Comment 7 for bug 1545668

Hi Jean-Pierre,

Thanks very much for this. With 4.0.1 on Win7 64 bit, changing the filename extension to ".pcb" enabled me to read the files. I perceive some problems with results, which are not part of this bug, but which I mention as guidance for people using this workaround: reference and value fields are set to invisible; mirrored and/or rotated text is placed incorrectly.

The nightly (kicad-product-r6566.c2fd462-x86_64.exe - currently the latest) seems to produce the same results. I am not sure which files you changed to fix the Windows case sensitivity. I guess that nightlies which include this fix will also produce the same results when the file name extension is ".PCB".
