Tried with a new issue report, hopefully made correctly this time.
What I understand, this what I call an issue/bug has now ben downgraded/classified as not a bug on Gitlab.
It’s now a feature request. Still valid.
What does this mean?
and . . .
Here is the info box for 8.99 on my Mac: I don’t understand the meaning of it obviously.
If, for example, you place the same track on both sides of a two layer PCB one will be removed as both satisfy the Net requirement. One of the tracks is redundant . . . but this is only programmed for simple tracks, as crafyjohn has commented in your GitLab issue/feature request
“. . . but this is only programmed for simple tracks, as crafyjohn has commented in your GitLab issue/feature request”
That part is the difficult part to understand for me.
I don’t know for sure, but I can surmise that the code written to perform this task was done to address the simple case where a user had placed a track over the top of an existing one maybe just to make the track wider to to change layer. So code was written for this simple case and the more complex scenarios were not addressed at that time.
Ah ok, thanks, that makes sense, let’s hope, which I think will happen soon, they will fix this so the function will become complete.
Don’t hold your breath . . . I don’t see need for a fix as it’s most likely not broken (vs initial requirements) so does not need fixing.
What you are looking for is new additional functionality . . . there is a long list of those.
