Hi Dick,

I do not remember when and why the config file has changed, but I do not
have any issue to recreate the command line from the dialog (just tested
on Linux 14.04 and 16.04).
This is fast.

Attached the line in eeschema config file I created by the latest
Eeschema version for sample.

I am guessing the easier way to fix your issue is to delete old plugins
config lines and recreate them.
