Parts missing in main window

[kris92]

I'm a new KiCad user (migrating from eagle). And I got a problem as I'm working on an imported project. Objects with '-' in their name are not listed in the main window list. I put logs in the python code and found that names with '-' inside are ignored when the code parse the list of objects. The immediate solution is to rename the objects.

That's because of this function

Maybe we can extend the regex to include dashes as well.

I don't see a problem in doing so.

If you want a quick fix you can try to extend the regex from

r"\w+\d+" to r"[\w\d-]+"

Let me know if that works
