Question about .mod and .pretty files

It’s easy with KiCad 4.0.x. Add your .mod library to the current Fooprint table as Legacy library. Open Footprint Editor and do any unsignificant edit and save library. Footprint editor automatically ask to convert old Legacy library to the new Pretty format. Then remove .mod file from Library table and add this new Pretty library istead.
That’s all.
