I downloaded a KiCAD part from Ultra Librarian for a PIC32MX MCU. I was able to import the part but I receive the error "File was empty" while trying to import the footprint.

Hi AndreaC, i just tested the files you shared, and it's working fine on my end.

Can you try again by following these steps? https://www.loom.com/share/b59ed01cc9fd4cbd889be7a34151afaf

Jharwin: I tried again and I got the same issue. Here's a link to a video recording https://lightoptech-my.sharepoint.com/:v:/p/andrea/ETsJ4tuXxkxDqokjJ2mARhgBbCRfJrXN5vXpCOLhRe2QSA?e=6A1MTJ

Hi AndreaC, thanks for reporting this issue! Are you able to share the exact file you tried to import?

I can import the .lib, but if I try to import the .kicad_mod, I get the error.
