I don't know if anyone has mentioned this yet, but I'll throw it out there --
My collections of commands and snippets are both getting a little long, and as I add more I can see it becoming a bit of a task to pick them from a popdown menu. Is it possible to group these somehow, so that we can choose from submenus instead of the super-long scrolling menu from hell?
I know that using the trigger+tab shortcuts sort of obviates the need for this in the snippets, but I'm still getting used to the idea of using the triggers and need to lean on the menu -- plus I can see it being a pest for the commmands.
thanks, Raena

Currently there's no way to group (or drag-sort) the items. But it's something which'll be introduced real soon now! :)
Though I'm still not entirely sure how to do it. I would like to also show which bundle stuff is from in the various editors, also so that the user can place his things in specific bundles w/o resorting to the Finder.
For this probably an outline view or browser view is best, but not sure if I should then show the top level (which would be the bundle name) in the menus. For a person placing everything in the default (“Custom”) bundle, that'd probably not make sense, since that'd be two sub menus to get to his custom stuff...
Maybe I could make it so that all bundles except Custom were sub menus...
I'll play a bit with it after 1.0.1 (which was delayed till today due to tab graphics ;) ).
Kind regards Allan

Drawers, just like the project drawer would be nice, just add radio-buttons in the tab bar to select which drawer to open (Project-Command-Macros-Snippets-Clipboard history-Templates)
Pleeeezzze ;-)

Outline view would make the most sense to me as a user.

...that's a lot of things, and I personally wouldn't feel that the project area (where documents live) is an appropriate place to also find bundly things -- although I wouldn't find it strange to find templates there.
Perhaps the contextual menu could accommodate something, though? Currently it has 'Filter through Command,' but perhaps some oft-used snippets wouldn't go astray here?
