Plugin development foe v6.x


 

Hi, I am trying to modify a v5 plug-in to run under v6 but while it installs OK its icon doesn't appear in the tools menu.

I have noticed the same symptom with other plug-ins if KiKit is not installed.

I have previously done this with the "Show/Hide References" plug in and it does appear on the tools menu but with an ICON that is different to the one I provide in the zip file.

Is there a dependency between plug-ins and KiKit ???

Is there something that needs configuring in KiKit or KiCad to support a new plug-in (other than the directory structure/layout and the json file - both of which I respect).

Regards,
Dave
