To know in which .mod file a footprint is located, click the "View selected footprint" in the CvPcb view (4th icon from the left with KiCad version 20080825c) and select your footprint. In the window that appears, you can see in the left bottom part of the window to which .mod file the footprint belongs. 2. To know in which library a component is located, see this thread: http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/kicad-users/message/4092 With this nice utility, you can simply type in your component and it'll show you in which lib that component is located... Set the path to the KiCad library location and type in a device. Once selected, you'll see in the two right columns the highlighted library and component (the background is grey, so not very good visible, though...) Hope this helps. Best rgds, --Geert
