Dick, I'll look into that und hopefully provide my changes as a patch within the next few days, thank you.
Lorenzo, I'm happy that this really could be usefull to someone. I would like to create more footprint wizards and/or other plugins/scripts for KiCAD in the future. The code isn't really that much by the way, most of the code is "housekeeping" (clean console outputs) and the creation of silkscreen lines for the outline of the module (7 single lines). Chris, according to pcbnew.cpp:128 the installation destination of KiCAD Python plugins under Linux is "/usr/local/kicad/bin/scripting/plugins". Under Windows it is "[KICAD_PATH]/scripting/plugins". The destination under Linux seems to be subject to change (and should be). I, personally, created a symlink from /usr/local/kicad/bin/scripting/plugins -> ~/.kicad_plugins (under Linux) so I don't have to mess with root filesystem directories for installing user plugins. But make sure you are using a KiCAD version with scripting enabled! Look for the daily builds by Adam Wolf for a prebuilt version.
