Hi,

I've started to test these changes and, on the Symbol properties dialog, I
found it hard to assign a footprint.
Before, there used to be a button to open the Footprint selector window.
Now you seem to need right click on the footprint field and "select
footprint" and that only works if you're not editing the text of that
field. It took me a while to find out.
I don't find it straightforward.

Maybe a double-click on that field should open the Footprint selector?
Maybe a button like attached? (Mind my poor mock-up)
Any other suggestions?

Thanks for all the work on this.

Diego
