xgsch2pcb doesn't have any dialogs to edit such extra properties yet, and we didn't implement the .gsch2pcb file parser to ignore / store options it doesn't understand. (It should really store them to re-save). Does anyone know if any gsch2pcb project file options are order sensitive? This is one of the major outstanding issues for xgsch2pcb to be generally useful. I workaround it myself by putting my footprints in a "packages" directory (searched by gsch2pcb without any extra options), and avoiding M4 incompatible footprint names. Please file a bug on the xgsch2pcb portion on sourceforge, reminding me (or anyone else) to implement this feature.
