Thanks Tom, apology accepted.

Another thing we get by supporting multiple open projects and paste, is we are 
only one
step away (i.e. COPY) from having copy and paste across projects, and therefore 
libraries.

This is leaner than the current methodology of having to switch "current 
libraries" to
move a footprint from one to another.  And while yes code improvements could 
also have
brought this, what we're seeing with this multiple project approach is the 
footprint
movement support *without changing existing code* to any great extent.   That 
sounds like
free to me.

Just have to add paste, and copy.


I wanted paste so I can grab text from a page like this

  
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/KiCad/Transistors_SMD.pretty/master/sc70-6.kicad_mod

or this

  https://github.com/liftoff-sr/pretty_footprints/blob/master/100-LQFP.kicad_mod

from my browser using the browser's page COPY support, and then simply paste it 
into the
module editor.

BTW, notice:

1) the http links from this page to each footprint's raw format:

  https://github.com/liftoff-sr/pretty_footprints

2) The fp_lib_table fragment which facilitates rapid installation of this 
library into the
library table dialog editor.
