Funny -- I was going to write the same, but I hesitated, I do not intend
to be too critical. Yes, I would also prefer to have "Autonumber text
in:"=="Current Page" as default, because so really something happens...
But that is a matter of taste.
No, the obvious problem is: I inserted a few nets, so net tool was
active. And when net-tool is active, nothing happens. For most users
that is not a problem, when we know that something should happen, we do
thinking for a few seconds... After about 10 seconds I switched to
select tool and tried again, and the renumber dialog pops up.
But for beginners it it may take longer, so the Renumber menu entry
should be grey out, or should work even when net tool is active.
PS: I just tested DJ's import function in PCB program -- really nice.
