[bug] Save/Restore Layout - File Name Handling #155

Closed T0jan closed 1 year ago

T0jan commented 1 year ago

Hello,

While I tried to create restorable snippets of some of my modules I stumbled upon a bug which seems to have been introduced by a change in how KiCad handles filenames. On projects I generated with older KiCad 6 versions I still can save the layout as usual but as soon as I update the PCB from schematic, saving the layout will crash. I have a minimum example with log and error message to show whats not working:

test.zip save_restore_layout.log error_msg

Yeah, this was already reported as #154 (and to eagerly closed by original reported) by @roboteux

There was a change in KiCad 6.0.8 how the footprint properties are encoded and it is throwing of my plugin (https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/-/issues/12682)

I plan to add code to handle this. I'll notify you here.

Thanks for reporting.

Furthemore, as this is a repository for V5 version of plugins, I am going to archive this repository so it will be in read-only mode. Any new issues with V6 plugins should be raised in their corresponding repositories
