Hi Orson,

I tested the new library editor on W7 32 bits.
The component tree is very useful, but I am worried by the time taken by the library editor to be
displayed.
I am guessing this time is spent to build this component tree.
About 10s on my computer, to build a tree of 1100 components and 10 libraires.
(this is not a lot, in fact the minimal number of libraries and symbols loaded for any job).

This is annoying because these 10s (only for a minimal config) are spent every time I open the
library editor (and nothing is displayed during these 10s, just Kicad freezes).

On a related topic, I saw (and used...) the "Browse Files..." button in the Schematic Library Tables
dialog.
It is *very* useful.
Could you commit this enhancement ASAP, regardless the library editor problems?
Thanks.
