Thank you for reporting back!
> One silly question: is there, or will there be, a standard location for Kicad to find SPICE models and libraries? The demo project has the model library (and the library for the op-amp symbol) in the project directory.
There are no standard paths for any library kind and Spice libraries are
no exception. Are you asking for a dedicated environmental variable to
set the Spice model path?
Cheers,
Orson
