- Add user prompt for successful library addition
Currently when you do a particle library add neopixel, the command runs and ends there. We should say whether it was added or failed (and the reason)

A way to search/list available libraries (with wild cards and case-insensitive) would be good too.
Needing to guess or look up the exact lib name to import it in Build doesn’t feel professional (especially since Build does not show the casing easily ;-))

There was is prompt but it is gone in the last version. Mat is aware of the regression.
Library search is Mat's next task.

@jvanier, was the windows path issue fixed yet?
No not yet. I’ll post here when I update the setup instructions with a version that is fixed.

@chuank, welcome to the party in case you are not aware.

I think I finally squashed that bug. You can try the 2.0.0-libraries.5 CLI.
@jvanier, after the update, here is what I get from the compile:

Interesting failure. The RGBmatrixPanel has an implicit dependency on the SparkIntervalTimer. That library will have to be updated by putting that dependency in library.properties as dependency.SparkIntervalTimer=1.3.6. Does that sound right?
As a reminder we will add adapter header files so that #include "SparkIntervalTimer/SparkIntervalTimer.h" will keep working but right now replace those lines with #include "SparkIntervalTimer.h"
@jvanier, I had forgotten that I had added to libraries during testing! I will fix and retest but I believe it looks good!
@jvanier, add the SparkIntervalTimer library, though the CLI does not confirm it as @kennethlimcp pointed out. Compilation fails due to the header file path issues. Note that I can’t change those in the header file since they are part of the RGBMatrixPanel libary files and can’t be modified!
Understood. That's a limitation of not having adapter files generated automatically.
You can work around this right now by creating a file src/SparkIntervalTimer/SparkIntervalTimer.h that contains #include "SparkIntervalTimer.h" in your project.

Which basically kills the reason for importing libraries in the first place! 
Just want to make sure we are talking about the same thing. You don’t need to copy-paste the SparkIntervalTimer library into your project, just include a one line adapter header in your project for the beta until the compile server generates them automatically.
// Put this in src/SparkIntervalTimer/SparkIntervalTimer.h
#include "../../lib/SparkIntervalTimer/src/SparkIntervalTimer.h"
@jvanier, I see. I’ll give that a shot and get back to you with the results 
@jvanier, after adding the adapter header file plus another for another required library, everything compiled as expected.

I’ve just tried to build this project, but failed
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/60050879/RGBMatrixAnimations.zip
The thing is, the build seems to succeede but only produces a 6K binary while the binary from Build is almost 20K and the Photon just sits there breathing cyan but does not do what it’s supposed to do.
That’s rather confusing

And this is what that project should look like on the RGB-Matrix (three independent animations).
but I get a completely black panel - no actions at all.
Any ideas @jvanier?
What is the output of particle binary inspect firmware_p.bin?
I can have a look, but that binary is in that zip too.
