Footprint Editor: Show area of selected pads in status bar
Description
- For calculating paste coverage, knowing the area (in mm²) of pads would be helpful
- Currently, when selecting multiple pads, the status bar shows the number of selected items
- It would be nice if if shows the common properties (all are pads, all are on the same layer)
- Additional, the area should be calculated and shown (Area: 4.2mm²)
