Hi,

Something is eluding me about the pin-count filter and KiCAD module 
libraries.  All of the normal on-disk libraries (folders named .pretty) 
function as expected with the pin-count filter.  However, my custom 
ODBC-based library does not (engaging the filter filters out all 
footprints).

I'm having trouble figuring out what the difference is.  The only 
difference between my ODBC library and an on-disk library is where the 
s-expr data lives; the former has it in a RDBMS, while the latter has it 
in a disk file.  The exact same deserialization code inside KiCAD is 
invoked in both cases.

Obviously I'm missing something.  If anyone is feeling generous with 
their time, my fork is at https://gitlab.com/Lotharyx/kicad and the main 
relevant file is /kicad/pcbnew/myodbc/myodbc_plugin.cpp, lines 106-141.

Thanks!
