Today I got the same error (I think). I have one project file and two board files (pcbnew files). In the project file there is only one library linked (if I open it with notepad). When I open the project file and open up pcbnew I get one of the board files (always the same) and this has this single library pre choosen. But if I double click (in kicad) on the secound board file, pcbnew opens with the libraries from my template project file, and it doesn't even include the library in my own project file.
Does this make any sense? Can anyone else duplicate this? Do I have to use one project file for every board file? I use 20090216-final. Thanks for all the great effort put into this application!
