Adding on Windows?

See original GitHub issue

Hi,

I am running KiCad on Windows. I’ve successfully generated a fp-lib-table file using Python with generate_table script and then moved it to C:\Users\%username%\.config\kicad directory. However, I am not seeing the footprints in CvPcb when I am loading it. Am I missing something or this is not supported?

For what it’s worth, there are several fp-lib-table files in KiCad installation directory, however I am not sure what is the right one to replace if that’s what is necessary.

Thanks!

Ok, thanks. Maybe it’s a unicode or other encoding issue, if you have installed, or could install something (git-bash or Ubuntu Sub-system for Windows), which has a file program or have some other way of finding out the encoding of the different files? If I run file on my fp-lib-table for instance it says:

$ file fp-lib-table
fp-lib-table: ASCII text

If I put a Greek character in there:

fp-lib-table: UTF-8 Unicode text

Hey @CryptonZylog I expect the issue is resolved with #9. Would be good to get confirmation though.
