Empty project/Crash in Kicad 5.99.0-2358-g6d8fb94d

Updated Kicad yesterday from git. Since then, when I open a project (which I edited just before the update) Kicad can't find any files in the project (no *.kicad_pcb no *.kicad_sch). It just says "Empty project" Right clicking in that window immediately crashes Kicad with a segfault (nothing in the console window)

Steps to reproduce

1. Worked with projects with in the old format (*.pcb, *sch)
2. Opened them with the Kicad git version and saved to the new format
3. Updated to the version mentioned above and tried to open the project again

KiCad Version

5.99.0-2358-g6d8fb94d

OS: Arch Linux (updated everything also yesterday)

added priorityundecided statusnew labels

added statusconfirmed label and removed statusnew label

@mangamaniakku Just breifly, I thought this was true, but I had switched to a 5.1.6 window. I can not confirm this behavior. Please check the version info at runtime. (Same version as you state, (5.99.0-2358-g6d8fb94d8))

added statusneed-info label and removed statusconfirmed label

added project-manager label

added statusconfirmed label and removed statusneed-info label

added prioritycritical label and removed priorityundecided label

Ok, I think I see what you mean now. Is is not so much that it can't be found, but rather that it is not shown properly in the treeview in the kicad manager. I got this backtrace:

Project manager on initial open:

At this point, double clicking on for example the "Empty project" entry in the treeview give above backtrace. There is a lot of wx stuff in that backtrace, I don't know if I can roll it back a bit to see stuff from kicad.

Opening eeschema and saving makes the schematic file appear in the treeview. Opening pcbnew and saving makes the board file appear in the treeview. But note that "Empty project" is still there.

Clicking the board file correctly jumps to pcbnew. Clicking "Empty project" still crashes. This happens always.

git clean -fdx .
