Really, it has to happen on load, since you cannot parse and FPID string which has : or / in the library name, and / in the footprint name. So two separate policies are needed, one for nicknames and one for footprints, and footprint renaming has to happen on load, else you will blow up well before you go to save, just parsing and FPID.
