Snippet Manager UI suggestion

[jcouture100]

Hi @Blake-goofy and @alex-bochkov,

I use the Snippets and Snippet Manager a lot. As a result I've found the expanding grid to be a bit bother-some.
As you can see in the attached screen shot below, the grid expands to give a preview of the snippets.

If you select an item to edit, the grid stays expanded, and the edit area is displayed. (see screenshot below), so you end up seeing the same script in the grid and in the editor. It seems like an inefficient use of space. Plus navigating down the grid seems to jump quite a bit when you get to a larger snippet.

I've drawn up a new UI layout that I think would make this a better user experience (see screenshot below)

1. The grid rows do not expand to display the body. This makes scrolling or arrowing down through the snippets much smoother.
2. The Editor is moved to the side so you have a larger edit area.
3. (optional) The edit area could stay read only until the user clicks the new Edit button so the editor would serve as both the preview and the edit form.
4. (optional) You could likely do without the "Body (preview)" column in the grid if you choose.

This is just a suggestion.
Have a great day.

John.

Hi all,

Something else I noticed with the snippets grid. Once you click on Save, the grid sort order is lost and the it scrolls to the bottom of the grid. It would be nice if it maintained the specified column sort and stayed on the selected row after save.
