The checkboxes for copper layers should probably also be removed
but leaving them for now since they direct the user to the right
place to disable copper layers.
(The current one keeps pulling the Kicad Manager window to the front
on OSX.)
I also removed the UpdateUI stuff which was probably causing:

This changes the file format. All previous copper layers that had a user
defined name are forced back to the canonical name and the user defined
name is stored as an optional quoted string in the layer definition and
only used for UI and plotting purposes. All copper object layer names
are now the canonical name for internal file use.
ADDED: Nine new user definable non-copper layers that can be optionally
added to the board layer stack.
CHANGED: All board layers can now be renamed by the user.
CHANGED: User defined layer names can now contain space characters.

Drop all uses of wxRAISED_BORDER and wxSUNKEN_BORDER from dialogs and
panels used in main frame windows.
Drop use of wxSP_3DSASH options on all wxSplitterWindow definitions.
Minor dialog alignment and spacing fixes.
The colours don't add much in the way of comprehension and they
do add visual complexity. Same for the labels at the top of
the layers list box.
Also improved the grouping to make the presets aciton more clear.
(cherry picked from commit 1a03e13)
Also, remove a wxPanel border as it makes device-independent sizing
nearly impossible. For some reason wxPanel::GetClientSize() is returning
garbage here and breaks centering text without fudge factors. I think it
still looks good without the border, maybe better.
Improve dialog layout and fix UI policy issues with all of the dialog
boxes in the Gerbview and Pcbnew code paths.
Updated the use of component to footprint where appropriate.
This fixes potential DRC false positive bugs that occur when inner layers
are removed from the board but the actual objects on contained on those
layers remain in the board.
Since Pcbnew does not handle odd number layers, this is not a perfect fix.
When the user chooses the front or back layer only options from the layer
setup dialog, objects on the copper layers will not be removed. This will
not cause the false positive issue described above.
Get rid of dialog OK and cancel button event handlers and use the proper
TranferData(To/From)Window for handling control data.
Add PCB_LAYER_COLLECTOR for collecting board objects by layer. Factor out
redundant [] operators into base PCB_COLLECTOR object.

Also do not allow copper layers, solder paste and solder mask: put Ref or Value on these layers has no sense, and can create serious issues on the board.
2) Change from legacy Cu stack to counting down from top=(F_Cu or 0).
The old Cu stack required knowing the count of Cu layers to make
sense of the layer number when converting to many exported file types.
The new Cu stack is more commonly used, although ours still gives
B_Cu a fixed number.
3) Introduce class LSET and enum LAYER_ID.
4) Change *.kicad_pcb file format version to 4 from 3.
5) Change fixed names Inner1_Cu-Inner14_Cu to In1_Cu-In30_Cu and their
meanings are typically flipped.
6) Moved the #define LAYER_N_* stuff into legacy_plugin.cpp where they
can die a quiet death, and switch to enum LAYER_ID symbols throughout.
7) Removed the LEGACY_PLUGIN::Save() and FootprintSave() functions.
You will need to convert to the format immediately, *.kicad_pcb and
*.kicad_mod (=pretty) since legacy format was never going to know
about 32 Cu layers and additional technical layers and the reversed Cu
stack.
File "rules" has instructional text as comments near top.
2) Convert all text files in repo to LF line ending form.
Any checkout done with "rules" in play will convert the working
tree to native line ending, while keeping repo as LF line ending.
Finished the Layer Setup Dialog. I assumed that the new layer order will
be in place soon. It works fine now, but the layer order is probably
misleading, since it does not reflect the current stackup but rather the
future stackup. I dropped support for a single layer board. The minimum
is two copper layers. Avoid the side you don't want anything on.
Within a month I should have the layer visibility and selection widget
in place.
* Moved ReturnLayerName() to static BOARD::GetDefaultLayerName() and migrated
to a Specctra DSN compatible default layer naming scheme:
Component becomes Front, Copper becomes Back.
* set_color.h: Cmp becomes Front, Cu becomes Back.
* D_PAD::DisplayInfo() changed to use actual copper layer names.
* more layer setup dialog work, moved all programmatic wxControl instantiation
into the wxFormbuilder environment, but this is fraught with danger:
wxFlexGridSizer used the tallest control to establish the row heights, so
be careful about changing control borders in the scroll panel. The vertical
size can explode since just a couple of pixels times the number of rows
is substantial. Currently I am setting a 5 pixel border only left, top, and right
but not bottom.
* Set copper layer count is back in place as a hack until I can get the enabled
layer bit map fully operational.
