What do you think of introducing a second "user collection"?
For explanation:
In a company it would then be possible to have an official QET-, a company-wide and a personal collection. All elements that are published and valid for the entire company (e.g. on a network drive) would then be in the company-wide collection. Then the personal collection would be available on your own computer as a "playground" until these elements are also transferred to the company-wide collection, or even to the QET collection!
On Linux systems such a scenario can be achieved by using symbolic links, but on Win? Some say there are symlinks on win but I haven't seen any! Additionally the creation of symbolic links is often forbidden by company IT...

Now we are talking, this is what I need "This beg the question /request that I would like to save parts outside the elements library folder." but this will works even beter ( if I can export it easely )
So, I didn't read everything, but about the request, I am voting a plus1.
Maybe even unlimited libraries off a kind or per project base so we can export those and send it to a coworker. Look at the Kicad 'manage symbols' dialog with a list of external Libraries of element and then with a export function of the project and elements yes or no included. ( still busy with a recovery project from drawings to make them digital; am at 25% but it could be quicker with some technical help like this. )
About the element editor:
Please make the use of keystroke delete/forward delete equal in use in both editors ( sheet and element editor ).On the Mac it is not used consistent.
Thanks.
