Module Save name

[Jim Gray]

Current setup:
    Windows 7
    KiCad-2012-01-19-BZR3256

When saving a module to the library, it allows spaces in the name. When trying to use this module, it can't find it, because of those spaces. You also can't delete these modules from the library. The only way I've found to delete these modules is to revert back to version KiCad-2010-05-05-BZR2356. You can then delete the modules that contain spaces in the name. Then you need to reinstall your current version of Kicad.

It would be nice if Kicad would not even allow spaces in the module name because even though I know of this problem, I sometimes forget and have to do the above fix.

Kicad is a great program.
Thank you

Maybe add check to incorrect symbols of module name after Click Ok in "New Footprint" dialog

Hi

It is no longer possibly to store a component with empty name or starting with spaces

The user gets a warning and all spaces in a name are now days converted to '_'
