They won't work with PNotepad, as PN requires XML-formatted clipsets like:</p> <pre><code>&lt;clips name=&quot;&quot; scheme=&quot;cpp&quot;&gt; &lt;clip name=&quot;File Header&quot; shortcut=&quot;fh&quot;&gt;/** * @file ${PN_FILEPATH} * @brief ${1:Description} */ $0&lt;/clip&gt; &lt;/clip&gt;</code></pre> <p>TextPad clips look like:</p> <pre><code>!TEXT=For statement for(\^; ; ) { }</code></pre> <p>It doesn't make any sense to convert the clip format imo, as PN clips are way more powerful if a shortcut is defined and $-placeholders are set. TextPad seems to allow a single cursor position only (\^) and no placeholders at all.</p> <p>Nonetheless, the TextPad clips could give some inspiration for future PN clips </p> http://pnotepad.org/forums/topic/5442#post-8294 Mon, 05 Sep 2011 22:58:31 +0000 Old Geezer 8294@http://pnotepad.org/forums/ <p>Since I have used TextPad in the past, but I like your program better for a couple of reasons--being free is a major one--I have downloaded several of the TextClips that people have made for TextPad. They seem to use the same format, so I have to ask. Will the TextClips from TextPad work properly in PNotepad? If not, it might be worthwhile to compare some of their clip files with the few that you have here.</p> <p>There are many clips and a lot of them seem to be of reasonable quality, although not all of them are, at TextPad's Clip site, <a href="http://www.textpad.com/add-ons/cliplibs.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.textpad.com/add-ons/cliplibs.html</a>. You said you would like to have more Clips submitted. Well, here are a whole bunch of them for everything from HTML to VB to C/C++/C# to ASCII body pictures for medical use to multiple types of information clips. There are a good number of clips that were made for programmers, but there are also a bunch that were made just to be helpful to people who want to use it as a text editor.</p> <p>Again, from the looks of the number of Clips currently available for PN, it might be well worthwhile to adopt the simple format used by TextPad since those files are freely available to everyone. There is even a Clip file Template to help people create their own, <a href="http://www.textpad.com/add-ons/files/cliplibs/tcl.zip" rel="nofollow">http://www.textpad.com/add-ons/files/cliplibs/tcl.zip</a>. </p> http://pnotepad.org/forums/topic/5308#post-8043 Thu, 23 Jun 2011 16:30:37 +0000 cfontan 8043@http://pnotepad.org/forums/ <p>I added the clips files to the clips folder and restarted the ide and no dice.</p> <p>I looked and there is no installclipchache.xml in %AppData%/Echo Software/PN2</p> <p>I noticed when I added a clip via PN2 IDE that it created a folder in %AppData%/Echo Software/PN2 with a javscript.clips file</p> <p>I edited the file here and the changes were then in the IDE.

PHP/HTML are fairly unique in their relationship. Also note that the HTML scheme can quite happily edit PHP, the PHP scheme is useful mostly where it is assumed that no <code>&lt;?php</code> block is needed to start a code section. </p> http://pnotepad.org/forums/topic/5103#post-7450 Tue, 09 Nov 2010 18:18:14 +0000 Nux 7450@http://pnotepad.org/forums/ <p>Hi. I've noticed that I can't use HTML clips in PHP. What is the advisable way to add some clips from one group to the other?</p> <p>I found a workaround but it doesn't seem very nice - one just need to copy files from clips/web to clips/php. It works fine, but then when I change something in HTML clips they won't be changed for PHP. </p> http://pnotepad.org/forums/topic/734#post-2663 Fri, 15 Jan 2010 16:24:00 +0000 forsooth 2663@http://pnotepad.org/forums/ <p>Thank you for posting this.</p> <p>Dave </p> http://pnotepad.org/forums/topic/734#post-2662 Thu, 14 Jan 2010 19:58:47 +0000 gregrre 2662@http://pnotepad.org/forums/ <p>Hello<br /> First off, this is my first post. I would like to thank you, Simon for developing and maintaining this useful, elegant replacement for notepad. </p> <p>I experienced the same problems with the clips. I added a clip using pn2, saved the file exited and restarted, the added clip did not show in the clip list. After searching the forums i came across this reference:</p> <p>Hi Mario,</p> <p>Can you check for a file called "installClipCache.xml" in the following directory:</p> <p>Vista: c:\users\[your user]\appdata\Roaming\Echo Software\PN2<br /> Earlier: c:\documents and settings\[your user]\application data\echo software\pn2</p> <p>I deleted the installClipCache.xml file and reloaded pn2. Voila! my additional clip was included. pn2 doesn't seem to know when the clips directory or a file therein has been changed... hope this helps</p> <p>greg </p> http://pnotepad.org/forums/topic/734#post-2658 Tue, 12 Jan 2010 14:34:21 +0000 forsooth 2658@http://pnotepad.org/forums/ <p>Hi, Simon --</p> <p>Thanks for your reply.

I hope to improve this in the future, as it's confusing right now.</p> <p>Clips:</p> <p>You don't mention which version you're using, but if you drop a new clips file into the clips folder then PN should pick it up and show it next time.</p> <p>Clips and templates are cached in a file called installClipCache.xml in your user settings directory, to reset the clips and templates back to just what's in the clips folder you can delete this file, but this shouldn't be necessary.</p> <p>Templates:</p> <p>The idea is that you define your templates using the options dialog, see Tools | Options | Code Templates. Add a template for the relevant scheme there, and it should be available from Ctrl-Alt-Space from then on. </p> http://pnotepad.org/forums/topic/734#post-2654 Mon, 11 Jan 2010 15:56:31 +0000 forsooth 2654@http://pnotepad.org/forums/ <p>Follow up --</p> <p>On the clips file, even if I delete some of the "clips" within the phpcontrol.clips, it seems to have no effect, even if I restart PN.

We now cache all the clips to improve performance and allow editing for the code templates. Unfortunately we currently miss new clip files as a result. While I haven't worked out the right way to solve this yet, you can delete the cache file to get your clips added:</p> <p>XP: c:\Documents and Settings\[user]\Application Data\Echo Software\PN2\installClipCache.xml<br /> Vista: C:\Users\[user]\AppData\Roaming\Echo Software\PN2 </p> http://pnotepad.org/forums/topic/340#post-1200 Fri, 22 Feb 2008 09:52:12 +0000 jduijnmayer 1200@http://pnotepad.org/forums/ <p>Hello there,</p> <p>First of all, great editor and I like the simplicity! :)</p> <p>But I have a problem with the clips in version 2.0.7.712.<br /> If I create a new clip or edit one and save it, it doesn't do anything at all.</p> <p>I exit pnotepad.exe and restart it, nothing changed.<br /> Actually, when I remove the clips folder from the Programmers Notepad dir and restart it, it still has all the default clips available.</p> <p>I tried to edit/create some with the external tool, which didn't do the trick.</p> <p>Am I doing something wrong here, the xml format is OK, I'm sure about that and I tried with and without the CDATA part.</p> <p>EDIT: I've tried the latest stable version (2.0.6.1) and the clip editing works fine in that one.<br /> I see the 2.0.7.712 version doesn't use the CDATA tags in the clip files, could that be the problem?</p> <p>Thanks in advance.</p> <p>Jeffrey </p> http://pnotepad.org/forums/topic/150#post-552 Wed, 20 Dec 2006 00:29:31 +0000 midgetporn 552@http://pnotepad.org/forums/ <p>PN2 is great but I'd love to be able to toggle into the text clip window.
