Directory option no longer working?

For what it's worth in my case, win7/64 Eagle 6.5 - in my Directories

settings for the libraries, I have

"$EAGLEDIR\lbr;$HOME\eagle\mjf_lbr;$HOME\eagle\3rd_lbr" - when I select

"Add" for a component, it does show all the libraries, but as I noted in my

original post,

If you activate the UPDATE command without a parameter, a file dialog will

be presented to select the library from which to update."

Unfortunately, if I do it that way, it does not give me the option of

selecting my library. It appears to only offer libraries that are in the

main lbr folder, not any other (like the ones in my personal path) in spite

of the fact that in the "Directories" dialog, I do have the additional

paths specified ( $EAGLEDIR\lbr;$HOME\eagle\mjf_lbr;$HOME\eagle\3rd_lbr )

and the libraries are marked as active (green dot). I can see them from the

libraries tree and use the parts, but the update dialog only shows the ones

in the lbr tree, not in the "mjf_lbr" or "3rd_lbr" folders. Am I missing

something or is this a bug? (Library Update all does pick up the changes so

it knows to look there).  It is only looking in the default library, none

of those listed in the Directories option.

I did discover that while my libraries are NOT listed in the update option

(although it can find them for parts doing an add), that if I look in the

library tree I can RIGHT click my library and select "Update" and that

seems to work also.

Interesting and I have encountered similar bugs.  Today I downloaded libraries from Element14 and extracted to element14 subfolder.  I looked at the tree and saw TWO identical element14 folders the 2nd being in another library folder.  So I deleted that element14 folder and when I refreshed the tree items in BOTH element folders were gone.  So maybe I lost my work files same way by having two project folders with the same name (I intended to make a subfolder with same name as I wanted to work in the new folder and delete the original folder.)  Now I noticed I have two ltspice libraries, one is Libraries\ltspice and the other is Libraries\lbr\ltspice.  Don't know how that happened.
