Dick,
I was able to compile also the GIT plugin.
Now i’ve a couple of problems to show you 

* i’ve a clean machine so i have the problem to populate the Library table with my old legacy modules, could you implement an automatic “insert” of rows when it is empty using the Library Paths or add a button that makes this job ?

We talked about this at length and decided against putting this code in there.  It has been done as a bash script to create templates/fp-lib-table.for-legacy.  

You can edit that with a text editor and copy and paste it into one of your tables and save.   See kicad-install.sh.

Paste works from a spreadsheet also.
Copy to spreadsheet also works.

Having one time use code in the package was not attractive.  Something was supposed to be done in python but never was.

In practice since you can copy a single column, multiple rows at a time from a file manager, its easy to create these tables in seconds.






* Pressing the Options with a clean grid i result to a crash


I will fix soon.
