Error, mis-combining components #187

The following two items from the schematic are 30k resistots, but the first is 0.1%, 1/5W, the second is 1% 1/4W.

KiBoM combines them into one spreadsheet row, and puts both partnumbers in the digikey column.

Please advise.

Ok, so I found the bom.ini and added a field "Description".

Now, the issue is a default location for the bom.ini, perhaps .bom.ini in the login directory

SchrodingersGat commented 11 months ago

Yep that a .ini configuration option

Now, the issue is a default location for the bom.ini, perhaps .bom.ini in the login directory

? A default .ini file should be created already?

drmcnelson commented 11 months ago

I found the default .ini in the project directory. That is not so convenient. I think what you want is the following

if --cfg specified use it, else if in project directory use it, else if .kibom.ini in login directory or under .config/kibom/kibom.ini
use it else create it in local project directory and use it

BTW, the program works well. Very helpful.
