Option GUI (alpha LVS)

[bmurmann]

I am having some trouble getting the options from the GUI to be correctly reflected in the LVS run. I see that the yml file gets updated when I click an option, but when I click "load pdk options" the sync between the menu buttons and the yml is lost until all options are manually toggled into alignment again.

Furthermore, when I start KLayout, the yml file has schematic_simplify: true, but the GUI menu has Netlist simplify enabled (and not netlist simplify).

Why is there a "tile" run option for LVS?

Also, just a suggestion for the documentation of the options, I found this to be a useful explanation from the KLayout manual: Netlist simplify is a wrapper for "make_top_level_pins", "purge", "combine_devices" and "purge_nets" in this recommended order.
