Issues reported on KiBot integration

[leoheck]

This discussion is happening here INTI-CMNB/KiBot#391
I am just summarizing here the issues that are being listed there.

• 1. dos2unix is really needed?
• 2. when plotkicadsch is missing, then Xdotool is used. If it fails the keyboard is left changed to US.
• 3. It would be nice if --kicad-cli could force the use of kicad-cli even for KiCad 5 files.
• 4. Layout does not have changes when using this command kiri -D --kicad-cli -l
• 5. Just a single instance of the schematics pages is being displayed, and this may hide changes (refdes, values maybe).
• 6. Performance issues with kiri output on large projects with large schematics.

Notes:

1. Definitely not, dependency was removed.
2. This was addressed and the improvement was already pushed.
3. It does, the detail is that kicad-cli does not work for Kicad 5 schematics.
4. The fix was pushed, and the output looks way better now.
6. This was improved by optimizing svgs with svgo, if it is available.

Just as note, was already discussed;)
Weird flickering behaviour of commit info and scrollbar when having selected two files to compare and hovering over the third one (mid area)

yeah but I cannot recordist this. are you using mouse?

[Nudelsalad]

Yes I am using mouse. It appears to be only when hovering over the third item in the list. Sry that my mouse is not visible, but the flickering was always when hovering over the 3rd item below the schematic and pcb symbol
