Footprint filter - Needs a list (not an edit box)

Asked by Stephen Bernhoeft

EESchema - "Edit component properties" | Footprint filter | Add

This should present a *list*, not just an edit field. At present one has to search for a suitable footprint in another dialogue, copy the name then re-start the component properties dialogue and paste the name string in.

Please can a list of footprints be available here - like CVPCB?

This would make adding suitable footprints much faster.

Yes that would be nice. As would a footprint editor, so one can be created
if it does not exist yet.
