Yes, it shows what is in the xxx.pro file. The xxx part is quite some magic I also don’t fully understand… I think normally it is equal to file name of the schematic or project. If nothing is given (start eeschema without anything standalone), then I guess it was supposed to use the kicad.pro template from the search paths. But, this was broken… just an empty file was used. That’s the issue I just sent a small patch for... >> * What determines what is in that top pane for new projects? > > I think the explicitly defined libs, which is saved in the pro file. (I think) With the patch I sent, the kicad.pro template from the search stack (on OS X this most likely will be the one from the app bundle) will be copied once to the preference folder and will be used from then on.
