Hello.
I need help trying to figure out why my custom component from user data directory are unusable.

Also it look like everything is located in /usr/share directory.
The directory ~/.local/share/simulide/ only contain:
compList.ini
simulide.ini

Here is the xml file from my user/data directory.

itemlib>
  <itemset category="SAP1" type="Subcircuit" folder=".">
    <item name="74HC00" info="quad 2-input NAND gate" folder="IC/74HC00"/>
    <item name="74HC04" info="hex inverter" folder="IC/74HC04"/>
    <item name="74HC08" info="quad 2-input AND gate" folder="IC/74HC08"/>
    <item name="74HC32" info="quad 2-input OR gate" folder="IC/74HC32"/>
    <item name="74HC86" info="quad 2-input XOR gate" folder="IC/74HC86"/>
  </itemset>
</itemlib>

Any help will be greatly appreciated

Hi.

I need help trying to figure out why my custom component from user data directory are unusable.

To help it would be good to know what have you done and what exactly means unusable, what happens for it to not be usable.

Also it look like everything is located in /usr/share directory.

If you install from repositories, that's the place where files go.
