Could you provide more information of the steps you did?

gert-lauritsen commented 2 years ago

I installed it, an it start fine, then I set path for my components and so on, but when I try to run build/import nothing comes in. What I think is that since the new library has the .kicad_sym, that it may not import it. I get an empty database, and that is it.

There is no build/import command. Do you mean build? Or do you mean import custom fields?

There is no database. What is empty? The output library?

I have path setting like this: C:\kicad\ c:\Program Files\KiCad\6.0\share\kicad\symbols\ c:\Program Files\KiCad\6.0\share\kicad\footprints\ C:\kicad\library

and when I press import there is a short message that it can't acess c:\user and the rest can't be seen. But it just dosn't import anything.

It seems that the application is not able to create the directory for the settings to be saved.
The settings are stored at C:\<user>\AppData\Roaming\kicad-db-lib\settings.json.
Could you try running the application as administrator or create the directory by yourself?

gert-lauritsen commented 2 years ago

Doesn't make any different

just-seba commented 2 years ago

I can't reproduce the bug.
Which version do you use?
Could you please send me the content of the settings.json file mentioned earlier. Could by any chance make a short video of what you did and post it here?

The application is only compatible with KiCad libraries.
