Hello, so as mentioned in the title I'm having a problem working with the footprints of the esp32 included in the library. When choosing a board from the schematic page it doesn't show the footprint of the board in the small window, and when placing that component on the schematic and then converting that schematic into the PCB editor, it doesn't get converted at all.

The weird thing though is that if you were to import the footprint directly from the PCB Editor as a reference it works just fine even with the 3D model viewer. Another interesting thing is that this is happening only to the encapsulated boards or devboards and the single esp32 ic's (the non encapsulated ones) have their footprint working fine.

I'm a beginner in kicad so if i'm making a mistake on my part please tell me.

-The version of the library i'm using:

            Espressif KiCad Library v2.0.1

For the SoCs (chip, not the modules), you need to install the default KiCad library since we use the default ones.

A temporary bypass is putting them in local libraries
