The toolbar buttons correspond to the currently opened part/library. Most likely you have modified another library and have not saved the changes, please verify.

[Nicholas Savenlid (nicholas-z)]

I launched from schematics , right clicking a symbol and properties / edit with symbol library

So thats the way the lib was opened / invoked.
Then i did duplicate, renamed, edit , exit

will verify next time.

[Nicholas Savenlid (nicholas-z)]

confirmed

I dont open any other lib than 1 lib / target lib

launch from schematic via properties / edit with library editor

duplicate / rename / edit / save / exit

regardless the amount of save buttons i push, a save pop-up appears

I can't reproduce this.

Its still there
1: open a lib
2: duplicate a part
3: rename / edit
4: save part button
5 save lib button
6: exit

it ask you if you want to save the lib.
rock solid, every time.

@Nicholas, I still can't reproduce it. Can you be more specific about your steps?

I assume step 1 is still:
1a: Open schematic
1b: Right click on symbol; chose Edit

How are you duplicating? Is that through right-clicking on the part in the component tree? Are you duplicating the root part or an alias?

How are you renaming? Pressing E over the value field on the canvas? Right click on value field?

Steps 4 and 5 seem pretty self-explanatory.

What about 6? Is that clicking the libedit window close box? Or exiting the application?

[Nicholas Savenlid (nicholas-z)]

I can send a video next time i do it.
will do later today

video

some paus while i looked for new-part mo
but at the end shows the problem.

[Maciej Suminski (orsonmmz)]

Amazing.. I launched cbf433fe on two machines next to each other and performed the same steps as shown on the video. On Linux it works as expected (i.e. library is saved and there are no dialogs), on Windows 7 it behaves as on the video. The joy of multiplatform development erupts again.

Nicholas, thank you for the video, it made the steps very clear.

[Jeff Young (jeyjey)]

Huh, that's not one I would have guessed would end up being platform-dependent.
