Hey,
since SVN r2775, snippets can also be used to insert variable content like the template wildcards {year}, {date} and {datetime}.
So, basically the "Insert Date" code in the Edit menu is more or less not necessary anymore as it can be emulated with snippets like: [Default] date={date} datetime={datetime}
So, I'm thinking of dropping the whole code for the "Insert Date" menu items.
Pros: - lots of code can be removed - avoid duplicate functionality in the core - less bloated Edit and Editor popup menu
Cons: - a little less flexibility for the date/time format - (more?)
Alternatively, we could move the "Insert Date" code into an internal or external plugin.
Any ideas, opinions, objections?
Regards, Enrico
