Footprint name in Symbol not correct #16

Closed sinalco92 closed 5 months ago

sinalco92 commented 5 months ago

If I implement parts from SnapEDA, the naming of the footprint in the symbol properties is not correct. The naming locks like: "Symbol_Footprint" in the symbol properties. It should be only the footprint name, without symbol name and underscore (see picture).

Hi @sinalco92,

This is not an error, but a conscious decision on my part. I did it because I wanted the footprint and ultimately didn't care which chip was in the package. So if 10 chips have a sot package then the footprint is called sot and not with 10 different names.

But than the footprint must be linkt every time by hand. Iam use KiCad 8.0.1 and MacOS. And I installed and configured the Plugin, exactly like in your Youtube Video

OK @sinalco92 , of course that shouldn't be the case. The correct footprint is not entered in the symbol. I'm currently on the road and will have a look at what could have gone wrong at the end of next week.

Hi @sinalco92,

The error should be fixed. Fixed with commit 560b05fe3c8e86a6276d6e99aae860a08f26bba0 It would be very nice if you would test the version 2024.04.08 before I distribute it via kicad.
