Reload of Footprint Libraries without Restarting Footprint Editor

Hey, I’m working on a project with a lot of custom footprints made through the bitmap to footprint converter and also through the wayneandlayne ImgToMod utility. For speed I general save these files directly to the library I’m using for my project.

If I already have the footprint editor open, I have to close it and reopen it to trigger a read of all the available footprints. Otherwise the footprint editor just shows the footprints that were present when it was opened.

I’m wondering if theres a command I can use to trigger a rescan of the available footprint libraries without restarting the editor. If not I’d def like to put this in as a feature request. Would save me a lot of time.
