You don't say what operating system you're using, but if it's Windows, the
library has to be in the user space. Alternatively, you run kicad as
administrator but I never do that. KK will ask you to

Re: Schematic file reported as "already open" ??
I have my KiCad projects on Microsoft Onedrive. This is great if you use multiple computers to access the same files (not at the same time of course). I know Onedrive does have a file locking

Re: Schematic file reported as "already open" ??
Oh, Kicad Nightlies (at least the previous 7.99s) did crash on saves quite frequently and that lead to the message. That behaviour is not Window's fault.

I have the same issue with a schematic file. I use only release versions, no nightlies. Problem came after a forced exit of the program when it was not responsive. Might be a windows file system

Re: Personal library not updating ...
I assume you have your personal library in the footprint library list?
If you have footprints with the same name in more than one library, KiCad will choose the first one it encounters in the

Re: Personal library not updating ...
Definitely not ;-)
I can work around it by changing the foot print in the PCB editor and then update the schematic from the PCB but it's a bit of a PITA.

Re: Personal library not updating ...
Any chance that you have a project library with the same name as your
