Filename parsing cutting off characters

[SimonMerrett]

This seems slightly similar to #6 but I can specifically see an error in the schematic file name that the plugin is failing to find:

5340A.kicad_sch is actually Si5340A.kicad_sch.

Any idea why it is cutting off schematic name first two characters?

Thanks for reporting this.

I suspect that the issue is somewhere in line 205. sheetfile = contents[j].lstrip("(property \"Sheet file\"").split()[0].replace("\"", ""). My python string parsing skills are somewhat limited.

Can you open the schematic file that has a subsheet pointing to Si5340A.kicad_sch and look for the (sheet section which refers to Si5340A.kicad_sch and past it here.

  (sheet (at 86.36 41.91) (size 20.32 19.05) (fields_autoplaced)
    (stroke (width 0.1524) (type solid) (color 0 0 0 0))
    (fill (color 0 0 0 0.0000))
    (uuid 7cd25091-59df-478d-91a5-d499279c96e5)
    (property "Sheet name" "Clocks" (id 0) (at 86.36 41.1984 0)
      (effects (font (size 1.27 1.27)) (justify left bottom))
    )
    (property "Sheet file" "Si5340A.kicad_sch" (id 1) (at 86.36 61.5446 0)
      (effects (font (size 1.27 1.27)) (justify left top))
    )
  )

I should mention that I have since managed to get the restore layout to work. The problem I had was using a linked subordinate/hierarchical schematic sheet, rather than one with the file path inside the project folder for one of the projects only. I was effectively trying to share the schematic from the first design as well as the layout. I think the parsing error would have misnamed both instances and wouldn't have thrown an error if I had made my projects match properly. So I think it would be quite rare to find the plugin complaining about the name of the schematic sheet if the projects match properly.
