Description

Please stop the library manager from updating the list of libraries EVERY time.

If I install a library then go back to install another library a few mins later there is n o need for the IDE to yet again check the library list. Nothing will have changed in such a short amount of time. Have an option so it checks only once per day or something.

This is very annoying when installing several libraries in a short space of time.

Research direction

The issue does not name a file, test, or entry point. Start by locating the IDE's library manager refresh logic and how its settings are stored; done means repeated library installations do not refresh the list unnecessarily and the requested refresh interval can be configured.
