[Ktechlab-devel] Latest update on github: adding components to circuits should work correctly

[Zoltan Padrah]

Hi,

I've pushed a new update to the github repository:

https://github.com/ktechlab/ktechlab-0.3/commits/port-0.3.8-kde4-v1


- It should fix the issue with the multiplying values of the
components; now setting components' properties should work correctly.
- Also now the simulation should be pausable.
- Deleting components with the delete key should work now. Note that
this action doesn't appear in the right-click menu, although it
should.

Known issues:
- it doesn't build on 64-bit version of ubuntu 14.04, this issue needs
investigation;
- it crashes if components are dragged "too fast" to the circuit; for
this issue debugging inside Qt + KDE librarires is needed, because the
crash appears inside Qt.
- LEDs doesn't have colors (only appears in settings); needs investigation.

Feel free to test, and any feedback is welcome.

Best regards,

  Zoltan

> Changing voltage freq and clicking it again lowers it to 10 micro ohm.
> Actually while writing I found a pattern: click the resistor, click another

> I can't change the value to anything else once it's hit 'Mega', (to 10k or
> just 10 ohm) - however, I can turn it negative if I use the arrows to modify
> the value :S
> Same with a VAC source (freq./volt.) gets multiplied.
