Damnit! missed this post. Very nice feature!

@ed95, How do you create a PIP to a clipboard (e.g. to allow me to email a friend some code to start a simple JUCE project)?
I mean, can I just Paste a modified version of the start of that code, to the source for any component?
/*******************************************************************************
The block below describes the properties of this PIP. A PIP is a short snippet
of code that can be read by the Projucer and used to generate a JUCE project.

 BEGIN_JUCE_PIP_METADATA

You’ll need to change the mainClass section of the metadata to name of the Component that you want to display and it will need to have a default constructor. Then you can either send the PIP file to someone and they can drag and drop in onto the Projucer to create a project, or you can paste the PIP file contents like I did above and they can open it in the Projucer by copying it to their clipboard and selecting File->New Project From Clipboard... (or cmd/ctrl + shift + N).

Yep, I’ll take a look at adding this.
