What's new regarding QSnipps v2 ?

Hey guys!

It's been a while since I've made a blog post about what's coming to QSnipps, so here are some of the features that I want to implement by the time QSnipps 2 will be released, which should be around mid-July.

QSnipps 1.8 user interface updates

It's been a busy month for me, especially after making the newest beta version available for public download. I got lot's of emails with feedback regarding the latest version, so thank you all for your valued opinions!

At the moment I'm still working on fixing some bugs and refining the UI, based on the received feedback. Here are some screenshots with changes made since the latest public beta.

Hope you like what you see and don't forget to send your feedback by using the contact form from the support page!

2. Selecting the "New Snippet" submenu from the "File" menu;
3. Pressing the "+" icon and then selecting the "New Snippet" submenu option, while having a category selected from the main categories list;
4. Right-clicking on the main snippets list and then selecting the "New Snippet" submenu option, while having a category selected from the main categories list;
