[Pcb-bugs] [Bug 1005644] Re: Added "pcbignore" to ignore newlib dirs/files

[KaiMartin <10...@bu...>]

+1 to an implementation that shows "only footprints" as opposed to
"everything except for...".

I'd prefer a solution that looksinto the file rather than at an
expansion. This is more robust (and more unix style). Seems to me, the
detection magic needs to look at the first file that does not start with
"#". If this line starts with "Element", it most likely is a footprint.

Title:
  Added "pcbignore" to ignore newlib dirs/files

Status in PCB: Printed Circuit Board CAD package:
  New

Bug description:
  In my private newlib style libraries I have some non-footprint files,
  which were showing up in the Library window.  I noticed in the code
  (in file.c) that a few directories/files are hard-coded as to be
  ignored.  I figured that adding a user-configurable mechanism to
  ignore dirs/files would be more useful to others than just adding my
  names to the hard-coded list.

  So I implemented a simple "pcbignore" mechanism.  Allows for per-user
  and per-newlib ignore lists.  The patch adds an appendix to the
  doc/pcb.texi file (q.v. for details on use).
