Hide Boards (that I don't have)

I have quite a few different microcontrollers (about 10 I think) on several different platforms.  But that's nothing compared to the size of my boards list.  So when starting a new project or migrating a project to a different board, I have to dig thru that list and remember exactly which of many similarly named boards I actually have.

I'd like a way to hide most of those boards in the list, and only show the ones I actually have.  I went into the Arduino/Hardware folder and edited boards.txt and remarked out boards I don't have, but they still show up.  Couldn't locate any other files where they are listed.  Is there a file somewhere I can easily edit to filter out most of these boards?

Hi,

Yes I am looking at ways to make the boards list easier to use. Someone suggested putting recently used ones at the top.

Editing the boards.txt in hardware\avr will hide the avr boards but if you have installed packages using boards manager they are stored in the local user folder.

You might want to take a look at the first tab (Installed) in the Visual Micro Explorer tool. The Installed tab allows you to easily search for boards by name or processor etc. Double click a board to use it in the current project. The same tool also gives links to the hardware folder where the definitions are located.

Click rescan or restart the ide if you edit a boards.txt
