Use "Symbol Chooser" in "Edit Symbol Library References" dialog instead of "Symbol Library Browser" (lp:#1747599)
Original report created by Antonio Vázquez Blanco (antoniovazquezblanco)
I have been working in KiCad v4 with the new library repos for a while. I
decided to test the nighlies and found that schematic conversion does not
really work very well.
After some work remapping components one by one someone told me that there
is a hidden functionality in the 'Edit -> Edit Symbol Library Link' menu.
It is nice as a backup when remap does not work properly but it is not very
easy to find.
I am sugesting to put a button in the recovery dialogs when you open an old
project that links to that functionality or at least mention it in the
recovery dialog messages.
Another thing is that the use of that functionality is not very intuitive.
In order to select a new symbol you have to right click. One may expect a
context menu with that action. I sugest a left click or a double left click
to select a new component.
