FIXED: Unable to create or delete items in Snippets panel

Hi,

I'm experiencing an issue with **Text Clips / Snippets** in **RJ TextEd 16.60 (64-bit)** on **Windows 11**.

When I right-click inside the **Snippets** panel, the context menu shows the options **New Folder** and **New Item** (they are enabled, not grayed out). However, when I click either option, nothing happens. No dialog is displayed, no new folder or item is created, and no error message is shown.

One thing that seems inconsistent is that the **New Folder** option in the toolbar/menu (icons at the top of the panel) is grayed out, while the same option is available and enabled in the context menu. Despite being enabled in the context menu, it still does not perform any action when selected.

Some additional information:

* The Snippets panel is populated correctly and existing snippets are displayed.
* I found the configuration files under:
`C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\RJ TextEd\Data\Clips`
* `Clips.xml` only contains `<clips2xml/>`.
* `Snippets.xml` contains the snippets tree and is loaded correctly by the application.
* If I manually edit `Snippets.xml`, the changes are reflected in RJ TextEd after restarting the application.

Because of this, it seems that RJ TextEd can read the snippets file correctly, but the UI actions for creating, deleting, or modifying items are not working properly.

Has anyone experienced this issue before, or is there a known fix?

Thanks.

I've made the following changes in the next release (v16.62).

Text clips/snippets/abbreviation
Made some changes and improvements inside the text clips panel.

- The snippets folder is now unlocked for editing. You can add, rearrange and remove items as with normal text clips.

- Context menu items are now properly enabled/disabled.

- Fixed some issues while testing.
