The file was actually saved, the error message just poped up every time

Hi,

do you save the file on a network drive/share? Other possibilities is that there could be an anti virus program having access on the file?

xyuan6 · November 4, 2023, 3:52pm

Thanks, I use a network drive for synchronizing the lib files, but I’ve used jabref on this network drive for years, and I haven’t had this problem with other lib files. I’ve just tried to stop the synchronization of the network drive, but the error message still poped up (error message does not pop up for other lib file in the same folder)

Can you delete the sav file next to it? JabRef now automatically performs backups in your %APPDATA% directory by default

It works now, thanks a lot!!!
