I think it would be beneficial to be able to arrange what order we have our recipes. It should also be fairly easy to implement

Would it be possible to create a cookbook API? That might allow clever folks to create tools of their own for sorting, categorizing, and editing recipes.

Nope, it is NOT foxed :( (latest dev update)

  1. run selection interface
    2a. delete recipe -> blank space, no name in place of deleted recipe. It should rebuild book instantly
    2b. create new recipe, save as -> it is not visible in cookbook, even if it is shared.
  2. Switch to old interface -> everything is ok…

What I'm missing most is a button to open an external editor (which I can choose) to edit the script. FoldIt would then wait until the editor process quits and read back the file from disk. There's no need to change the way the cookbook is organized internally. Just write a temp file with the code of the selected recipe and open it with the external editor. User can edit, save, quit. And then FoldIt would automatically read back the changes when it detects that the editor process has quit.

I know this seems like only a small improvement over CTRL+C, CTRL+V. But programmers don't like doing repetitive stuff, and we're talking about scripting here, so… ;)

I think this is a nice to have idea.
However this will not work with the way I have organized my code. Modules that are assembled using the gcc preprocessor. The new way we can save to and load from files should stay there if the editor idea is implemented.
