Good morning,
after a long period of time i found time again for contributing to KiCAD.
And i have a question regarding the naming of symbols.
For example there is a microcontroller called ‘PIC10(L)F320-I/MC’.
But the referring to the KLC, the slash in the name is a rule violation…
Should the name of the symbol be changed?
best regards,
Fabian
From the library FAQ:
I’ve found an error in a symbol/footprint/model - what now?
TlDr: create either an issue or even better a pull request over on github.
Thanks, created an issue on GitHub.
Just for reference https://github.com/KiCad/kicad-library/issues/1799 
Usually when the KLC changes, there are existing parts which fall foul of the rules, as well as further changes to rules to allow for unexpected exceptions. The rules on component names don’t matter much currently, but probably will when the new symbol file format is implemented similar to footprints (names must be a valid file name).
Unfortunately changing names causes chaos with existing designs, but I think that boat already sailed
Everything that is done after the 4.0.7 tag will be released with the v5 release only.
We plan a major overhaul of the lib organization anyways.
So i don’t see a problem here.
For the same reason that a space is prohibited, both / and \ are dangerous across the various OS
