Hi
Sometimes it is difficult to find custom made .lbr files, specially if several versions of EAGLE is installed.
Also, in order to modify the $EAGLEDIR\lbr directory you need to be admin on the PC (Windows 7).
EAGLE sets up the "Projects" parameter in the "Directory" window to "$HOME\eagle;$EAGLEDIR\projects\examples"
May I suggest that this is change to "$HOME\eagle\projects;$EAGLEDIR\projects\examples" and that
the parameter "Libraries" is set to "$HOME\eagle\lbr;$EAGLEDIR\lbr"
if a user do "Create new library" this library will be stored in "$HOME\eagle\lbr".
The benefits are several
All the custom made libraries is found in one single specific place
It is easy to find and share custom made library files
This mean that you do not have to be admin on the computer to create new libraries either.
If version control of the libraries is needed between different versiosn of EALGE it can also be solved.
If a library is created with EAGLE-6.2.0 it is stored in $HOME\eagle\lbr\EAGLE-6.2.0.
If a library is created with EAGLE-6.3.0 it is stored in $HOME\eagle\lbr\EAGLE-6.3.0.
Any version of EAGLE will search all directories in $HOME\eagle\lbr but only use those that it is capable of opening.
If the same component exists in more than one file the newer is used.
If EAGLE-6.3.0 open and modify a file from $HOME\eagle\lbr\EAGLE-6.2.0 the modified file will be saved in $HOME\eagle\lbr\EAGLE-6.3.0 so the old file fileformat compability is keept for EAGLE-6.2.0
This goes as well for modifying files from "$EAGLEDIR\lbr"
