Features:
  • get all snipptes ("Update from Snipplr" button) runs in a separate thread, so the editor is not blocked. And you can see them as they are download.
  • you can post a new snippet ("New Snippets" button, and "Save" with the button to post it to Snipplr.com)
  • writes Snipplr snippets in another file (not the original Kate snippet file), so you can have the two snippets manager at the same time.
