I'm not sure, please post the error messages from the log window or
console.

I only tested it on 1.4.0, which I strongly recommend to anyone using
older versions, especially anyone pre 1.2.0.

Symptoms of it working.. when using "ec", the copied items have their
refdes stripped of any numeric suffix. If a "?" remains at the end of
the refdes, it is left, otherwise one is added.

What version of gschem do you have?
