Symbol Library Editor bug: search filter doesn't show library name if the library is empty. It should, however, so long as the library has been added to the Global or Project library manager. When creating a new symbol library it would be nice to be able to filter it by the name you just named it so you can then immediately right-click it in the search tree and go to "import symbol", for example, to immport a symbol into it for editing.

Jeff, I've got your repo on my computer (form https://code.launchpad.net/~jeyjey/kicad/+git/kicad), and did a `git pull`, but the latest commit is from 6 Jul. How do I take a look at this fix you just committed?

[Jeff Young (jeyjey)]

@Gabriel, all my stuff is now in the main git repo on the master branch. (The private branches are only for when we’re working on stuff ahead of a pending release.)

I see. I just did `git clone https://git.launchpad.net/kicad` (per here: https://code.launchpad.net/kicad). I'll search for your commit that implemented this fix.

[Gabriel Staples (ercaguy)]

I think I found it. `git log | grep -B 30 -A 30 -i 1783251 --color=always | less -R` reveals it as commit hash 4e3c84e733f93a251c7a3b2cd85011557b4d9d4e.

[Jeff Young (jeyjey)]

Yep, that's the one. Not sure why the Kicad-janitor didn't insert a link to it in this bug, although it sometimes falls asleep....
