Hi,
this already works basically but the concept could be taken a bit further
Suggestions

  • The Boards-menu should be made into a new toplevel menu. There is no relation to the other items in Tools like autoformat.
  • The third party boards should apppear in a dedicated sub-menu of the boards menu which is named after the core they belong to.
  • Import libraries should group the available libraries in submenus by the core they belong to.
  • Programmers should be grouped in submenus by the core in which they are defined.
  • Support a dedicated sketchbook-folder for libraries written for a specific core.

The thrid party board support was added in 0018. Sanguduino now works for example.
