I too.
It is worth the effort.
I create/modify the footprints as i need them in a design.

I still don't use/understand the technology files.
I think i really should read the help.
Most time i do hand routing (and always hand placing).
I check my designs myself for errors (drc disabled most time).
Maybe for preofessional pcbs it it more important...

Move to quarantaine

This moves the raw source file on disk only. The archive index is not changed automatically, so you still need to run a manual refresh afterward.
