JabRef version

5.12 (latest release)

Operating system

Windows

Details on version and operating system

Windows 11 23H2

Checked with the latest development build (copy version output from About dialog)

• I made a backup of my libraries before testing the latest development version.
• I have tested the latest development version and the problem persists

Steps to reproduce the behaviour

1. Go to File -> New library
2. On the Web search panel on the bottom left select "Springer" from the dropdown
3. Type any valid query (e.g. "topology") and click Search. You'll see a list of entries as results.
4. Select one or more entries by clicking on them.
5. Click on "Import entries"
   You will see a dialog box with the following error (as attached in Appendix):
   File directory is not set or does not exist!

The entries are imported nevertheless, so I guess it's mostly a false alarm that needs a fix.
