New parts loaded in to the mine parts bin don't select correctly in Inspector until the bin is saved.

Current Behaviour

I created these 6 new parts (various pin versions of a top view to92 transistor) and loaded them to the mine parts bin.

In the type field in Inspector only one of the 6 parts appears. If I then exit Fritzing and say yes to save the part bin changes (but no to the save the sketch) and restart Fritzing the type selector in Inspector works as expected:

All 6 parts appear in the selector list and you can swap between them with Inspector (the swap screws up if you try and do a swap on the original load when the parts were only in the mine parts bin and not saved!) The 6 new parts are available in this forum post:

Build:

Version 0.9.9 (bCD-348-0-f0af53a9 2021-09-22) 64 [Qt 5.15.2]

Operating System: Windows 10

Steps to reproduce:

• Load the 6 parts to the mine parts bin
• move them all in to a sketch
• select one of the parts and try the type field in Inspector (only one part appears)
• save the mine parts bin and exit Fritzing
• on starting Fritzing again (with the new parts in the mine parts bin) Inspector works as expected.

Expected Behaviour

The selection should work without having to save the parts to the mine parts bin.

That is very good to know, as it can explain issues observed when creating new parts. I think it would be best if property fields work the same as soons as the part is added, without a restart or grouping parts in a bin. My guess: the restart 'fixes' it. Do you have to add the parts to a bin, or is it enough to say "yes" when Fritzing asks wether you want to keep the part (I know this is confusing, if you keep a part without adding it to a bin, it can still be accessed via the free text search)

Looks like it works without adding to the mine parts bin. Here I did the load and said yes to keep the new parts but no to save the bin or the sketch. On restarting Fritzing all 6 transistors show in the type pull down menu but not in the mine parts bin so it looks like just adding the parts is enough to correct the problem.

Then shut down and say yes to keep parts but no to save parts bin and sketch

the Inspector type field has all 6 transistors and the mine parts bin is empty.

I just found another instance of what appears to be this same bug. If you load this part in to the mine parts bin (remove the trail .zip to get the .fzpz file)

Geophone-SM-24-SEN11744.fzpz.zip

then drag the part in to breadboard

then change view to schematic

then change back to breadboard

the position of the part has changed relative to the breadboard. If the you then exit Fritzing and save the part (but the sketch and mine parts bin are not saved) then restart Fritzing and search for the part and drag it in to the sketch, the part's position remains the same in relation to the breadboard when you change views to schematic and back.
