Feature request: Button to perform a "Kicad Library Convention check"

Community

Hi,

I think it would be very helpful to have a KLC-.Check on a Button while editing symbols or footprints.
The automatic check scripts in python are very usefull, but hard to find not easy to use for all KiCad users.
What do you think?

so hard that I didn’t even known they exist! :scream:
would you mind to show me where they are?
thank you

They are in an own Github repository: https://github.com/KiCad/kicad-library-utils
You’ll find a hint if you follow the “contributing links” at the library repositorys.

Thanks for the link :slight_smile:
In general I think it would be nice to have a button configurable to execute python code/macro
I asked to the developers

may be it might be worth to add this request to the kicad wish list
