Hi Dick, Thanks so much for your conitnuing work - it doesn't go unnoticed - I'm sorry I've not had to time to say thanks more often. In this commit you fixed something that was on my list - creating a project from a template was broken in KiCad-Winbuilder. You happened to fix this in your commit, so I got to cross if off my list! Perfect, well done with all this work and seeing things like running the module editor and library editor from KiCad directly is a great example of what you've been heading towards - I had failed to see what real advantage we were going to end up with. Thanks again, take it easy! Best Regards, Brian. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~kicad-developers Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~kicad-developers More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
