Hi Johannes, To convert a library programmatically, you have to build KiCad with python scripting enabled. Then, in kicad/scripts, you have a file called lib_convert.py which can do the conversion. I did a script, a while ago, that simply called this . It's on the developer's mailing list here<https://lists.launchpad.net/kicad-developers/msg11357.html>, but I attached it again because there were some other changes in the patch, which I just removed.
