I think we are still talking past each other on this problem.
No, we have understood you. The answer is: this feature is currently not supported. Nobody is currently assigned to this gitlab issue, so don’t expect it in the near future. 100% sure not in the current v7.0.x stable version (because stable version gets only bugfixes, no feature-enhancements) and I would guess also not in the v8 release (which is scheduled for next year).
It must be allowed to talk about it. With answers like, “then stay with Target” or similar nobody is helped.
sorry if my answer was too sarcastic. It referred to your opening topic which sounded like “the developers are dumb if they don’t implement this”. Your later sentences are much more adequate.
Of course we all can talk about this and other new features, I myself miss this also (switched from eagle to kicad). This feature is probably not implemented until now because of restricted developer resources. Only the core development team can tell you why exactly this or that feature is/is not implemented. But they should program and not do user support. So we wait and will see if and when this feature appears.
To give you a short indication how many features they add:
- for v7-version: Post-v6 new features and development news (these are 86 features, and some more are silently added without forum-comment)
- currently in development for upcoming v8 version: Post-v7 new features and development news
Of course not all features are interesting for you, but again thats life. The bigger the user-base gets the more different get the feature requests.
