Use gattrib. That's what it's for.

One Gripe... gattib: You can't use it like you expect from a spreadsheet. ie. <tab> to move horizontally, <enter> to move vertically. with <shift> where appropriate. When you move cells, it steals focus and sets your X paste buffer to whatever is in the cell, so you can't middle-click to paste something you just highlighted from another window. I use that to quickly copy footprint names.

Perhaps a web-based list is in order.  a wiki perhaps.

Ales pointed out to me that these all ought to get filed under the
SourceForge request tracker, or they will get forgotten very quickly:

http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?atid=818429&group_id=161080&func=browse

A personal request.. if people take time to open a SourceForge account,
rather than logging these anonymously, it is better if anyone wants to
ask followup questions.

I agree on all accounts. I know I've closed a few bug reports where I couldn't reproduce it and had no way to contact the original submitter.


Not that we're exactly overrun by such requests, but when a motivated person wants to find out how they can contribute, a good answer is always "help fix bugs and implement feature requests from the tracker".
