Using Extensions

Extensions and snippets can be found in the Extensions and Snippets Forum Category. They provide ways to extend and customize the application with functionality that might be too specialized to include in the core application itself.

Installation of Snippets

  1. Copy the source code of the snippet into the clipboard
  2. Open the application settings (AspectSettings on macOS and FileSettings on other systems)
  3. Go to the ExtensionsSnippets page
  4. Click Add Snippet…
  5. Paste the source code of the snippet into the “Source Code:” field

The new snippet can then be found in the File menu. You can also assign a keyboard shortcut to the snippet in the Shortcuts section of the application settings.
