Batch conversion of Altium SchLib and PcbLib

Schematic Library Symbols
1

Hi

I was wondering if there was a way to batch convert Altiums SchLib and PcbLib files to their Kicad equivalents.
I was thinking of some action using the CLI but I am fine with any other method as long as I need not open each file manually.
Thank you for any guidance.

Welcome,

This thread from last August explains how.

See comments by dsa-t.
The string problem is probably fixed as 8.0.5 is now in use.

@jmk Based on your response I just again checked the docs for v8 and it appears that stuff has already been implemented. I just tested it and it works like a charm. This is more than Iā€™d have expected.

Now I need to read a bit into Kicads DbLib feature and it should be possible to use our existing libs for Kicad.

Thank you
