And what is the cv in cvpcb?

bitmap2component seems also quite limited in case we are going to support svg import...
in, sure, an "Import..." menu option.

If we want project branded names (which are not my primary choices) it might help to get better results by using more selective keywords in online search engines:

KiSchematic
KiLayout
KiLibrary
KiEdit
KiTool
KiSimulator
KiCalculator
KiWhatever

Ki in german is used for "Künstliche Intelligenz" (artificial intelligence)... but i've heard KiCad was mocked as KinderCad as well.

Clemens
