error opening pcb after hiding footprint text property

Asked by Andre Goncalves

Hello,

I'm having a consistent issue that generates an error everytime i try to open a kicad_pcb file where i have hidden (Display:invisible) a footprint text property.
the error reports: Error loading board, expecting "(" in input/source

to fix this i need to edit the kicad_pcb file and delete all "hide" messages.

is this a known issue?
would greatly appreciate any help in how to resolve this.

this is my setup:
version: 2017-01-25 revision 8f82f04-master, release build
WxWidgets 3.0.2 unicode and boost 1.61.0
platform: max os x (darwin 14.5.0 x86_64)

Thanks in advance for your time.

Best regards
Andre Goncalves

It's already been resolved since commit 35fc1f336156. It appears that you are using a nightly build so you just need to use a more recent nightly build which should resolve the issue.

Can you help with this problem?
