| I have a lot of simulations I built under KiCad 4 that I still want to use. So I hacked together a bash script that makes it relatively easy to convert KiCad 4 simulations to something that works in KiCad 5. I'm dumping the source code here for now but will probably be moving it to Git[lab|hub] soon. | I have a lot of simulations I built under KiCad 4 that I still want to use.
