Hi friends, I’ve created a few snippets and I want to edit them but I’m not able to find where they are installed. I want update the extension functionality without re-creating them. Can anybody help me out with where I can locate these extension/snippet files or how can I edit them from the UI itself?

Your installed extensions (included snippets) are in the Extensions folder inside PopClip’s Application Support folder. For exact location see Paths and identifiers — PopClip
You’ll find your snippets inside extension package names starting with autoname-, which you have to right click and “Show Package Contents” to look inside.

Hey, can you help me understand why I can’t see the Extensions folder in the PopClip’s directory?
I’m trying to find the script I did some time ago for the Remove Backslashes action…
You’ll find the extensions in ~/Library/Application Support/PopClip/Extensions

Would it be possible to use a keyboard shortcut or something similar to select the appropriate extension in the macOS Finder? I have countless autoname- files in my directory. Often, it is quite difficult to identify which one is the installed version.

That’s a good idea
a simpler idea is to just keep a master .txt file containing all your snippets somewhere and when you want to edit a snippet do it there, highlight it, which invokes popclip and it reinstalls. it couldn’t be simpler 
or am i missing something?

My goodness you’re a saint. I cannot live without popclip and I will be buying a lifetime licsene as soon as I calm down from upgrading to Tahoe. A popclip folder does not exist in the Applications Support folder. Should I create it and move the extensions I have downloded there?
Hi David, what is it you are tryoing to do? If you’ve downloaded extensions and want to install them, just double click them (.popclipextz files).
I’m trying to get PopClip workiing on a new computer and Tahoe. PopClip has changed since last installed it. Everything seems to be working now. Thank you. I will definitely be buying that lifetime license in October.
