Hi Maurice,

It is not related to the .kicad_mod file. Failed with with many I tried.
The Macro did not load the 'name' variable from the opendialog window. It
came back empty and thus the next if statement gave false result:

  if len(name) > 0:

            txtFile = open(name,"r")

            content = txtFile.readlines()

            content.append(" ")

            last_file_path=os.path.dirname(txtFile.name)

            txtFile.close()
