Version (5.1.0)-1 issues

folks: I had the 5.0 version working fine. Editing symbols & adding a symbol in the library was the only problem I could never resolve.
Installed version (5.1.0)-1
Some problems cropped up. Although symbol manipulation is excitingly simple & direct. Many other features seem different but easy to follow. Wanted to increase donation but now company folks won’t handle CH!
Will find a way out though soon…
Meanwhile some problems

  • layout from “pro” files will always hang up my laptop which never happened until this version.
    But if I launch it separately, no problems.
  • I had the BOM working fine in csv before. Now I chose a script file with .py extension from KiCAD installation bin folder. I get a “success” note in the dialog box when I run “BOM” from icon in eschema ; but there is no .csv file visible anywhere!

Would appreciate any help in addressing these.
thnx
