Thanks! I have looked at it, and it seems easy to create a panel with that tool. I will look more into it later today or tomorrow.

@tbowmo
That's understandable

I received this email from dirtypcbs today:

"Thanks for ordering!
So here is the thing- please see attached screenshots. The only drill holes in this Gerber are the mouse bits(the pink layer, photo 001). The light green layer(photo 002) is the top solder mask layer. The problem is that no drills are specified in the solder pads or circles, which means that if we make the board exactly how the gerber is designed, all of the light green parts are solder pads and there WILL NOT be drill holes at the bottom of the solder pads, which seems wrong.
I checked this gerber in our system, and I couldn't find any other orders that included it. Even if we have made this board for other people, it doesn't mean that this back-and-forth didn't happen before. I suggest that you write the designer and forward this message and screenshot to him, so that he can update the design in case you order again in the future.
I am also going to include a screenshot of the whole design, and I hope that will be clear to you what the problem is."

The attachments in the email are basically showing the same as the image I attached in my post above.
I don't find any design files for the panel layout in your git repository, just gerber files. I guess you don't have them anymore?
I will try to make a new panel layout myself, if I not succeed, I will just order single boards.

@tbowmo
OK. Then I guess the files are OK, and that the error is in dirtypcb's system. Thanks!
But what about the drill file on your github. Why am I not seeing the drill holes on the card itself when I am opening it? Shouldn't they be a part of the drill file?

@gohan But then I guess you didn't use the panel version?
From what I can see it looks like the drill file in the panel version is missing the drill holes on the board itself. It looks like it only contains the drill holes between the cards? I am not sure, and has little experience with drill files and pcb design, but it looks like this when I open the drill file (and the profile layer, .gml-file) in gerbview in kicad:

From what I can see the drill holes on the boards itself is missing, but I guess there are others that have ordered this panel version from dirtypcbs, so I find it strange that there should be an error.

I've added the panel design to dirtypcb's store.. So just order it from the following link

http://dirtypcbs.com/view.php?share=16378&accesskey=4e199dccdf623eab0c90fddbc4786f80

I ordered PCBs from dirtypcbs via the link above. But just now I got this message from dirtypcb:
"Problems Drill holes don't match with the solder pads."
Do you know why?

Thanks for your help!
