Presentation

EW Snippets is a free tool that will help you transfer your custom code snippets to Expression Web. It is built as a standalone .Net 2 application, not as an addin.

To install, download the ewsnippetsetup.exe file, run it, and click the Unzip button. This will launch the setup process and start the program.

The main window contains two tabs:

1- EW Custom Code Snippets

This tab lists all the custom code snippets currently in Expression Web.
To export your code snippets, first check the snippets you wish to export, and click the 'Export to...' button. Enter a file name, and it's done!

2 - Import Code Snippets

This tab helps you import code snippets from external sources.
If the 'Import from FrontPage' button is not grayed, click it to list the current custom snippets in your local install of FrontPage.
You may also select another snippet file by clicking the 'Open Import xml file' button. Select a file, and the snippets it contains are listed in the window.
When the list is populated, simply uncheck the snippets you do not want to import, if any, and click the 'Import to EW' button.

Note:

No character set conversion is done in this version. So, if you need to share between Ansi and UTF-8 formats, you should check that the results are as expected.

Revision History

0.9(rev.3)	2007/1/12	- Distribution as a raw Zip packaging was not a good idea, because some unzippers may crash when setup is run from inside the zip file. Install is now packaged in a self extracting zip file wrapping to prevent this.
0.9(rev.2)	2007/1/1	- May crash if no custom snippets present. - FP import yield no results.
0.9	2006/12/22	First released version.
