Public bug reported:
Hi Kicad Tteam,
The last several Kicad Nightly releases I am having issues with loading
the symbol library. The installer will create the symbol libraries that
have ".kicad_sym" as part of the symbol file name but when kicad is
asked to load/read the symbols libraries it is looking for symbol file
names that have ".lib" in the name and thus produces an error for files
missing. See attached screen files showing error.
Example:
Library Symbol file names created by Kicad have "kicad_sym" extensions in the
name.
C:\Program Files\KiCad\share\kicad\library\74xGxx.kicad_sym
C:\Program Files\KiCad\share\kicad\library\4xxx_IEEE.kicad_sym
To load the symbol library recent Kicad nightly releases is looking for file
names to have the ".lib" extension in the name and fails since these symbol
names files do not exist.
C:\Program Files\KiCad\share\kicad\library\74xGxx.lib
C:\Program Files\KiCad\share\kicad\library\4xxx_IEEE.lib
