Add "Add Package Variant" button to Library Edtor window, please?

[Anonymous]

The main window only has "new" button for adding packages, which tells me that I can't use that...

So I use HELP to find out that somewhere in the Control Panel window, there is such an option. After a while searching I can find it.

Then a little chaos on how to use it or what it does.

And after some time I have a part with 2 package variants.

And after another minute I have the library updated in the project! Woo-hoo!

But, could you make it easier, so that less intelligent people will know how to add packages?

Actually, I believe that 92% of thebugs andprogram crashes are caused by the QT thread the Eagle runs.

QtWebEngineProcess --type=renderer --disable-accelerated-video-decode --enable-threaded-compositing --no-sandbox --use-gl=desktop --disable-webrtc-hw-encoding --disable-databases --lang=en --enable-delegated-renderer --num-raster-threads=2 --gpu-rasterization-msaa-sample-count=8 --content-image-texture-target=3553 --video-image-texture-target=3553 --disable-gpu-compositing --channel=....etc.

See any problems? Eagle doesn't handle the keyboard OR mouse, or anything vital regarding the UI, it all is handled by QtWebEngineProcess from the way I see it.

As an Eagle newbie, I also struggled with this quite some time before finding this thread. It's clear now that I've done it once, but it is far from intuitive. I'll repeat what has already been said here, just if someone else struggles with it and land here:

- When editing the Device, select New on the right where the packages are.

- Select Add local package

- Click on the existing package that you want to add

- And now comes the difficult part 😉 : In the Variant name box, enter the same name as the existing package.

- Click OK and be happy 🙂

(Yeah, I didn't read the manual, but I'd say this is poor UI design. Something this simple can easily be done intuitive with simple UI design.)
