This is not a trivial fix. Blindly copying the default global library tables every time they change would overwrite any user customization which is a not an option. It then becomes a merge operation which is far more complex. I'm not opposed to an optional merge solution if someone has the time to implement it. _______________________________________________ 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
