FWIW, I can imagine having a use for a preview when selecting a
footprint in the attribute editor if the footprint= attribute is
selected with a file chooser widget.

So basically, when the above situation is at hand (the selection process
of a footprint with the attribute editor), one could be bothered with a
file chooser dialog to select the footprint file name (when and if a
newlib footprint file) not for the sake of loading the footprint file,
just for the sake of selecting a valid and existing *.fp filename (and
maybe its path since newlib files can be stored anywhere in the file
system nowadays, the file chooser dialog gives the path as a bonus if
you bother to ask for it).

Just another EUR 0.02

Kind regards,

Bert Timmerman.
