Confusion re: content and use of kicad settings "Symbol Templates Folder"
I am at a loss as to what should be in this field.
The settings Kicad Symbol Libraries Folder are set to /Volumes/Macintosh HD/Users/jplocher/Dropbox/KiCad/Libraries/Symbols
Whatever settings I try to use for Kicad Symbol Templates Folder, when adding a part, I get
Symbol Library: [SPCoast ] Symbol Template: [Capacitors/Ceramic] Footprint Library: [SPCoast] Footprint[C_0603_1608Metric]
[KCAD] Error loading template file (/Volumes/Macintosh HD/Users/jplocher/Dropbox/KiCad/Libraries/Symbolscapacitor.kicad_sym)
Needless to say, there is no file of that name, nor is there a symbol called "capacitor"...
Searches for kintree docs on "symbol templates folder" come up empty...
Where does "capacitor" come from, and what should I use for the templates folder?
Other than this hiccup, I'm impressed!
