SnapEDA tool issues (v4.1.2.0)

#1 Post by Arcturus » 25 May 2021, 01:30

New SnapEDA search tool is a very convenient feature, but it has more than few issues:

1. It takes more than second for window to open

2. Window isn't resizable, while table columns are

3. Whole program becomes unresponsive while waiting for search results

4. Search results are inconsistent and misleading sometimes
Example: 24 components found, but only 17 are listed. Search on snapeda.cpm website shows 50 components.

5. "Save to library" menu doesn't have "Select library" option, only "Add to active" and "Create new".
To change active library I must close search window, select another library, then reopen window.


Nice to have features:
1. Link to component page on snapeda website
2. Availability icons for symbol, footprint, 3d model, etc (like in search results on snapeda website)
3. Component image
4. 3d model preview when saving
5. Ability to use main window with search window open

Thank you for the feedback.
1. The window appears pretty fast.
2. Yes, the window is not resizable. What do you expect to see if you could resize?
3. It takes some time to send request and receive response. Delay on SnapEDA server is out of our control.
4. We exclude empty or incomplete items (that can't be used in active program) from search result. Therefore number of items may be less than on snapeda.com.
5. We use our standard options to insert selected component either to active library or new one.
Thank you for feature requests, we will consider them.
