Hello Igor2, then in my opinion... pcb works not properbly. In the Footprint description we have a general problem. In different directories can be files with the same name. Vendor_1_Furzbacke/SMD_0603.fp Vendor_2_Arschkriescher/SDM_0603.fp The Kicad footprint definition has a "solution" to write directory:file to allow kicad to find and specify suche footprints. Kicad allow also to abbreviate such constructs to: Vendor_1:SMD_0603 Vendor_2:SDM_0603 in the manner of uniqueness. Kicad use : for abreviation in the footprint-definition. So we do not parse and differ this, then we assume, the directory name is a file-name? Its not a propper way.
