Nightly build and Github Footprints

[NorthernMonkey]

I have a problem with the Github footprint libraries when using the nightly build (5.99) on Ubuntu 20.04. This is also the same when I build it from the source files.

If I add one of my own local libraries, I can see the footprint. Click on any of the Github linked parts and I don’t see any footprints.

Any ideas?

Opinions on removing GitHub plugin

We are currently discussing the removal of the GitHub plugin from KiCad library management. Didn’t know that KiCad had a GitHub plugin? Then this will not affect you at all. We’re looking for users that actively use the GitHub plugin for their professional work and would be affected by its removal. If this is you, please reply here with how you are using the plugin and we’ll see what we can do to support your use case going forward.
