Error saving macro lib file

[rene.heusser]

I have recorded a new macro, which I added to my existing macro library.
When clicking on "Select" or "OK" the message appears "Error saving c:\...\PLSQL ...\macro\r.heusser.lib.

Anybody has an idea why this happens? The rights and attributes are all fine.

Kind regard
Ren

Is there any additional error message text? Does a reboot of the PC help, just in case the file might be locked by another process?

 

[rene.heusser]

I have restarted the PC and it is still the same.
There is no additional error text.

Can you create files in the directory specified? Can you modify the r.heusser.lib file?

 

[rene.heusser]

Yes, I can create files in the directory.
If PLSql Developer is closed I can modify and save the file with a text editor and a backup file is created in the same directory.
If PLSql Developer is active, I cannot save modification to the file with a text editor --> Error: Unable to save ... Access denied. Possible cause: Another program has this file open.

There must be something really strange with the macros now. I have updated to the latest version 7.1.4.1390 and encounter still the same problem, but now even if I press F11 for "Macro Record (F11)" PLSql developer hangs and freezes the whole screen and no further input neither mouse nor keyboard can be made.
The only way to get out of this is to press ctrl-alt-delete and call the task manager, which then allows to click on the recorder button to stop recording. After this everything is back to normal (more or less, see above )
