Docs don't describe how to access Library Manager GUI #369

Open dsjstc opened 7 years ago

dsjstc commented 7 years ago

Just spent about half an hour trying to figure out how to use and/or install the Library Manager gui into the IDE My IDE (2.0 beta 2) doesn't match the docs in a handful of places. Specifically, the following imply that there is a Library Manager gui, which one might assume has to be installed separately:

Ultimately, it was this screenshot that tipped me off: it says "gui coming soon", although for some reason that menu item is entirely missing from my IDE.

PS: This all started because I was looking for an easy way to open an example from an Arduino library as a new project in the IDE -- as of this report, I don't believe there is one.

Have you seen Menu: PlatformIO > Home > Libraries?

Awesome.

It works really well! However, I don't see it referenced anywhere obvious in the IDE docs. Having a toolbar button go straight there would probably save a lot of people my grief.

I'll leave the bug open in case you want it as a placeholder for either (a) doc revisions, or (b) restore the toolbar button. Feel free to close it if you don't.
