"The reason for the refactor is that too many items are too strongly
 coupled to pcbnew and it is making the code unnecessarily difficult to maintain."

Only the "3D shape file name", "3D scale and position" are related with a footprint.
And that are the only items that the pcbnew/footprint properties is managing.
That information is stored in a footprint file.

The only thing that probably it needs to know is the file extensions that are supported.
Any way, maybe it still need to accept / store all file types (because you can have or not some plugin installed at that moment in that machine)

So if it is not related with pcbnew, who will launch the selection / management of the "3D shape file name" for each footprint?
