Kicad also wants all annotations to end with a number. Do you have any that end with a letter?

You can either close/open a new one, or repurpose this one: whichever you'd prefer.

(But if you do repurpose this one, make sure to change the title and description.)

I think we've always displayed the dynamic ratsnest irrespective of the "normal" ratsnest setting. I suspect at this point that some users have the ratsnest turned off but still want to see the dynamic one, so we'd probably need separate controls to address this....

Yep.

I'm not sure what the issue is here. We'll need more complete steps to diagnose.

@kicad/code/lead_devs can anyone on GTK reproduce this?

So I will see one screen symbol, his footprint and his 3D model, with simply scroll in library between symbols.

And with possibility change the symbol, footprint and 3D model.

We refer to these as "atomic parts" in Kicad. There is some support for them via database symbol libraries. We don't yet have a timeline for future improvements to them.

With possibility global editing and sorting in the  table, with possibly many system of sorting by column or more columns. Also global editing symbol item.

Or moving this to excel and use the power of excel.

And with standard saving the changing.

We don't have any improvements to the Library Symbol Fields Table currently on the road-map (at least not to my knowledge).

Description

There is a menu to toggle attributes like "DNP" and "Exclude from..." in Edit -> Attributes. This is also available for rule areas. For rule areas, the toggles are always off and toggling them does not work.

Steps to reproduce

1. Create a rule area in any schematics and select it.
2. Open the Edit -> Attributes menu and toggle any of the attributes.
3. Confirm in the edit dialog of the rule area (press 'e' when rule area is selected) that the attribute was not toggled.
4. Repeat for all attributes.
5. Toggle all attributes in the edit dialog of the rule area to "on".
6. Open the Edit -> Attributes menu and confirm that none of the attributes are set.

The Edit -> Attributes menu is shown when selecting a rule area, but the checkbox state is not reflecting the rule area's actual attributes and toggling them is without effect.

See #23400.

We didn't use EDA_TEXT::Format() for formatting the barcode text, so this will be a file-format change....

(I think for now we should make everything variant-aware -- just based on the "least surprise" rule.)

Since the fields can be library-specific, implementing this would mean storing the settings in the library. We'd probably also need named settings, as people will have multiple libraries that they want to be the same....
