Thanks a lot, found it now!
And I don’t believe it… it even seems to work without any problems (well, just created the default QFP and changed pads from oval to rectangular…).

I’ll post a patch for OS X in the next couple of days to make paths consistently pointing to *only* the one “scripting/plugins” inside the application bundle where the footprint plugins are delivered right now.


Regards,
Bernhard
