Hi,
I tried to alter all the .sch files of my project using regexp for mass rename/change/delete of some fields.
It works well but I found some little things not described in the file format specifiactions.
https://kicad.org/help/legacy_file_format_documentation.pdf
section 1.3 for “F” lines
-
sometimes the lines are terminated with a “space” character and sometimes not.
Removing this final space at the ends of the lines seems to have no side effect.
is that correct ? -
sometimes fields are seperated by more than a single space.
(near X and Y position when theses values are low)
Reducing to only one space seems to stay correctly read by the software.
is that expected ? -
removing some F lines leaving missing values in the sequence number seems to be ok
kicad seems to renum the F lines on next file save.
is that expected ?
I also noticed that the “flags” fields documented as
Flags: visibility = 0 (visible) or 1 (invisible)
is in fact four digits. invisibility being the last one.
Are the other three reserved values ?
