Hi,

Just to mention… it has been like this before the patches.
At least on macOS, there is still a “Preferences” menu entry below the “KiCad” menu bar entry (the “General Settings” dialog).
Then, there is the “Preferences” menu… without those “General Setting”.

Because there is a “Preferences” menu bar entry I didn’t look anywhere else for the general settings.
Took me quite a while to find them in the “KiCad” menu bar entry.

Any plans to change this?


Regards,
Bernhard
