BOM file for each hierarchical sheet

Is it any automation way to create separate bill for each of hierarchical sheet in current version( 4.0.7).
Before, in old stable version I didit like this:

1 Open eeschema, one of the hierarchical sheets, and save it in different folder then project is, use Save Current Sheet As. It will save current sheet with current annotation.
2 Repeat item 1 for all sheets in project.
3 Open each sheet.sch in Kicad and use BOM button
4 In windowof generation bill choose some options and formats ( as usually I need sorts the parts by value and component reference and save it as two types of bills of materials )
5 Then repeat item 5 for each sheet.

In 4.0.7 plugin for generation bill of materials little bit change, there is no too much options now. I need to get true CSV if possible after the fashion of the older versions. That allowed the choice of grouping by common attributes or by individual components

Just a heads up, 4.0.7 is now the old stable :wink:
Kicad 5.0.0 has just been released.


All BOM plugins take the xml file generated by kicad and filter out the information as they need it.
The xml file includes the sheet path for every symbol.
This means it should be possible to write a plugin that includes the sheet path as another column in the csv file. (simplest solution) or even filter by that path (would require another entry in the command line part for the plugin)

I am not aware of any existing plugin that does this.
