Libraries. Don't new projects create their own library to store it's symbols

I did not want to encourage you (too much) to start working with KiCad-nightly V5.99.
It is still a nightly, and has regular issues:

Is it a good idea to use a nightly build version?

Short answer: If you have to ask, you should probably stick to the stable release. What are nightly builds? As the name implies, nightly builds are generated every night from the current master branch of the source repository. They are meant to allow a wider audience to more easily test new features. Note: Nightlies are always structured X.99. They are not part of the current release cycle. They are always part of the development of the next release cycle. eg. 7.99 nightlies will become 8.0.…

Eeschema file format has completely changed and is incompatible with the old, so backward conversion pretty much means drawing the whole schematic again. The PCB format also changed, but is apparently still reversible by deleting some sections.

KiCad V6 is expected somewhere this year. there are lots of small bugs and such that still need a bit of fixing.

My main reason for mentioning V5.99 was that it’s “close”, and (almost) all development effort is going towards making it ready for release. There is simply no chance that V5 is going to change and writing about wishes to do so are pretty much futile. What’s left is suggesting some workarounds, or confirmation that there is no better option so you won’t have to search for it.
