Was it not working?

Your post made me nostalgic, so I checked it out. Seems to work as well 
as before, all the way down to the mystifying order of the categories. 
Alphabetical fall out of fashion?  I'm sure there's a logic there, but 
I'm not smart enough to figure it out.

Even downloaded a stack, some snapshot tool with icons whose purpose 
weren't self-evident.  Clicked one to see what would happen.  System 
froze, deep.  Had to force-reboot.  Don't see that on Linux often. 
Kinda hard to do. Quite an achievement.

Takes me down memory lane with this growing collection of 
related/duplicate bugs with snapshot on Linux:

https://quality.livecode.com/show_bug.cgi?id=17257
https://quality.livecode.com/show_bug.cgi?id=20104

I'll try to remember to never try others' scripts using "import 
snapshot", like I'm already in the habit of never thinking about having 
a browser widget, or the ability to play a movie or audio file, or have 
windows layer in an expected fashion...

::sigh::

Missing Fraser and Peter, and their valiant efforts at nudging the 
product back toward something closer to feature parity across platforms...

Yeah, nostalgia...
