ver 5.02 using KiCad ver 4 libraries for footprints ? #77

New to KiCad and trying to learn it on Windows. But noticed that "all" footprint associations is named wrong.

Look in the default folder "C:\Program Files\KiCad\share\kicad\modules" KiCad is looking for default footprint "Resistors_ThroughHole.pretty " The file is named "Resistor_THT.pretty

So for each faulty name I have to add "s" Resistor(s), Capacitor(s) and change THT to ThroughHole And that is on the majority of the footprint libs

I'm I doing wrong ?

Remove your old config of fp-lib-tables and reinitialize.
