Didn't know about the page manager, tried it on a hierachical project I 
have with several levels of pages. Works as Niclas says above, but the 
page manager just lists one file at the startup, I have to go down to 
all subpages for it to list them. Is that what it is supposed to work, 
isn't there a "scan hierarchy" so that all pages show up in the page 
manager without me actually traversing the whole the hierarchy ?

You don't have to restart gschem for that.

In the (menu) Add -> Compoent popup, below to the left, in the 
"Filter:" line, there are two icons to the right of the entry box,
the first one with a "x" clears the entry box, but the second with a 
near full circle arrow does refresh the symbol list and the symbol
content. Soo you can add a symbol in a directory or change a present 
one, and after the refresh the new directory content or the changed 
symbol are available and listet.

How to you do that, or are you just using a "cable" top page 
referencing actual "board" subpages ?
