[Russell Oliver <roliver8143@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

Jean-Pierre: can you send me a link to the files you tested it on?

Also for opening either an Eagle schematic or board file, the intended
workflow starts within the KiCad launcher. File > Import Project > Eagle
Cad. This launches both Eeschema, Pcbnew for the matching files and then
synchronises the timestamps across the files.

Regards
Russell
