Hi Santiago.
Thank you for your great job.
I sent you a little donation... please tell me if you receive it.
Thank you again
Giovanni Di Maria

Hey Giovanni, thank you very much!!

Is quite fullfilling when people apreciate your work.

Best regards.

[Giovanni Di Maria]

How can i use BOM?
Thank you?
Giovanni

[Santiago]

Right-click on any empty aprt of the circuit
Select last option: "Bom"
A text file will be saved in the same folder of the circuit file.
File name will be: "circuit_name-bom.txt"

Let me know how it works for you.

[Giovanni Di Maria]

Ok... Thank you.
It works fine!
I think that it should be useful to show a message: "the file xxxxx-bom.txt has been created in the folder of schematic...... "
What do you think?

[Santiago]

Yes, you are right, the user should know what happened.

Or... do it like save as image:
With a file dialog where user choose name and place to save, being by deafault xxxxx-bom.txt and circuit folder ???

[Giovanni Di Maria]

Yes. Good!!!

[Francisco Demartino]

That's quite the feature list ;) Congrats on the release!

I've noticed the source tarball is missing for this version. Is this intended?

[Santiago]

Oooppss.. yes, forgot the sources.

Thanks!

Very good software.
I have two problems, but I would like to be solved by my personal greed.
Addition of electrolytic capacitor and minus power addition.
Thank you.

[Santiago]

Hi youngwug, your personal greed maybe useful for others too.

Indeed you found a bug: Sources can't be set to a negative value.
Hopefully this will be solved in 0.2.8-SR1 planned to be published in a few days.

About electrolytic capacitor: How do you think it should behave when it's reverse polarity?

[youngwug@gmail.com]

I would like the electrolytic capacitor to flicker.
And this program is really good.
Thank you.

[Santiago]

Flickering looks good idea, i think i will use also for leds when max current is surpassed.

"Sources can't be set to a negative value" is solved, it will be available in 0.2.8-SR1 planned to be published in a few days.

Thanks to you for testing and reporting.
