Re: Export Kicad Libraries while kicad isnt working


 

¿ªÔÆÌåÓý

If Kicad 7 works, why not just import the libraries in Kicad 7? They are just text files, like all Kicad files.

Otherwise bring your libraries to a PC not running garbage anti-virus and move the libraries or ask your IT department to build an air-gapped PC without the AV, export the libraries, and done.

Hello everyone,?

I have been using?Kicad 6 on Win10 laptop for months now and our antivirus software (Trellix Endpoint Security) at the company reported this data as a trojan?C:\Program Files\KiCad\6.0\bin\brotlicommon.dll".?Now the file has been deleted and I cant use any of Kicads subprograms/applications (schematic editor, symbol editor, pcb editor, etc.) anymore. This means that I cant manage any library. Also whenever I try to open an application Kicad presents me 3 different error messages.?

I tried copying the deleted data from a different laptop with the same kicad version, but the antivirus software immediately deletes it after copying into my laptop.

I was hoping if I could still export all of my libraries from Kicad 6 and import them into Kicad 7. Moreover Kicad 7 is working normally and our antivirus software didnt discover any malicious data.

Here are pictures regarding the error messages that I get while opening any Kicad subprogram/applications.

I appreciate any help or suggestion to fix this dilemma.

Best regards,
Lorenzo
