More fully specified symbol library discussion

I use CS and I call specific part numbers as symbols so that from my schematic with no extra work my BOM comes out correct with footprint assigned. Contrary to what Wayne states this does not require duplication of footprints with massive overheads. I have no more footprints than KiCad. So for example i have a symbol for ever value, tolerance and footprint of resistor, each symbol points to it’s footprint in a footprint library and only has one instance. There are no libraries that incorporate the symbol, footprint and model into one item duplicating like items. If Wayne is now going to be so important in this project i suggest he opens his eyes a little bit and avoid styfling the development and usefulness of KiCad.

This is probably the same thing I’ve mentioned in my post, which I called myself a “Superlibrary”:
