Snippet: drag&drop lines to new item, limit "Name" length

[Stefan]

If i created an new item
by drag & dropping an line to an snippet folder
then the “Name:[ ]” field of the fresh created
item is set to the same text as the “Text:[ ]” field.

This is bad because that way i get two times
the same content into an snippet, which could
be very large strings if i d&d several lines to/as
one new item. So i blew up the “database” needlessly.
(Edit by hand is no real option while adding many new items at one time)

So i want to suggest to crop the string for
the “Name:” field to lets say ten words, but
not more then 72 chars. (or something like that :-) )
on drag and dropping automatically.
(But let the user modifying that field manually to any length of course.)

Drag&Drop leads to an empty snippet for me ?!

emed32_11.1.2_beta.exe on XP SP3

I installed emed32_11.1.2_beta.exe
and then chose import/export to ini.

Then enabled snippet plugin
and drag a few selected lines to the snippets
and as result i got an new item symbol
but without any text/content.

Today, (2/28/2012) we are releasing EmEditor Professional v11.1.0 beta.
Updates from v11.0.5 include:
NEW FEATURES

– (Snippets plug-in) The title of a snippet is now automatically cut off at 79 characters long when text is imported by drag-and-drop from the text area or another application.

I also have this problem where just an empty snippet is created

This will be fixed on the next beta version.

Thank you,
