Yeah, I get that. I can even get it to appear in the library list {w,l},
but selecting it doesn't import it. Is it possible to import it direct from
{w,l} without having to Import Subcircuit manually? I automate loading of
subcircuits, and would love it if I could just drop in a kicad one into my
library rather than load it then export it. Just me being lazy really.
Or is there some way I could script it so that I can automate the
conversion?
