New Arduino IDE

There's been a few couple of upgrades to the Arudino IDE over the last month.

https://github.com/arduino/Arduino/blob/master/build/shared/revisions.txt

As I'm getting started with the Yun it's nice to see that some of the issues around that have been resolved but I think the feature I'm most interested in is the Library Manager, this should make working on different projects a whole lot easier.

Neil, that's correct. Not only but I have explored a bit and see that the library manager is based on a JSON file including all the last updated library list organised by category. The json file is library_index…

> Microsoft standard software installation rules Sigh. I really hate the way that "Microsoft standard rules" scatter an application all over the disk :-(

So far I've not found the new library manager to be of much help. I tried adding a library from zip and although that did create a library (in my user area) it did allow that library to reference other libraries which were in the program files folders. The net result was that it did not compile. I move the library over to the same folder structure as the others and it worked fine.

But you can change somewhere in the settings (maybe in the preferences advanced text file) where the libraries are stored. Not sure if this version search in both places (your custom folder and the standard folder of the application) or if you should move all the libraries somewhere else.

Eagle CAD uses symbolic links which works quite well.

Enrico, I thought it was a symbolic link from the way it behaves but it turned out to be something stranger. As mentioned above there are "rules" about where you can write files when running an application. One of those is "thou shalt not write to program files", they introduced something in Vista, that I did not know about, "VirtualStore".

What happens is when an unauthorised application tries to write to program files. Windows actually writes it to %LocalAppData%\VirtualStore\Program Files\ instead.
