Preferences - Configure Paths settings not saved when made in a secondary session (lp:#1824973)
Original report created by KiCad bug report (kicad-bug-report)
When having two KiCad sessions open at the same time, and changes are made
to the "Preferences - Configure Paths" (tested with footprints path), in
the second session, they mess up library access after having closed and re-
opened the applications. When using the first session afterwards for
example, the libraries still show up in the "footprint editor" (I guess
it's just populating the list from the fp-lib-table), however, there are no
more footprints inside the libraries.
Is KiCad written in a way that it can have sessions running in parallel on
the same computer, or do we have to limit its usage to only one pcb-project
at a time ?
