Bug Description
Steps to reproduce :
- Create empty new project
- Open EEschema
- Optionnally place some components and associate their footprints with cvpcb
- Generate the netlist
- Make sure no .cmp file has been created at this point. I understand they are an alternative way to associate footprints and symbols.
- Open pcbnew
- Open its netlist window
- Click on "Read current netlist"
What happens :
- Reading the netlist fails, because a ".cmp" file cannot be read. The following message is displayed :
Erreurr lors du chargement de la netliste.
IO_ERROR: Ne peut pas ouvrir le fichier '/home/
from /build/
What should happen :
- This file should be skipped if it does not exist.
Workaround :
- Create an empty file at this location. Everything works fine after running "touch /home/user/
