Prior to fp-lib-table, is was possible to load the wrong footprint if the path search order was not correct. This cannot happen with fp-lib-table not matter how many duplicate footprint names you have.
I'm not sure what "messy" new format you are speaking of but the current board and footprint library formats are significantly better the legacy format and the fp-lib-table is far superior to the old path search method of looking up footprint in libraries. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~kicad-developers Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~kicad-developers More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
