Guillaume,

One minor comment on this patch.  Automatic member variables should start with
a lower case letter to indicate that the variable is local in nature.
Therefore this line in your patch:

+        wxString FootprintName;

should look like:

+        wxString footprintName;

I know that there is lots of legacy code in KiCad that violates this rule but
we are working on that.  It makes the task much easier to accomplish if we
don't have to correct new code.

Thanks,

Wayne
