What are Assets?
Files but so much more
Just-Snips can work with the following asset formats:
Text Assets
TXT
- plain text using ASCII or UTF encoding
RTF
-
Rich Text Formatted using Microsoft's RTF format
SVG
-
Vector Graphics description assets
HTML
-
HTML elements or whole pages
Bitmap Assets
BMP
- The bitmap you get when copy and pasting using clipboard
GIF
(anim)
-
Clipart from the internet, sometimes animated
JPG
-
Most bitmaps you will encounter from cameras and scanners
PNG
-
Bitmaps with loss-free compression
At this moment, RAW
and TIFF
are under consideration, depending your
interest. These will most probably be implemented as for-pay features.
Where to get Assets
You can source assets from several locations:
- Windows Clipboard
- You can ask Just-Snips to check you clipboard for content.
You can check every time you activate the app, but (as a Store App) it is not allowed to continuously check your clipboard.
- Import them from Windows file system
- You can import assets directly from your computer's file system.
- You can create an external library.
- This library is based on an existing folder and will track changes in the files in that folder when initialized and on demand.
- You can create empty text assets.
- Once created, you can use the text editor to provide content.
