Bug Description
I find it confusing that after creating a new footprint and saving it to a new library, I still cannot use the footprint because the library is not in the project configuration.
I think this could be done automatically, and it might make sense to have this in the release.

I'm not thrilled with that idea because I often work on footprint
libraries that are not part of a project. I wouldn't be opposed to
asking the user if they want to add the library to the current project.
Of course you could make the same argument with Eeschema component
libraries as well.
