Andy, thank you so much for this. I normally run through the releases
but I am quite behind on some work and you definitely prevented the
macOS release from holding everything up :)
I'll trigger builds tonight--there already is a deep queue for
nightlies, and in the morning I'll upload them to downloads and let
Wayne know so we can announce. Thanks everyone!
One more "bug," not sure if it's a bug or by design.
I use both Windows and macOS, and I set up Kicad 5.1.4 on a Windows
machine. I wanted to copy my symbol table from the Mac to the PC, and I
saw that for whatever reason my symbol table file didn't use
$KICAD_SYMBOL_DIR, and instead it hardcoded the path to
/Users/andy/Library/Application Support/kicad/library -- and that won't
work on Windows. So I changed the entries to use the $KICAD_SYMBOL_DIR,
and then I noticed that the environment variable on the Mac pointed to
/Users/andy/Library/Application Support/kicad/library
I changed it (again, on the Mac) to the usual ~/Library/Application
Support/kicad/library and Kicad didn't like that. I got a (broken)
message box saying,
So the home-directory shortcut doesn't work. I honestly don't remember
if it ever worked, or was meant to work.
