why are kicad's save files such a format zoo
- s-expressions (yay)
- also json
- ALSO ini
just pick one...
(preferably the first one)
ok so update
ini is just the old project format (.pro)
json is just the new project format (.kicad_pro)
s-expressions are used for schematics, layouts, symbols, footprints, etc
so if you start a new project today it's just sexp and json
i'm realllly not sure why they dumped json in there just for the kicad_pro file tho
makes no sense
kicad supports version control with git but provides no specialized merge tool which i think is kind of bad
they should have a graphical merge tool (pretty difficult probably, but would be rly useful) and then set up git to use it (not hard)
fuchsiaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
@haskal there's already a very cool kicad diff viewer (albeit not integrated in normal kicad), should be a few steps from there to have merging https://twitter.com/maholli404/status/1459744577674354690
