multiple library files does not work?

edited August 2014 in KLayout Support
It seems like a bug. If I put 2 GDS files:
~/.klayout/libraries $ ls
1.GDS 2.GDS

In the klayout, if I try to create instance, it will only show 2.GDS.

Another question will be, how can I set different library path for each layout file?

    Hi,

    Maybe, 1.gds and 2.gds have the same library name. In that case, only one of them is shown since there can only be one library with a specific name in the system. The library name is not the file name but a property stored inside the GDS file.

    To give a file a specific library name, enter the library name in the "save layout options" under "GDS writer options".

    Regards,

    Matthias
