Re: Library Editor refactor

 

Hi Oliver,

Thank you for the report. It should be fixed already.

Regarding the window title, I consider library selected after opening a
part. Do you suggest that highlighting a library (single click) in the
component tree should make it selected? I wonder if there is any benefit
of doing so.

Cheers,
Orson
