HCollections update

Ω It has been a while, time to address some biggest feature requests and add some new things

HCollection - is an additional module to Hpaste that allows to store any node snippets in your github account and have access to them from anywhere. Or, if you don't want to create a github account - you can still use other people's public snippets.
You can have multiple collections, you can share your collections with your dev team, or friends, or even with general public by making snippets public - this way anyone will be able to use your snippets, but only you will be able to change them.



all the features of normal hpaste snippets are supported in collections, so you can save to collections:
  • nodes
    • all expressions, connections etc will be saved, just like in a digital asset, as well as node colors and shapes, etc
  • comment boxes
  • network boxes
  • non-standard digital assets will be embedded into the collection item by default (see here to know more or how to disable it)

You can read the base introduction to the hcollections post here
The link to github is available in the bottom of the article.

Changes

  •  At last you can quickly enable/disable collections from the list as needed:

    (upper field is for read-write collections that require authentication, lower field is for public collection - you just need to know the name of it to be able to add and use it)
  • Icons for collection items! it should be a pixture that will be resized down to 32x32 pixels

    adding/removing icons is easy:
  • Asynchronous collection loading! no more waiting for all the collections to load before opening the widget

    and you do not need to wait for everything to load, you can start working straight away, newly loaded items will appear when ready
You can get the latest version for free on github
Please report all the bugs to github, i will try to fix them as soon as possible
