External Plugins

Hi there,

I am using KiCad 8.0.6 but receive the classic “backend error” each time I open the PCB editor

In the PCM, KiKit is up-to-date, as far as I can tell…

I tried to uninstall/reinstall KiKit, but with no change

What should I try ?

Thanks for your help

Everything looks fine.
Did you restart kicad? Fully, not just the pcb editor.
