Bug Description
Currently, there is no visible feedback in the GUI if a footprint could not be found on import schematics. There is a note in the logs, though. However, missing components is vital information. More intrusive feedback seems worthwhile.
Suggestion: Adopt the technique of gschem to place an eye catching placeholder for every component that was not found. Maybe, even go for the same design. This is rather intuitive.

Sounds like a good idea, maybe even include the refdes so one can insert a footprint manually with shift-click.
