Towards better BOM management

IMHO yes, if not it should be

Just a heads up, this table is currently in the nightly version of kicad, in case someone has missed it.

KiBoM can export to TSV which avoids this issue. Also any delimiters that appear in the data are escaped by quoting the entire string.

At first I made a simple tool to manage my BOM as they were going too complex to manage them from a single spreadsheet, I recently upgraded it to be a full BOM management tool.

You can have a look on it at https://github.com/turdusmerula/kipartman.
This version is fully usable but note that it’s still under development so everything is not yet available.

You can manage a database of parts with associated footprints and maintain your BOM from this part catalog. I plan to extend it to enable a KiCost like functionality.
