Summary

The Available Snippets Folders dialog allows you to create or remove snippets folders. Snippets folders are standard Windows folders that store snippets along with one or more sub-folders that can be used in future designs.

Access

The dialog is accessed by clicking the button in the upper right corner of the Design Reuse panel, and choosing Snippets Folders from the associated menu.

The Design Reuse panel can be accessed when the UI.DesignReuse option is enabled in the Advanced Settings dialog. The Advanced Settings dialog is accessed by clicking the Advanced button on the System – General page of the Preferences dialog. If any changes are made in the Advanced Settings dialog, the software must be restarted in order for the changes to take effect.

When the UI.DesignReuse option is disabled in the Advanced Settings dialog, the Snippets panel is used for managing local snippets, and the Available Snippets Folders dialog can be accessed in the following ways:

  • Click Snippets Folders at the top right of the Snippets panel.
  • Right-click in the Snippets panel then click Add » Snippets Folder.
