Custom footprint lib name not reflected in symbol property

ReinBentdal opened this issue · comments

Describe the bug
I am using a custom footprint library, lets call it Custom. I would expect the Footprint property of the symbol to reflect this change. For example Footprint: Custom:. But instead its still footprint:.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Run script with custom footprint lib name
  2. Open downloaded symbol and see the Footprint field within its properties
  3. Its in the format footprint:<footprint_name> instead of custom_footprint_lib:<footprint_name>

Expected behavior
I would expect it to set footprint library correctly.

Screenshots
What I get:

Expected, with library _jlcpcb

Additional context
This might not technically be a bug since the footprint library name is again chosen within KiCad. But it makes more sense to me to default to the name given to the library when running the script

sorry for my confusion. Mixed up schematic lib name and footprint name
