A GUI way to move symbol files from within gschem and footprints
from within pcb would be a welcome feature by me and many.
It would enable project dir design method for newbies, and help
them check an qualify symbols and footprints.

It's still not hard to do with the command line and I often rename
generic borrowed symbols and footprints to match.  The matching names
signify "checked good" to me.

Depending on standard libraries just referenced by a project stops
you from having this easy indication of "checked good", since you
can't change names of standard libraries.
