I fixed the underscore in the path issue, but now further issues #5

I replaced all instances in the code where the path SMART_Snippets is used. It should be SMART-Snippets.

The problem is that the code still doesn't work. I don't want to appear mean-spirited here, however releasing code that doesn't work wastes a lot of people's time. If it doesn't work and you haven't tested it then don't release it in to the wild. Minor bugs fair enough, but when something just plain doesn't work it is very uncool!

Please put a warning on this package or take it down completely until you have time to fix it. Thanks! You might save some other people some wasted time, wasted hope and wasted energy.

I really hope you get back on this project as it is an amazing idea that has incredible potential.

I thought it was clear in the description that it's very incomplete.

SMART Snippets is still early in development. There is A LOT left to do

I released it so that others could see what I was working on and give input. When there wasn't much interest in the project I decided against wasting more time on it. The last commit was 9 months ago.

While I'm glad people are downloading it and think it's a cool concept, at this stage it would benefit more from people (a) contributing code or (b) offering suggestions and input rather than bug reports (because I know there's going to be bugs). If enough people are interested and I have some free time, maybe I'll resume working on it.

As for it not working, are there any errors in the console? (control + `)

Anyway, thanks for at least giving it a try. I appreciate it.

I must have missed that. So my fault. Apologies for that. I released it so that others could see what I was working on and give input. When there wasn't much interest in the project I decided against wasting more time on it. The last commit was 9 months ago.

If I knew Python I would help you out, as I believe this to have amazing potential.

No errors in the console.

One example I try is to start typing $date and then press tab or indeed enter. The part of $date I type just disappears on doing this, and I'm left with no substitution at all. It doesn't effect the current buffer in anyway, it merely seems to do nothing. Anyway I really appreciate your precious time.

Do you have any clue to where the issue might be? I am willing to take a quick look. I did look at the parse and run functions, however as I said my lack of Python knowledge at this time didn't help me get that far.

Anyway, thanks for at least giving it a try. I appreciate it.

Thanks for having the idea in the first place.
