Re: Library Editor refactor

 

Orson,

The new symbol editor is looking great!

One small issue I have found:

The window title bar reads "Symbol library editor - no library selected" no
matter which library is currently selected. I think this needs to be
updated to report the currently selected library.

Thanks,
