KiCad Libraries Plugin Issues

Hello all,

I’m a new user and I’m not sure if this is the best place to post this but I thought I would give it a shot!

I’m trying to use the SamacSys library plug in tool to allow me to add in component’s part and footprint from a suppliers website. I’ve downloaded and ran the executor but there is an issue with the shortcut that’ll allow me to open the component search engine. I’ve attached a youtube video from SamacSys themselves which details how to set up the installer.

At 0:55 in the video the setup is finished and a shortcut is created. My problem is that the shortcut doesn’t exist and I don’t have the correct symbol. Instead my “shortcut” symbol is just a blank sheet.

Does anyone have any ideas?

Here’s the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1dq9wgWZfjg

You might get better assistance asking SamacSys. I watched the video and the only KiCad related actions for setup involve adding the SamacSys items to the library tables. The installer seems to install in parallel to KiCad.
