syncronization problem then for example a Refdes or footprint could be changed

either from gschem or pcb. One possibility to adress this is for pcb to request

gschem to make the change as I suggested before with a function like call.

If files are used and changes are going both directions I could not figure out how to solve.

It's OK to have -backann and -forwann files,  each one being one-way.
