Perhaps better fill value with footprint name.

Reason: reference is usually a short word (like Uxxx).
Value and footprint name are usually a more long name (like 330K-1% or
BGA_0.5_128x128).
So, the default values (which will be replaced by they actual values)
are more representative of these actual texts.

Also, avoid too long names for fp names and 3d shape names. They always
create issues.

Just my 2 cents, or, if you prefer, my 2€ (looks like the same, now).

Perhaps the folder could be named the same as the footprint library
without the ".pretty" but with something like *.3dshapes or _3dshapes*

This is more easy to filter and list with fp lib wizard.

Wayne, what is your opinion?

Carl and all contributors to the Kicad Libraries: Thanks!
I know this is a hard work, with very few reward from users.
