"/" and "\" messes up default schematic project template (Windows and Linux)

Schematic

Hello fellow KiCad users,

I have encountered an issue with setting up a project template for my company’s drawing box, which is always stored relative to the project file in ./DrawingBox/template.sch (for example).

The problem arises when switching between Windows and Linux; both systems complain that they cannot find the page template. If I update the directory in Linux, Windows complains, and vice versa.

Is there a way to prevent this? I’m sure there must be an easy solution. Perhaps using “//” will make Windows understand the relative directory?

Thanks,

Hi
Disclaimer I have no specific knowledge of this apecifically!

Just a thought - could you do something like mapping a path to a network drive in Linux like you can in Windows.

That could work, but I would have to map a drive for every KiCad project, which is very inconvenient and not sustainable.

Nevertheless, thanks for your proposal!
