Can not open InvenTree.kicad_httplib in KiCad #57

Closed tnemrap closed 11 months ago

I know that this should be in KiCAD but i try here when you have done the Pull in Kicad. I can not open the created InvenTree.kicad_httplib from Kicad 7.09 Symbol Library, it is not an selectable extension.

HTTP Libraries are only supported in nightly (7.99) builds.

afkiwers commented 11 months ago

Let's hope they stick to their release schedule and release 8.0 next month.

tnemrap commented 11 months ago

Is nightly stable enough to run?

Long Answer: https://www.kicad.org/help/nightlies-and-rcs/ Short Answer: No.

I haven't had any issues with most of them. However KiCad devs won't guarantee 'data loss'; whatever that would look like.

We already use the 7.99 in production for smaller projects.

What build are you using, i will not hold you responsible. :)

Thanks

tnemrap commented 11 months ago

Worked like a charm.

That's good. You should try the new meta data upload feature. Just make sure you run the latest version of the plugin. I added a progress bar this morning.
