Re: [PATCH] eeschema: add Select button for footprints in single component field edits

 

I've already applied the patch to my branch and did some testing.  It
works as advertized but I just want to make sure we are for the most
part on board with the changes.  I'll wait a while to make sure there
are no strong objections before I commit the changes.  Thanks for the
feedback.

Cheers,

Wayne
