I updated, as it were, to Eagle 5.8.0, and now I spend most of my time wrestling with libraries. Back in the previous version (5.3.0) I created my own library file to hold the devices that I use the most often. That was working fine while I was in that earlier version. Now, though, my file usually doesn't appear in the list of libraries to use when I start the new version, and I seem to have created a copy somehow, somewhere, so when I do find my library I'm never sure which version I'm using.
I'd have thought that I could just find the library file in a subfolder somewhere in the Eagle 5.3.0 folder, and copy it to the corresponding subfolder of the Eagle 5.8.0 folder, like you would have done back in the old pre-Windows days. But it doesn't appear in any file listings. As far as Windows is concerned, my library file doesn't exist.
What do I do to make an existing library available to the newer version of Eagle?
