Library name different from kicad name

The encapsulation libraries in kicad are made up of the word Package and then the series of the encapsulation joined by an underscore.

in this case the Package_TO_SOT_SMD library was written TO_SOT_SMD_Package this makes pcbdraw not detect the component.

rename the folder and it worked for me

This is related to the naming change between KiCAD 4 & 5. We should revisit the libraries and probably introduce separate libraries for KiCAD 5 and 6 in the future.
