My suggestion and hope would be that Jean-Pierre fix this. This could probably be done by some temporary code that lives in there for a year or two, which simply scans the schematic component names before saving them to disk, and making sure they match the library part names or aliases exactly before saving them in the schematic files. This way loading is not broken, it can still be case insensitive for awhile, year or two. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~kicad-developers Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~kicad-developers More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
