[sdiy] KiCad

[Oscar Salas]

Yes I do agree, the hot keys do Kicad useful. Is the only way to work with
it. And you can do it fast.

However, I'm having a little trouble with the files. Kicad creates a lot
of files for each project. I have a folder for each project. When i finish
a project and I want to remove the older files in order to have only the
useful files in each folder, sometimes it affect to the newest files
losing the data. For example I I can lose the data in the cvpcb file and
must do it again.

How do you organize your files?
