Apologies if I'm doing something wrong, but the plugin is crashing. Here is the log file.

Thanks for the report.

This was already reported in #6. Basically this is due to the bug that was/is present in KiCad 6.0.8. You should use 6.0.9 and you need to update pcb from schematics in 6.0.9 in order to properly set the underlying data structures.

Thanks for the quick reply, and for creating such a useful plugin. I was running 6.09. I will see if the board was somehow saved in an older format. I'm also updating KiCAD to a nightly build to see if that helps. Thanks again!

The plugins don't work under nighly versions (6.99). As for the bug you are experiencing the layout file was updated sometime in the past using 6.0.8. It is not enough to use 6.0.9, you have to update the layout from schematics using 6.0.9.
