Hello I'm a brand new user of KiCad and a student from Germany. I'm 
not familiar with these CAD-Programs like Eagle or KiCad so please be 
patient with me.
I have some questions:
I tried to edit a new connector with libedit. I gave it a name and a 
reference, I included some pins and a rectangle around it. Now I 
wanted to save it into the already existing library "conn". This was 
working. But then I wanted to save the active library. This was not 
working. 
These error-messages followed one another:
Modify Library File "C:/.../conn.lib"?
Failed to rename old lib file C:/.../conn.bak
Failed to save old lib file C:/.../conn.bck
Failed to create Lib File C:/.../conn.lib
Error while saving Library File C:/.../conn.lib".
Failed to copy the file "C:/.../conn.lib" to "C:/.../conn.bak" (error 
5: Zugriff verweigert)
Failed to copy the file "C:/.../conn.dcm" to "C:/.../conn.bck" (error 
5: Zugriff verweigert)

Now I can use the created element in the schematic, where I created 
it, but if I open a new schematic and want to use the same element 
there too, its missing.

The other thing is that I cannot save the element into a new library. 
If I want to save it for example into a new library "MYCONN" the 
message "Failed to create Lib File C:/.../myconn.lib" gets generated.

Can you help me, please?
