Error loading the PCB into KiCad about pcb_holder_ruler

Hmm, this is probably because these were made using v6.99 aka. nightly.
What you could try is to open the PCB file in a text editor and change the date in the first line by hand, you can see it here: https://github.com/solderparty/pcb_holder_ruler/blob/main/jig_25mm_1.6mm.kicad_pcb#L1 and then try to open it again in v6.0.1

Thanks for the reply Arturo! I replaced the version/date as you suggested into 20211014, which I just copied from a 6.0.1 PCB file, but I now get the next error, which seems to point to a different file format that the nightly uses:

As I don't see any nightly built for Linux, I'll have to wait for an official update before trying again to open these PCB files. You might consider adding an information, which version is needed to open the files in the README, though.

I will do that, thank you, and sorry for the problems.

No worries! I'm learning and the best way for me is, to stumble over such issues.
