Electronic – Is it possible to add automatically not installed libraries in Altium

As the title says: Is it possible to add automatically not installed libraries in Altium ?

After I reinstall Altium all the libraries I have added are not there I have to add them one by one again looking through every component I have.

Is any way to force Altium to analyze Library directory and search for missing libraries in my project?

Two solutions:

1. Search Path

Add your library path to the system search path. It will look there to find any missing libraries.

To do this, use the "Available Libraries" dialog and select the "Search Path" tab. Add your path to the list.

2. Install Libraries Globally

Install your libraries at the system level then all your libraries will be available in all of your projects.

To do this use the "Available Libraries" dialog, "Installed" tab (you'll have to switch as it is not the default tab when the dialog opens and it looks identical to the "Project" tab layout).

Click the "Install" button and shift-select all of your libraries.
