KiCad Symbol Table "show" property not saved
Description
De-selecting the "show" checkbox for libraries in the Symbol Library Table does not save. The (hidden) property is never written to the sym-table-lib preferences file. A manually-added (hidden) does successfully hide the library in the component selector, but is removed upon re-opening the symbol table editor in the GUI.
Steps to reproduce
This issue is present with no project laoded.
- Open KiCad
- Open the symbol table editor: Kicad > Preferences > Manage Symbol Libraries...
- De-selct the "show" checkbox for any library.
- Close the symbol table editor.
- Re-open the symbol table editor, the checkbox is now checked.
