Original description

What change would like to see?

A menu item (probably at the bottom of the Sketch > Import Library menu or in Tools) called something like "Add library" or "Install library". This would prompt the user to select a .zip file or a folder, unzip the archive if needed, and copy the folder to the libraries/ sub-folder of the user's sketchbook.

Why?

To make it easier to install a library without mucking about in your computer's file system.

fixed and released in IDE 1.5.1
