Every time I run Visual Studio, Visual Assist appends snippets starting with "Refactor Create Implementation" and all others below it to the snippets collection. So file "cpp.tpl" grows every time more and more... At the same time if I want to insert some snippet (i.e. file header) with "Insert VA Snippet..." command I get empty snippet list.
VA_X.dll file version 10.4.1624.0 built 2007.12.07 DevEnv.exe version 7.10.6030.0 msenv.dll version 7.10.6030.0 Font: Consolas 17(Pixels) Comctl32.dll version 5.82.2900.2982 Windows XP 5.1 Build 2600 Service Pack 2 Single processor
Does your Windows user name contain Unicode characters? The snippet files are stored in the directory:
C:\\Documents and Settings\\ <USERNAME> \\Application Data\\VisualAssist\\Autotext\ It is possible that VA is having problems accessing this directory due to your windows user name.
User name does not contain UNICODE symbols. But the directory itself may contain UNICODE or cyrillic symbols: C:\\Documents and Settings\\ <USERNAME> \\ <Application Data IN RUSSIAN> \\VisualAssist\\Autotext\ But if I erase the whole directory C:\\Documents and Settings...\\Visual Assist it is restored upon Visual Studio restart and the problem remains.
If you use a directory name without any Russian characters then everything should be fine. We are working on fixing this problem with Unicode characters:
I explored the situation with "Process Monitor" from Sysinternals. The problem is that sometimes VA refers to its files as: C:\\Documents and Settings\\ <USERNAME> \\ <Correct symbols IN RUSSIAN> \\VisualAssist\\* and sometimes as: C:\\Documents and Settings\\ <USERNAME> \\ <INVALID symbols IN RUSSIAN> \\VisualAssist\\*
