Add Snippet Interface Improvements

Hi,

Since I was in photoshop, I did a quick mockup of the interface improvements i would like to suggest for the "Add Snippet" feature.

Let me know what you think



1. Clicking the snippet will load the info for that snippet in adjacent form. It would be good to be able to refer to the variables that are available and the correct syntax for calling them in the snippet
2. Clicking the insert snippet button would place the snippet tag into the content. Reducing spelling,formating errors. Plus saves time and is convenient.


Cheers

Dean... I like it! The snippets listing was a bit confusing and this makes it really worthwhile. Thanks!

(and just ’cause this won’t be in 095, please don’t forget to remind us really quickly thereafter (like the day after or so)... and if the reminder is accompanied by code, even better!)

...and who knows even offer an automatic snippet calls generator via a simple GUI (choose the sort order, number of articles to list, filter to apply... etc). Now here is an idea

Maybe like this...

Dean,
Some work has been done on this front with a plugin for tinymce, check it out here:
