  • I'm currently trying to spin the thoughts going through my head into something not quite so negative (about the Arduino IDE), but... nothing doing. Commented Aug 2, 2014 at 0:16
  • @Ignacio after a few things like this, I couldn't agree more. I'm really confused why it does this... Commented Aug 2, 2014 at 0:19
  • Usually you would not expect a user to be editing library code. Commented Aug 2, 2014 at 15:07
  • Why not just have them edit the library in an external editor? If they want to compile, they just open the example you include with the library inside Arduino IDE and press verify. Alt-tab back and forth, I use that a lot. Commented Aug 2, 2014 at 17:45
  • @user2973 but how would you open the .cpp file in the first place to see if it compiles? You can't, and the command line isn't ideal (even if it supports compilation from non .ino files) Commented Aug 7, 2014 at 14:26
