Since BZR4145 - pcbnew: module editor can't handle some libraries anymore

[madworm]

Since BZR4145 pcbnew's module editor can't handle my custom footprint libraries anymore - all of them. Those libs were created with various older builds. They show up in the list, but when selected, no parts show up.

Adding parts to a board from those libs is broken as well.

I've attached a stripped down library (just one footprint) that doesn't work anymore.

I must of broke it when I fixed the period (.) in file name problem. I'm on it.

It must be a filename / path issue.

I just tested a bit and discovered this:

If the library is somewhere in my home folder, and gets added to the library list like '/home/blahblah/.../lib.mod' it doesn't work since 4145. There are no obscure characters in the path.

However, if I copy that library to /usr/share/kicad/modules/ it works!

So the content of the lib is not the crux.

I just committed the fix in r4147. I think I tested all of the possible cases but it's possible I missed one. Please let me know if you find any problems with the fix. Thanks for the great bug report.

Looks good so far ;-)
