The lightbulb which lit up in my head in response to that suggestion:... I've long wanted "rat parts", so I could list a load of footprints for PCB to queue up for placement. I didn't know what this would look like until now. I'd thought about a tab in the library window, with un-placed parts by name (complete with refdes etc.. when placed). Another idea was a window with the parts drawn graphically (like a long strip of design area where the elements are displayed in a row). I imagine the parts-browser should be tree-like in structure (matching my design hierarchy), and that I can filter the selection list for parts which don't yet exist on the board, place / disperse selected groups / elements onto the board area etc... ;) Very excited about this idea.. shame I've no time to code it for the forseable future.
