Personally I would prefer storage in a database of some form to avoid mess
of complicated directory structure. I am sure that would be subject of
criticism.

Management tool shall allow export/import parts in format close to currentl=
y
known. Such database would be helpful if KiCad start synchronizing parts
with parts repositories on the web. We have open way to create an open well
defined standard for storing schematic symbols and parts cases data, which
may allow others to import to their software if they want.

Thank you for cleaning up my wiki page. I&#39;m quite new to wiki and will =
update it soon.<br>
<br>
It seems that there has been a lot of on going in this matter. The first pr=
iority to me now is, how library/module directory are organized. Is there a=
ny conclusion on how the directories are organized? Will we still use the o=
ld style (Many components per file)? According to khiraly proposal, I think=
the one component per file style has more advantages, especially for an op=
en source project where the developers live in different places. By using d=
irectory structure, the components can be categorized in the tree-style man=
ner. Below is my proposed structure:<br>

<br>
library<br>
|<br>
|- category1 (transistor, opamp, etc.)<br>
| |- manufacturer1<br>
| | |- component1<br>
| | |- component2<br>
