IDE: Set many sketchbook path

Projects General Guidance
1

Hello. Do anyone knows if it is possible (and how) to add many sketchbook path editing the preferencies.txt?
I want to do this because I need to keep separate some libraries (I use A LOT of libraries), do you know others way? (now I have only two libraries folders, one is the one created with the ide and one is in the user document folder). I am really disappointed that it is not possible to create subfolder to separate library
example
library/sensor/libSens1
library/sensor/libSens2
library/actuator/libAct1
library/actuator/libAct2
...

Thanks in advance for your help.

I don't think it's possible to have several different sketchbook paths but it is perfectly easy to use "File/Open..." to open a sketch from anywhere on your PC. All that's needed is that the sketch is in a directory with the same name as the sketch.

Remember that the Arduino project was designed for small scale use by novices - the aim to make it easy to get started and it ignores various issues that would become relevant when you use it for larger scale projects. If you're outgrowing it, you could use one of the other development environments to build your Arduino projects.

You're right. I will try with visual studio that is my favourite IDE
