Not if the linked list contains stuff which certainly is not of any use
(as an example the plotting layer scan was already given in the past).
That was what I was referring to. If you mean 'everything on the board'
then, sure, it was a misunderstanding of mine.

Ok, then it was only a misunderstanding. Good.

Yes I think that the UI should have localized names. The footprint files
can contain whatever they want (where I was suggesting to change them?)

Also we are simply discussing what would the best feature set and the
following implementation, I'm not proposing any concrete code (the only
coding I've done is raising the count to 64, and that's in my private
branch).

Are we at a point where we can't even *suggest* things?
