No problem glad to help,
but remember that if you ever upgrade kicad, that kicad.pro
file will be replaced with a new one, so either remember to add your libs
again, or keep a copy of kicad.pro somewhere safe.

Hi Andy,
And thank you for giving a little bit of your time to me ;o)
I'm working with version 2010, and kicad.pro is located in share/template.
The trick your explained works perfectly !
I opened kicad.pro, then eeschema, there I've set the libraries and paths,
and then I've the same thing done in pcbnew... works great !
Thank you !
Phil.

under the kicad tree thee is a template directory, in there you will find
kicad.pro
Unfortunately in my sytsem I also have a kicad.pro in share/template this
may be a left-over from a previous install. So I am not 100% sure which
one you need to edit.
Open up kicad.pro just as you would with any other project, then add
whatever libs you need and resave as kicad.pro
This should then become the default settings for any new project.
The libs are cached (in the case of eeschema) into the project, and
modules are included into the PCBnew file so that the project is
independent of any external libs. This can be a bit of a life saver if
you overwrite your libs/modules with an update, which is why you should
maintain your own libs elsewhere :-)
Remember that the kicad files are simple text files, so if you open up
the .pro, .sch, .brd files you can see exactly what the settings are.

Hi,
I've been using Eagle for years, but I think Kicad is a great product, so
I'm trying to switch to it. However, I've got a question...
In Kicad, the libraries and the paths to find those libraries seem to be
linked individualy to each project.
Is there a way to define default libraries and paths, to avoid redefining
the same things over and over for each and every new project ?
Thank you for your help !
Phil.
