Proper renaming of sub-directory

[sgrogan]

Based on the discussion here:viewtopic.php?f=22&t=11723
I would like to rename /src/Mod/Idf/lib to /src/Mod/Idf/idflibs

Code: Select all

git mv /src/Mod/Idf/lib /src/Mod/Idf/idflibs

Would this lose the history for the folder and it's contents? Is this acceptable or is there a better way?

Would you mean idf?

Would you mean idf?

Yes I would.

I put a branch here:https://github.com/sgrogan/Freecad/tree/Idf-fix
But for instance a file with history, gets killed.https://github.com/sgrogan/FreeCAD/comm ... models.csv
What if the changes to this file are important. There must be a better way.
EDIT:

Code: Select all

git log --follow ./path/to/file

Hi,
I played a bit with the IDF importer and I'm improving the compatibility with IDF 3.0 standard...
https://www.simplifiedsolutionsinc.com/ ... 0_spec.pdf
I added the following features:
1. displaying Flat Mode models instead of wireframe as default view
(viewtopic.php?t=5848)
2. fixing version 3.0 for Geometry and Part Number
3. supporting Z position of emp models
4. skipping PROP in emp file to avoid aborting
5. adding color to shapes with internal code option IDF_colorize
I also removed the part of step search associations (through the file footprints_models.csv) which I think it is based on too old models, and moreover I don't think that it was even known by normal users; then idflib it is no more necessary
I think for IDF emp association to STEP models, eagle2pcb or kicad StepUp are more feasible...

Please have a look at the new IDFImporter (which is a WB) and test it with some emn, emp files
(I added some test IDF files that I got from freecad forum (LEDs.7z), 'IDFV3sample' that I got from the IDF 3.0 specification pdf file, and the 'IDF Example PCB w Holes' that I got from National Instruments http://www.ni.com/tutorial/7635/en/#toc1)
I also added a picture of the 'IDFV3sample' rendered in Design Spark Mechanical and in FreeCAD with the new version (with the old version it is not imported because of PROP and removing those, Z position of some models are not respected)

Do you think that features could be merged to the actual IDF importer?
PS (these improvements can also live with idflibs if required)
thank you
Maurice
