old user libs

[chrwei]

I'm not sure what exact end-game for this feature is, but it currently doesn't work at all.

this patch for libraries.js makes it work, if you add a file for each lib you need to use in node_modules/arduinodata/libraries with "oldlib" as the source.

with the settings file no longer needed, where do we put libraries?

[joshmarinacci]

Auto installed libs will go into a platform specific dir (on Mac it's ~/Libraries/ElectronIDE/downloads). User libs will stay in the standard Arduino location, ex: ~/Documents/Arduino/libraries

[chrwei]

one of the reasons I started using the zip file for arduino IDE on linux is because the packaged versions never seemed to pick up libs in ~/sketchbook/libraries/. I don't think I've tried since 1.0.0 since what I had worked.

I would still like to see a way to override where the sketchbook goes, so it can be in a dropbox or sparkleshare folder directly.

[joshmarinacci]

Oh, you can still set it manually, but by default it will auto-detect.

[chrwei]

so then the settings file is still used? and the .example change should still be made to prevent a pull from overwriting it?

proper user lib support is done.
