When you save a new .sch file for the first time, the corresponding -cache.lib file is not created. It is created only after you close the document, open it again and then save.

Two different things are happening here:

1. When you use "save current sheet as" the code to generate the -cache.lib file is not called.
2. When you use "save whole schematic project" and the document is new, the code is called but the file name is not assigned correctly: the file is named "-cache.lib" instead of "noname-cache.lib".

The attached patch fixes both. To fix (2), I replaced the call

    fn = g_RootSheet->GetFileName();

with

    fn = ScreenList.GetFirst()->GetFileName();

Let me know what you think :)

This is good that you found these. I discovered them a while ago but
forgot to fike a bug report.

There was also an issue with specifying a relative path on the eeschema
command line to a schematic, relative path, but longer than a basename.
Can you verify if that is still there?

Found something. The program runs but it shows the error message "Failed
to inspect the lock file ...". I don't know if that was the problem you
found.

I'll take I look tomorrow, I have an idea of where the problem can be.
