Ok. A doh moment. In making a V6.99 copy of my symbol libraries , I inadvertently overwrote my V6 version with V6.99
Can I manually edit the files to allow V6 to load them as it currently faults while trying to load the V6.99
I know dumb or what , but I’m hoping to avoid rebuilding them by hand as cut and paste won’t seemingly work fron v6.99 to V6
Thanks
Dave
If you want to try… Create a new symbol library and save it (just for testing). Open the file with a text editor. The first line should be something like this:
(kicad_symbol_lib (version 20201005) (generator kicad_symbol_editor)
Copy the date from it. Open the 6.99 library with the text editor. Replace the date with the older date. Now try to open the library with 6.0. With a bit of luck the file format hasn’t changed.
Great I’ll try that thanks
