add Libraries in sub folder of libraries

Development Tools IDE 1.x

hi
I intend to add my libraries in special folder in Arduino libraries folder like following temple

libraries/MyLibraries/lib1,lib2,lib3,.........

but Arduino can't recognize(find) those and always throw error "No such file or directory"
my question is how to force Arduino to consider multi libs in sub folder
is it possible to make "MyLibraries.h" in the MyLibraries folder and header files of libs in sub folder
Tnx

The Arduino IDE doesn't allow you to do this.

The work was already done 4.5 years ago to allow this but unfortunately it was never accepted by the Arduino developers:

You're welcome to give a "thumbs up" reaction on that pull request to show your support.

So if you want to build the Arduino IDE from source, incorporating that change, then it will be possible to do what you want. You can find instructions here:

thanks for your advise but actually this solution has a lot of trouble, I read somewhere that Arduino stop loading any folder content when it doesn't find any header file (*.h), so I'm trying to make such "MyLibreries.h" header file and introduce new libs , but no success yet

Although I also would really like to be able to organize libraries into subfolders, in the end it's easiest to just follow the rules and hope that one day we might have this feature.
