FWIW, I can imagine having a use for a preview when selecting a footprint in the attribute editor if the footprint= attribute is selected with a file chooser widget. So basically, when the above situation is at hand (the selection process of a footprint with the attribute editor), one could be bothered with a file chooser dialog to select the footprint file name (when and if a newlib footprint file) not for the sake of loading the footprint file, just for the sake of selecting a valid and existing *.fp filename (and maybe its path since newlib files can be stored anywhere in the file system nowadays, the file chooser dialog gives the path as a bonus if you bother to ask for it). Just another EUR 0.02 Kind regards, Bert Timmerman. _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list [email protected] http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
