I saw you just committed a bunch of changes to FP_LIB_TABLE. Did you include this patch or did you want me to apply it? I figured out the library save problem. What was happening is the library path was being converted to a wxFileName which was stripping off the extra '/' which converted: https://github.com/liftoff-sr/pretty_footprints to: https:/github.com/liftoff-sr/pretty_footprints which in turn caused wxUri to choke. I fixed it but if we are going to implement the lazy caching scheme, does it make sense to continue to deal with footprint libraries in this manner? I should get this fix committed today and get back to finishing up the rest of the footprint library table implementation.
