Thanks for the help. I am having trouble running your scheme branch. When I open gschem it says: gschem: error while loading shared libraries: libgeda.so.40: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory Because there is really libgeda.so.39 being installed.

I never needed LD_LIBRARY_PATH defined before, but now it works. The script opens a dialog to save the symbol and it also loads the symbol on its own page. I think we could skip the file chooser and make this function open the modified symbol in the Hierarchy menu in a Down

I think it would be a big advance to port the gschem/pcb formats to javascript and svg. It would make geda accessible to every platform and really make it easy for new users to get started. It would make development easier if you only support a set of standards instead of

web-geda would save and load files in the current geda format and only draw in SVG. SVG is really efficient to parse in javascript, panning and zooming will as responsive or more responsive than desktop-geda. SVG also has built in events such as mouseover and click that work on
