The Code Collector Pro Interface
Code Collector Pro's UI is similar to many applications on Mac OS X such as Apple's Mail application. On the left is your source list (1). This contains your library and any groups you have made. In the top right is the snippets list (2). This shows all the snippets in the library or group selected on the left. From here you can change the name, language and licence of the snippet. To add and delete snippets use the toolbar icons in the top left. To access more details about the selected snippet click on the info button into the toolbar. Below the snippet list is the code view (3). This is where you enter your code snippets. The syntax highlighting, font and line numbers can be modified in the preferences. To search through your snippets simply enter a search term into the search field (4). You can narrow the search criteria by clicking on the magnifying glass on the left of the field. To add a new group you can click on the + button at the bottom of the source list (5). For more options click on the action button next to it
