Block Libraries
Hello! This is just a quick suggestion. I think you would like it.
So I have an idea that is similar to the backpack. This would be like the backpack in the way that you can get blocks easily, but there is conveniences that make it better.
The idea is to have “libraries” of custom blocks that the user can make within the editor and export to a file such as “gravity.blocks”. It would import a bunch of custom blocks into the editor that the selected sprite can use. This can also make it so you can email blocks, and make it so a certain sprite can use the blocks instead of dragging each one out from the backpack.
There would be a separate tab (next to file and edit) that would say “blocks”. It would have two items, import and export. Export would have you select “define” blocks that you could export into a .blocks file, and import would have you import a .blocks file and it would automatically put all the custom blocks into the sprite.
I was thinking there would be a custom editor for the block libraries, but this in unnecessary.
If you like my idea, please say “support”. If you don't, say “no support”, and give reasons why. Thanks!

A sprite and its blocks can be exported and then imported.
Would this be like an option to combine an imported sprite with an existing sprite?

This would just be importing custom blocks. Right now, you can only import sprites, and you can't merge custom blocks to existing sprites, only through the backpack. And there's limited room in the backpack.

I really should put screenshots, but sadly, I do not know how to do that magic with the “Inspect Element”. I know HTML, but real website's code have too much tables and stuff, which I don't like XD A bit confusing… but interesting… *cogitating…*

If it is within the Scratch editor then you can't inspect element. You would have to mess around with screenshots in an image editor.I really should put screenshots, but sadly, I do not know how to do that magic with the “Inspect Element”.
