RE: gEDA: diode-1.sym



Hi Ales and all,

Solution #5 could be to put a corrected symbol diode-1.sym in a directory
named pcb and give this directory a higher priority in the search order in
the rc files.

In this way the corrected diode-1.sym file would be found first and loaded
before the *wrong* file.

Just my EUR 0.01

Kind regards,

Bert Timmerman.
