And not at one server!

The ordinary user doesn't have rights to write files at folders where
KiCad installed and can't save own libs.

I think my bad english doesn't allow me to ask what I want :-)

I surprised when understand such thing:
KiCad doesn't allow to use more than one path to the librarys.

Is it possible to add support for infinite number of library locations?
I talk about the dialog "Preferences/Libs and dirs" impovement (at
bottom field "Default Library paths").
Better to change this to a list of path values and implement buttons
"Add", "Delete" (selected field with path value).

Of course, this require some changes in sources to support this new feature.

What do you think?
