This will take me longer.
I have over 300 screen captures so far just for the EESchema
tutorial,the PCBNew tutorial will need even more.
Anyway, I'll see what I can do.

Any chance you could do it in an OS agnostic form so Linux users can
benfit too?

I agree that the font is a bit small even at 1024x768. :)
Another suggestion, based on the source code comment:

Compute a font point size for texts showed in Msg_Panel or
Status Lines. The best point size is equivalent to a point
size = 10 for a 96 ppp Arial font This is necessary because
system or default fonts can be bigger if we have selected 120
ppp fonts (big fonts), and messages are too longs and they
are truncated on display

Perhaps rather than displaying the information about certain
buttons, at least, in the status bar it would be easier to use
tooltips. This way they appear in a more logical place and
don't get truncated.

peace,
core

Agreed, perhaps you can put screenshots on the new wiki.

Esteemed reflectees,
my problem is the font readability. A very small, Times faced font appears in the lower status bar as well as in many menus, ie. in the component library selection (but not in all menus).
Tested the last version in both Linux and Win XP environment, both behaved nearly similar. Because of screen resolution used (1280 x 1024) I simply can't read a 6 pt. font, even worse if Times faced. Therefore I suggest to change this font to a bit bigger size with Helvetice face.

Except for the EXE part (avid Linux user here) I'm all for it.

Well done. I have added a link to it in the links section of the group site.

Hi Bryan,

Good deal! This should help a lot.

After seeing a request earlier this week for a KiCad wiki, I went ahead
and set one up at the following site:



There's not much there currently except for some info on my friend
Charlie's and my personal hacking on the KiCad codebase, but hopefully
that will change quickly!

The site isn't official in any way, but I would like to have it help
kickstart a community of sharing among people that use KiCad.

Currently I'm requiring people to be logged in to edit pages. The idea
is that this will cut down on wiki-spam, but if there's a large outcry I
can change this.

Bryan

Hello Chuck,
2 Ideas :
- You have bad sectors on your hard drive; in this case, you can try
to rename your kicad directory as kicad_old_install, and re-instal one
more time kicad in a new kicad directory, but in an other location on
your hard drive.

- A problem occured when you downloaded the kicad files; in this case,
try (if possible), to download one more time the .zip file, and
re-install it.

Hoping this will help.
Regards.
搁é尘测.

from Elect. Workbench. - I downloaded and installed both the
Kicad-2005-10-27.zip and the doc_components-2005-09-07.zip files and
have Kicad directory.
Everything seems to run fine, however regardless of which or any
project I load, I always get two errors
1 - Library <library/device.lib> not found and
2 - Library <library/power.lib> not found.
