Thank you very much for your suggestions. I changed all my filenames
to lower case and I deleted all additional !Path entries. Now !Path
contains the standard IDL paths and additionally only the path
pointing to the project directory. Nevertheless it doesn’t work. But I
think it’s still a “path” problem because I realized following
behaviour. If I run the project and start a specific routine (which
wasn’t included in the sav file at first), it appears that this
specific routine is correctly included, when the sav file is created
afterwards.
Many thanks so far,
Helmut Ahammer
