I am using VA Snippets - I work on three different computers and I want to share my VA Snippets across my different workstations - so it would be cool if three would be function to export and import VA Snippets. This would it make also possible to share VA Snippets with other developers.

As the tpl (snippet) files are simple text files, you can already share by simple copy pasting them Yes, yes, not as convenient as an xml file but it does the trick, right? We have a lot of outstanding feature requests and somehow we have to prioritize them. This is a good idea, but IMO it might not the most productivity enhancing feature to implement.

It would be useful if it would possible to export/import only one specific VA Snippet - the format should be xml or json like this:


<xml>
<va_snippet>
<title>HelloWorld</title>
<shortcut>Strg+F23</shortcut>
<description>A Hello World example</description>
<code>
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

void main()
{
	cout<<"Hello World!"<<endl;
	system("pause");
}
</code>
</va_snippert>
</xml>


This would it make easy to give away a snipped to a colleague or share it on a blog - there is already a snippet format for .Net Languages integrated in Visual Studio - maybe you can make it combatable with this format and extend its support to C++

anyway thanks for the hint to the Autotext folder

We are considering splitting the autotext files into two at some point. So there would be a global autotext file, e.g. for the entire team and the standard personal autotext file:

case=1008

For now, you may find these useful:
