Hi,

will the framework allow to generate and present previews/artwork for the
schematic symbols and footprints contained in the different libraries?

This might be useful if in the future the libraries become really big (e.g.
if there should be official atomic libraries). Think of a user that tries
to find a specific component so he only needs to pull that one library
instead of the complete libraries.


Yes indeed. In the fullness of time I envision that a preview image can be
generated for each symbol / footprint as well as listing information about
each element. Additionally, providing a search feature across these data
would be key.

A minor nitpick from personal preference: An always visible table of
contents for easy jumping between pages and/or breadcrumb navigation would
be great.


Can you provide an example of what you mean?


Regards,

Ingo
