Summary

Support: 1.Manage Text 2. Import / Export

Update:

  • v2.2.0 fixed: can not add texts in folders.

To my user: Many users want me to add the ability to store snippets online. I also think it is necessary, and I also have the technology to develop it. However, resources such as the service host require some economic cost. Will you still use it if I charge for it? How much are you willing to pay for it? I want to know your thoughts.

Added a few items. When I right click to add one, it just gives me "Create/Edit Texts" which takes me to the list of my snippets. I can copy them from there and paste, but how is that any easier than using my existing .txt files?

After adding some snippets I found that the context menu that is meant to let you paste the snippets doesn't show any of the snippets that I added
