Ah, I was using it wrong. I was looking for someway to start a new lib,
not realising
I need to start a new footprint and then start a new lib from that.
Thanks and sorry
for that. Although, would be nice to be able to start a new footprint in
a new lib directly
when opening the footprint editor, I will add that as a wishlist, i
noticed some of my friends
did the same when trying to create a new lib.
The other part doesnt work for me though. I have set a path called
SHARED that
points to "/home/krille/projects/kicad_libs". I then use the wizard to
add the lib located at
"/home/krille/projects/kicad_libs/footprints/antennas.pretty".
expected outcome is that the library path will become
"${SHARED}/footprints/antennas.pretty"
outcome is that the library path become
"/home/krille/projects/kicad_libs/footprints/antennas.pretty"

Hello!
So it was a while since I made some noise, so its time again.
Is there a way to create new footprint libs from KiCad? I cannot find it,
right now I create them by mkdir name.pretty, thento be able to add them
with the wizard, I have to create a temp.kicad_mod file in that folder.
Should this be considered a bug, and if so, would it go into v5? I would
like to be able to add/create empty libs, and then populate them all from within
kicad.
In footprint library, the third tool.
(Tooltip: Create new lib and save current footprint)
I also noticed that the wizard does not autoreplace the paths with the
configured
paths in kicad the same way that the symbol library editor does. Should this
also
be considered a bug and would a fix be accepted in v5?

It works for me.
