New library format files named weirdly #11
Comments
Hi @abauske , I understand your concern. You haven't done anything wrong. The naming of the files is due to the compatibility I wanted to ensure. In fact, it is a bug that the file "*_kicad_sym.dcm~" is not deleted in your case. But this is due to the code. I will assign the names properly when I have managed to convert the old library formats. Unfortunately this is currently not possible due to a KiCad bug. I wanted to have solved the problem a long time ago, but I haven't taken the time yet. To summarize: Everything is fine with you and I fully understand your concern. |
i am only writing this as an update and as a reminder to myself. The bug in kicad cli has now been fixed. I have already started to integrate it into the plugin. |
To be honest the best way would probably to merge old and new and rename this to Snapeda.kicad_sym. However I think there is quite a bit of risk (in merging) and confusion / setup problems for the user. |
Now the strange name is no longer necessary. I only have to merge the two old formats. |
Hi @abauske, I have decided to do the import like this. I look forward to your comments.
For Samacsys.lib
For Samacsys_kicad_sym.kicad_sym |
Hi @abauske, |
Hi Steffen,
thanks for the great plugin and all your work!
I was wondering whether it is intentional, that KiCad new library format is imported into library files that are called
<Source>_kicad_sym.kicad_sym
, wouldn't<Source>.kicad_sym
be enough?Moreover when importing into a blank folder (clear all previously added libraries in that folder) then I get
Samacsys.lib/dcm
files but alsoSamacsys_kicad_sym.dcm
andSamacsys_kicad_sym.dcm~
(mind the tilde) andSamacsys_kicad_sym.kicad_sym
. Also for Snapeda I am gettingSnapeda_kicad_sym.dcm
andSnapeda_kicad_sym.kicad_sym
, shouldn'tSnapeda.dcm/kicad_sym
be fine?Is this intentional? Am I missing something?
