It looks like the sorting needs to be eliminated from the part picker dialog in order to yield the correct part in the schematic even though it will not be as nice to use. Otherwise we are right back to the same problem. I'm surprised this issue hasn't been raised before now. > > If I have part 'R' in mylib, and it is also in library devices, it shows me > devices as my > top and only candidate as I type in 'R'. > If the picker can select part R from a library further down the library stack, that's not the one that will be shown in the schematic. Maybe as a stop gap measure we should check for duplicate part names in the picker and warn the user that part FOO in library BAR will be used but there is also a part FOO in library BAZ that may be the part they want and that the library search order must be changed in order to use the part FOO from library BAZ. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~kicad-developers Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~kicad-developers More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
