This is going to sound like a rant, because it is.
Don't stop reading because you think you know what I'm going to say, please.
Long on the list, devs have been asking for cmp files to go away, and
cvpcb to become less prominent as a method for assigning footprints to
components. I am totally f

I wish I had a video of me just now trying to make, save, and use a new

remarkably unintuitive; making a footprint is EASY, saving it is HARD.

In fact cmp files are no longer here. I party-ed rea

I already discussed previously about that on the list. IIRC there was
something about accessing t

Where is the unintuitive part? Select library, save footprint; end of
the story. Slightly more complex if you use the master board repository
approach (see manual for that).

Well you are not supposed to select each footprint from eeschema field
dialog; that's for minor modification (like for the d'oh, that resistor
needs to be bigger if I don't want a flaming ball of fire situations...)
The cvpcb panel is still the main association tool IIRC.
