I would love to be able to drag a snippet and drop it into the filter I'm working on in the editor, without having to close the editor, open the snippet, copy the nodes needed, close the editor again, open my filter back up, and paste the snippet nodes in.

Am I doing something wrong? Is there an easier way?

There definitely should be an easier way to add snippets to a filter. My suggestion would just be to integrate the filter browser directly in the editor.

this was requested way back and goes along with a sort of function library for use in FF, that library being comprised of imported snippets and other filters. it also goes hand in hand with that thing of compressing large routines down into a single component and being able to call that component up from the filter.

i like uber's method, too. having access to other filters from within another filter is a great idea.

i could also see having more than one editor open at a time for quick copy/paste operations. tabbed editor windows smile:)
