	How can i set were each library is pulled from. How can I set in Visual stuidio Default location for Libraries If i type #include "blabla.h" without typing the whole path it will pull from the arduino libraries folder. But what if i have another folder that I also want to pull Libraries from. With the esp32 arduino idf the libaries are in another location some seem to pull but some will default to the arduoino folder first.

	Thanks for the update and information. The library in the libraries folder is overriding the one you want to use from the core. If you do not need to keep the one installed in the libraries folder (assuming its an older version of the same library), it can be deleted or moved to another location, and the core library will be automatically used in that case.

	Can i add the libraries manually like as reference? I have been unable to do that but would be nice. Or even as connected project like the cloning in the library manager but manually add.
