Re: KiCad v5 MacOS Library Editor - Error Cannot Load Aliases
Hi Andrey,
you might also want to check if you previously had some environment variables set in macOS itself to use libraries from a non-standard place.
If so, remove them and configure paths only via KiCad (Preferences => Configure Paths).
Regards,
Bernhard

I only had to delete/move ~/Library/Preferences/kicad/fp-lib-table and things went back to normal. Obviously I had to read my custom libraries that I had added before but it was a quick fix to the problem. Manually editing the libraries in bulk using the library manager was less appealing. :)
