Lib2Lib 0.10 beta-test 20071004r
                              (copyright Renie S. Marquet Oct/2007)


Warning: this is a beta test, still under development and may require many
adjustments.

This tool is being developed to facilitate the organization of
Eeschema  libraries of components.

A major reason for starting this tool came from the large number of libraries
converted from other software for the Kicad by other contributors to this great project,
manipulate, edit library by library, component by component into the editor
components would be almost impossible!

CAUTION: Before you change an existing library, make a backup copy to avoid
future problems (deleting a module by mistake, for example).

Note: the view of the components is not exactly like when inside the Eesquema is to
reference only, despite this, no copied component information is lost.

The screen consists of three main areas:

- Search: To view a library commonly used as a source, providing
components for a new library. Offers some display options (Zoom's)
and copy the component to the library issue.

- Editing: Here is the actual work area, allows a library to be open
modified to create new, edit the text commands that make up the components, delete
components, receiving components of research library etc..

- Command sets (area between the two earlier): Commands of the two navigation
libraries together, eg Next, change the presentation to the next component of both
libraries, especially useful to compare libraries.

In the editing area there are some special buttons besides the intuitive;

- Convert button: interprets the commands that compose the selected component, producing the
current image of it.

To Do:

- Identify problem converting some drawings of arches.

- Implement the same mechanism Tokicad enabling the translation of the interface and
messages to other languages.

- Create a HELP / manual!

- A few more things that arise :) !
