Library Search Path

Hi,

How should I manage the Library Search Path. It's the folders where the components are.
The problem is that I've lots of components. So I put them all in the same directory. Whatelse if I create a directory per component, then the library search path couldn't have all the directory.
Can anyone give a good idea or a trick to put my library in order, and don't stay in a complete chaos.
Thanks,
Luis

Hi all,

OK I understand that, but in my case I've around 100 components. I don't use them all. Thank god :) What's your recomendation for my case? Can I add 100 paths like F:\PROGRAM FILES\BORLAND\LIB\USR_COMPONETS\COMPONENT1 and the same for 2 and 3...
How will Delphi handle all these? What is the Delphi Path limit? Do you have any other idea?
Thanks,
Luis

You might be better off keeping the originals somewhere safe and just dumping a copy of all the components into one directory. It would be a PITA to set these paths up for every project.

100 might be ok, but it depends on how long each path name is.
