Maybe... remotely. KISYS3DMOD's default path, as well as it's handling, seems to be off a bit. My question is: Is Kicad supposed to work with ~/... in general or - for some very good reason - needs the expanded (absolute) /home/<username>/... ? If ~/... is an acceptable pathname, then there is a bug to hunt in the latest git. In other words: Where is the code where file + pathnames are abstracted to make it work across all platforms in this case? kicad.git/common/env_paths.cpp ? Regards, Clemens > >> On 9.
