Bug Description

page descriptions in eagle can include newline chars (not only as html tag but a normal new line to make the html source more readable)

KiCad uses the full description as the filename. At least the new line character is not handled correctly.

@Rene, I don't have a copy of Eagle to create a test schematic with a new line in the page description. Would you please provide a simple Eagle schematic that has this issue so I can test and fix this bug?

Here you go. Eagle project is imported to kicad but when you try to save the schematic you get an error message. (See screenshot included in the archive)
