Anybody else found this problem?
I opened Eagle 7 and selected open library. I right-clicked the library I wanted to edit and made a copy. All seems fine, I proceed to edit the copy of the library and hit save.
When I look in the lbr folder using windows file explorer the new copy of the library is not there!
However, it does continue to show when I brows the lbr folder using Eagle. I can edit, save and use the new library. I looked at the file permissions and it is not hidden nor read only etc..

I had a similar problem. Windows was writing to a virtual directory and did not change the files set in the options settings. I moved the Eagle user files to Documents to fix the problem.
Also, check if the attributes of the files are not read only.

Thanks I think that will work. I found if I save on the desktop the file appears. If I save anywhere in the program files folder it doesn't show up in file explorer but Eagle still sees it.
Would it help to run Eagle as Admin?
EDIT: Yes run as Admin allows Eagle to save in the lbr directory and it shows up in file explorer.

For others in the future, this seems like what is going on: I saved some files into the Program Files directory, and now they’re gone! – The Old New Thing
