Hi Wayne,

The tree view is exactly the same widget as the one used in the 
schematic symbol placer and is supposed to display all libraries. It 
works fine under Linux, but I have just discovered that under Windows it 
displays nothing, so there is still work to do.

The true joy of multiplatform programming with universal libraries. As 
certain programming language advertises: "write once, fix everywhere" or 
something similar..

Cheers,
Orson
