I have uploaded version 3.4 (revision 7) of nsPropertyMapper to the Sample 
Stacks site. You can now insert an image into a text field by dragging an image 
reference from the ImagePicker onto a character in the field. It looks like 
another revision soon will be needed in light of the new iconGravity settings 
in LC 10.

While working on the PropertyMapper I have been frustrated by not being able to 
open alternative versions of the stack (working version, previous version, 
golden master, version I left on the Desktop for some reason I have forgotten) 
to compare or recover bits of scripts, because of the limitation in LC about 
stack names. So I have put together a script database management 
stack/standalone in which one can install as many copies of stacks as you like, 
and search their scripts. You can save favourite code snippets (eg a UTC 
timestamp handler, or Jacque's recent note about visual effectrate which was 
news to me), add keywords for later database queries, compare versions, and 
even search for that script you wrote some time before 2010 where you made a 
comment somewhere about a memory leak.

It runs best as a standalone so rather than submit it to Sample Stacks the 
compiled versions together with the source are available at

Comments, bugs and suggestions most welcome.

OT: All this would have been ready days ago if I hadn’t been diverted by the 
wordle craze  - it’s all too tempting  to use LC to quickly cobble together 
versions for other languages since I already have word lists for English, 
French, Italian, German etc, and looking at frequency tables for the best first 
test word. Hint: the most frequent letters sequence is *not* ET AION RSH… 
well-known to codebreakers.
