I think people would be opposed to using regexes in the footprint filters. I like having them in some places as an option, but they're complicated for people who aren't programmers, and I don't want to use the combined matcher for footprint filters because I'd like to reduce false positives here (as a long match list is unwieldy). > > Simon > _______________________________________________ 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
