Bug Description

Currently there is no way to set the path to choose footprints from.
Suggested solution: xgsch2pcb should parse the *.gsch2pcb file for all options allowed by gsch2pcb. The GUI should offer a way to set these options.

A partial fix is now committed in git.

Unknown options produce warnings, but don't cause errors within the program.

Each line of your .gsch2pcb file (including comments) is saved, and re-emitted when saving. Only lines which xgsch2pcb knows how to edit are altered on save.

The GUI to set the various other options is still pending.

It seems xgsch2pcb already supports changing the element-dir.
Should we close this or wait for gui improvements supporting editing of all gsch2pcb options in the project file?

Really we need the GUI property editor. I've not done anything on xgsch2pcb for a while... but I recall having some prototypes for the GUI page.
