Hi I'm a fairly experienced pcb designer but am new to kicad and have been 
struggling to create parts with the library editor. I want to use parts from 
existing librarys as a template to create new parts. The only problem is I 
can't seem to change the name of the part which is getting really annoying. 

I go into library editor and select a library. Then i choose a part from this 
library and edit it and then i open the new library to save it in and am forced 
to save it with the same name. Why is there no option to change the name?!

I'm wondering if my copy of kicad has a bug. I can't find an option to change 
the part name. In library editor every icon to the right of zoom auto is greyed 
out. 

Can someone please tell me what I'm doing wrong or if I should be looking for 
another copy of kicad. My build is 20090216 and i only started using it a week 
ago so its not as if i have an ancient copy.
