altium fp: pick a footprint by name (today it returns only the first one in the library)

Colby Knox · 23d ago

service-kicad altium fp returns only the first footprint of a multi-footprint .PcbLib.

The help says so ("multi-part returns the first footprint"), but most real Altium libraries hold many footprints (elk-audio Sika_revb.PcbLib: 106). There is no way to ask for a specific one.

Ask: a --name <footprint> to pick one, and ideally an option to return all of them (a .pretty directory as a zip). This makes service-kicad a usable second opinion next to adom-lbr's own importer; the two already agree to 0.0 mm on the pads we compared.
