I think we'd always wanted a footprint editor to be a mode in PCB, not a separate utility. That gives you all the HID graphics, editing tools, and support libraries built-in. File->Open->footprint edits the footprint, File->Open->layout edits a board. Or right-click-on-element then "edit element" to edit it in-place.
There has also been talk about changing the file formats (and thus parsers) to worry about, not that anything has happened that way. If it was to be a separate utility, you'd still want to just build it in the same src/* directory as the main pcb so that you have direct access to all the files therein, including the HID guis. _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list geda-user@moria.seul.org http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
