Using the csv export program you get columns exported by name rather
than number, and it does not matter what order they are in. Also you
are limited to 8 different fields **per item**, you can use as many
different names as you like.....there is a fuller explanation in the
program file.

Yes. The limitations on attributes is well noted in this group.
Generally speaking I think we came to the conclusion that the best
option would be an unlimited grid list for name/attribute pairs. But
we are not developers ;-) I wrote the export program as a stopgap, I
have no doubt something will be integrated in time (maybe I would do
it if I understood how to compile KiCAD ;-)

Personaly, if I ever got involved in KiCAD development, I would scrap
the files and store projects in an SQLite file...so much easier to
make global changes and get any kind of report. In the meantime
however, I am (very) thankfull for what (others) have allready done :-)

I think you should definitly have a look at the CSV exporter ;-)
