I respectfully disagree. As I recall from many years of using KiCad before this, nothing about the cache has ever spontaneously deleted all libraries without warning. That's a whole new level of insanity that deserves its own "what not to do" section in a UX book somewhere. (And before you think this is all just "this UX guide sez" vague complaining, don't forget that I and many others still have _no idea wtf we're doing_ trying to drive this thing.) > The only way I can > think of this happening is that the schematic was not saved after the > remapping and once all of the libraries are removed from the project > file but cache should still be valid if no save was performed.
