Updates to the code snippets database are made available from time to time
on the web. You can download the latest version of the database easily by
connecting to the internet then clicking the Update Database from Web toolbar button or by choosing the
Database | Update From Web menu option.
The Update From Web dialogue box will be displayed. Make sure you are connected to the internet then click the Update from Web button to begin the update.
By default CodeSnip checks periodically to find if any database updates are available. It displays a pop-up notification in the main window if an update is available. The notification includes a button that displays the Update From Web dialogue box mentioned above. You can switch this feature off, or change the frequency with which checks are made, by using the Updates tab of the Preferences dialogue box.
Database updates apply to all users. This is because only one copy of the database exists on the computer.
Updating the database has no effect on any user-defined snippets that have been created – they are not overwritten by the update process.
