Hi,

looks like a forward slash character in nick names in the fp-lib-table is
not supported any more (it can be read but it cannot be saved).

This breaks compatibility with older fp-lib-tables somewhat. I have been
using slashes in names to namespace fp-lib-tables created for my footprint
collection <https://github.com/monostable/kicad_footprints>.

Is there a good reason for not allowing slashes in names?

Cheers,

Kaspar
