I finally got the new schematic I/O plugin fully functional for the current schematic and symbol library file formats. When you have some time, please test this to see if I've missed anything. I've pushed it to my repo on launchpad here:
https://code.launchpad.net/~stambaughw/kicad/+git/kicad-dev/+ref/use-symbol-library-table There is a noticeable performance hit on start up when loading a schematic. I'm not sure why this is happening but I believe it has to do with the cache validity test being called on every symbol search. I verified that the cache isn't being reloaded but I'm a bit surprised that there was as much of a performance hit. If you happen to notice something I missed please let me know. I am primarily concern with the accuracy and stability of the library file I/O at this point. I tested everything I could think of against the current code and always got the same file results but there may have been some corner cases that I missed. The performance hit will be temporary. Once the symbol library table support is implemented, the symbol search through the entire library list will go away. Either the symbol is in the library specified or it's not. I will probably introduce lazy loading as well once the symbol library table is implemented as only libraries that contain symbols in the schematic will need to be loaded when the schematic is opened. Many thanks in advance for the help.
