I am doing the same thing. The fastest way I could find to do it is to edit directly the eeschema library file with a text editor.

Hi all ! Progressing on my project, I have a question about component/library management. The "Component list" feature of eeschema is quite convenient but is there a way to accelerate data input ? I would like to use custom fields of components to store manufacturer, part number, ordering info and doing it a component at a time is quite annoying ... My idea would be to input this straight in my custom library, then using its symbols would replicate those info to my schematic. In the end, when I inserting a 2SK1058 mosfet that would result in a component with Manufacturer field set to Hitachi, Part No 2SK1058, Ordering No 1234567 in my favorite store, and so on ... Thanks in advance for pointing me out any method, M.
