In response to a message written on 13.10.2014 08:01, from Benoît Roehr:
For kicad, it could be a good thing to be able to embed a single footprint to a
component if the footprint is really special, but it's non sens if you can
appropriately tag the footprint and put it with the others.
There is a special field to assign footprint to schematic element…
Yes i know, I was meaning if you need a very special footprint just for one
component, you may not want to pollute your existing pcblibrary with this
footprint. For example, you have just one component packaged in a 2 rows QFN
package. You don't want this in your standard QFN lib.
So the ability to attach a single footprint directly to the component without
creating or modifying a PCBLib can be useful.
But it is new feature and it doesn't have to be implemented yet. Not important.
Footprint have to be well named, and all searchable in the same place, not
hidden. ;) More important for me would be a footprint preview in schlib editor.
