Disappearing Library

Question

I had a library of parts that I made for myself. It was named !My_Stuff.lbr and everything was working fine; I had used the parts in my designs and was able to make working boards from them. I even had backup copies of the library.

Suddenly the library has disappeared! I can't fine it in EAGLE and I can't find it using windows explorer. Can anyone tell me what might have happened to my file?

TIA

I am replying to my own posting,....

OK, so I have lost my furschlugginer library >:(
I still have the parts in my drawings. How do I reconstruct the .sym and
pkg parts in a new (hopefully more robust) library using the components
from the schematic and layout files? I am using Version 6.4 on Windows
7.

Just a thought: have you tried looking in:

C:\Users\'username'\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files

(x86)\EAGLE-x.xx.x

for your library?

Windows 'User Account Control Data Redirection' has already suprised more

people on this forum. Worth a look. By default the 'Appdata' folder is

hidden, so you may have to adjust your settings to see it.

If your lib IS there I recommend NOT placing your lib, ulp, etc folders in

a 'Program files' subdir. Place them in your document folder (where you

have access rights).

If your lib is gone, use one of the export ulp's. On 5.x there's

'exp-project-lbr.ulp'; it probably exists in 6.x, but I don't know for

sure.
