The name
field for the libraries entries in a .kicad_dbl behaves differently than the native KiCad libraries in the Symbol Chooser. The name
for a .kicad_dbl
library is “included as a prefix in each symbol name placed from this sub-library.” By contrast, a when a native KiCad library is expanded to show each symbol, the library name is not included as a prefix.
Is there a way to only show the name at the top level of the library (before it is expanded), and not include it is an item-level prefix?

category do not appear as Audio/AD1853
, Audio/AD1855
