Is there a way to convert old .mod footprints to .kicad_mod automatically, either through scripting or some external software/library?
currently my workflow is:
open footprint editor
preferences->manage libraries->add mod
open footprint from mod, resave as kicad_mod
remove mod from libraries
obviously this is pretty tiresome, any other suggestions to streamline it?
I would like to know if there is other faster way too…
Couldn’t find anything, so I wrote it myself:
usage: python convert_mod.py old.mod new.pretty
