I’m wondering if the following has been discussed, and perhaps on a list already:
I currently use File → Plot to generate PDF output for eeschema.
Basic functionality works great. However, it would be useful to me if the output file dialog would allow the use of template strings (other variables?) in the output file name.
Perhaps something like:
Output filename definition:
“myProject_”+${Title}+"_Rev"+${REVISION}+"-"+${Comment8}"
Output filename result:
myProject_Illudium-Q-36-Explosive-Space-Modulator_Rev1224-x314.extension
…where extension is specified by the current selection of the Output Format bullet list.
With the output directory and file definition saved for the project when next time KiCad is started up.
Is this a new & worthy endeavor?
