[leoheck]

I think I could improve a bit those big balls.

See, the latest commits mix both versions

You can generate this output with this code here

# List Kicad files for each commit
branch=main
for commit in $(git rev-list $branch)
do
	echo -e "\n$commit"
	git ls-tree --name-only -r $commit | grep ".*.pro\|*.kicad_pro\|.*.kicad_sch\|.*.sch\|.*.kicad_pcb"
done

That are a lot of crazy things happening with Kiri hehe. I have to organize it better to handle this kind of situation.

[designer2k2]

thanks for taking a look into this!
I needed to switch mid-project to Version 6 as in 5 was a Footprint error. And it seems that i should have cleaned up the project on the switch...
Why there are some empty commits in between i dont know.

Actually im impressed by how well it handles the complex Silkscreen here!

The first commits work, until i made the Version jump:

[leoheck]

Hm what do you mean by footprint error? You can easily fix this. Just import it to a custom lib (inside the project so it will be versioned too. Fix the issue in that particular footprint. Change the instance of that footprint to come from your custom lib and that's it.

[leoheck]

Ah also thank you for sharing your project. This is an interesting use case to help me find other issues with the tool.

The KPS-3227 light sensor had its pins crossed out, resulting in some creative rework needed on the first pcb batch.
Then i first went the route to fix it with a local part, but also submitted a bugfix to KiCad: https://gitlab.com/kicad/libraries/kicad-symbols/-/issues/3164
And once this bugfix went into a release (6.0.2) i switched back to the native part and deleted the local one.

You can easily fix this for your project, dont need to way for kicad team.

Now, I have something that may work better for you.
You project is nested. Try to do this to move all files to the root folder, maybe kiri is going to work better.

# Clone a copy of you repo (to start clean, and to avoid damaging something)
gh repo clone designer2k2/BerlinUhr BerlinUhr_kiri 
cd BerlinUhr_kiri

# Remove Kicad6 files and Keep only Kicad5
export FILTER_BRANCH_SQUELCH_WARNING=1
git filter-branch -f --index-filter 'git rm -rf --cached --ignore-unmatch Berlin_Uhr/Berlin_Uhr.kicad_pro Berlin_Uhr/Berlin_Uhr.kicad_sch' HEAD

# Recover missing kicad files in the last commit
git checkout 6327b0a343410cfc595bca4f07fb0005be87ce7c Berlin_Uhr/Berlin_Uhr.pro
git checkout 6327b0a343410cfc595bca4f07fb0005be87ce7c Berlin_Uhr/Berlin_Uhr.sch
git add .
git commit -m "[KiRi] Recover missing files in the last commit" .

# Move nested files to the root path
git filter-branch -f --tree-filter 'test -d Berlin_Uhr/ && mv Berlin_Uhr/* . || echo " Nothing to do"' HEAD

Now run kiri normally

[leoheck]

At least if you run with -D flag, it shows less issues

kiri Berlin_Uhr.pro -D -r

Hey, @designer2k2 I am creating a new version of Kiri, and it is working better (branch refactoring). I want to upgrade some images in the readme. Do you mind if I use your project https://github.com/designer2k2/BerlinUhr as the project to take screenshots for Kiri? Your board is awesome.

Hello, yes go ahead and use it!
