KiCad 7.0 libraries

[ckirchhefer]

Hey all,

I figured out a problem while trying to use the libraries of the current KiCad version.
First of all I have to add here that due to restrictions I'm not able / allowed to set environment variables so I add my paths within the Python script.
To do so, I .append strings to lib_search_path and footprint_search_path to set it to my local KiCad symbols / footprints folder.
First thing that came up, was a string-thing where '..\KiCad\7.0\..' was changed to '..\KiCad\x07.0\\..'. In order to fix this, I changed the string to '..\\KiCad\\7.0\\..' which seems to work as it appears correctly in the variable.
But still, SkiDL gives me some errors where it appears that the KiCad 7 library is not working for some reason. To double-check if my '\\' string solution worked, I also tried using '..\\KiCad\\6.0\\..' to check if KiCad 6 libraries are working - and they do.

So is there a major mistake from my side or any trick to use the KiCad 7 libraries?

Thanks in advance and best regards

Christoph

I have the same issue. Were you able to fix it?
