With the below detailed version of Kicad I was attempting to convert a personal library part to the new format. My plan was to create a new personal library and save to that.
However when I try to add a Symbol library the program presents me with a OPEN dialog not a new dialog. The result is I cannot create a new library.
I just used: Symbol Editor / File / New Library …
to make a new library, and then copied a schematic symbol from another library into it in KiCad V5.99.
It al works without troubles.
I’m not sure what your mention of github is in relation to this post.
The github plugin is apparently disabled, and probably sceduled to be removed completely at some time in the future, unless enough people complain and want it back. For more info read:
I’ll chalk this one up to operator error. I would have sworn I had tried the “New Library” first, however I guess I either didn’t or had some other error.
