May be better to move "help" to the "docs/help". This is just for easier packaging of releases. To many people want to save traffic and do not want to download huge KiCad portion with docs. Another reason is - docs do not so frequently changed as programs.
This may be a good compromise. My concern is that help files should keep their own directory, someplace.
A2. "library" ---> "library/symbols" . A3. "modules/packages3d " ---> "library/3d- shapes". A3. "modules" ---> "library/footprints ".I am afraid this could creates some troubles with old kicad users. In particular, when updating and old kicad tree which have footprints in kicad/modules, if a new library/footprints is created, where pcbnew or cvpcb must look for footprints ? (assuming the old user does not delete one directory.) And how an user knows the directory beeing really used ?Please explain to me: How the programs search for librarys? Is there a possibility to write in a project the list of used librarys names separately from library search paths? I prefer to store my own librarys not in KiCad library folder (for example in a shared folder on windows server).
Maybe a couple of scripts can be written to move stuff around for the users who need to migrate to this newer directory structure: a *.bat file for windows and a shell script for everything else. Once the standard library files are "where they belong", doesn't the problem go away?
Jean-Pierre, would this address your concern? Dick
