Bug Description
Hello,
After draw the schematic in EeSchema, Assign Footprints... very well.
Close the schematic and opened again trying to change the Assign Footprints but surprise. It can't be done.
Apparently when I try to open the existing schematic, the Footprint libraries doesn't reload.
If click on any parts from the right panel (Filtered Footprints) using not filter on Assign Footprints I got the following error message under Footprint Viewer:
Warning fp-lib-tabe files contain no library with nickname "the name of that component"
There is no way to get rid of this error and cannot change the footprint assignment!
This is a major bug because if one assign a wrong format for a component and try to correct it, cannot be done at all!
Please help.
Thank you.
BR,
Cristian

CvPcb (assign footprints tool) is not the only option to assign footprints meaning there are other options that you can use as a workaround. I documented all of them in: https:/ /forum. kicad.info/ t/how-can- i-assign- a-footprint- to-a-symbol/ 8901
---
Regarding your report: what is the exact current footprint assigned (the value of the footprint field of the symbol in question)
A screenshot of cvpcb with the symbol in question highlighted might also help.
