 +The list at the top shows folders with different categories of snippets. Drag any folder that contains FotoMagico snippet files to the list to permanently add this folder to the list. Optionally you can right-click on the list background to show a context menu and select the <​html><​span class='​menuItem'>​Add Folder…</​span></​html>​ command. Remove the folder again by selecting <​html><​span class='​menuItem'>​Remove Folder</​span></​html>​ from the context menu.

 +The snippets of the currently selected folder are displayed below the divider line. Drag the divider line up all the way to collapse the list of folders to a small popup menu. This maximizes the amount of vertical space available for the Snippets Browser. This is especially helpful on small notebook displays.
