I have a LibreCAD project cloned from a collaborator’s github that is structured like the examples with a .lpp file in the top level and when I try to open that .lpp, I get an pop up with the message “Directory does not contain a LibrePCB project” error.
What am I doing wrong? I have only just installed LibreCAD in order to work with this project.
Unfortunately the linked repository does not contain a valid LibrePCB project. He did not commit all the dotfiles (files starting with . in its name). Probably he has them only on his computer but did not commit them. Maybe you could contact him somehow (e.g. opening a GitHub issue) and ask to commit the missing files.
And btw, the application is called LibrePCB, not LibreCAD
