I see, so the preferred sharing method will probably be zip files with a single folder. Is there anything else that will unify the footprints except being in the same directory (and having a reason for being lumped together)? Like a common index file or something? What I would love I guess, is some documentation on the new format as I am working on a library sharing site. I have started with using the old format and have begun making a convenient way for people to select multiple footprints and then download them as one file. It would be really good to be able to make sure the work I am doing now won't be obsolete when KiCAD switches format. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~kicad-developers Post to : kicad-developers@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~kicad-developers More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
