Comment 1 for bug 1795961

Hi Seth,

Some good ideas.

For the title, I’d be inclined to always start with “Footprint Editor”, and when it’s a board item just show “<boardname>:<refdes>”. (If they want to know the library reference they can look in the status bar.)

I like having the library tree there, even when editing a board footprint. I agree that it can be confusing, but I also hate when stuff comes and goes. (Another idea would be to have a “Board” library in the library tree, with a list of refdes's under it. But in some ways this might be more confusing.)

We used to be very specific about Save actions (showing the type of object, etc.), but have recently tried to be more generic to better fit platform guidelines. Sometimes being more specific just makes things more complicated.

Cheers,
Jeff.
