by Andrei Chis Nov. 10, 2014

Hi all, In order to improve object inspectors we are doing a survey. We want to know whether several features are important to you or not when trying to understand objects. This is a very short survey and should't take you more than 10 minutes to complete. Please take this time to participate. Here is the link to the survey: http://goo.gl/forms/xKPxqLxJJv Cheers, Andrei

edit values in GTInspector
by Christophe Demarey Nov. 9, 2014

Hi, Is it planned to add the possibility to edit instances variables of an object directly from the inspector. I mean without evaluating code, just by clicking on the value and update it? Regards, Christophe.

Visit/accept method naming philosophy
by Ben Coman Nov. 8, 2014

Nov. 8, 2014

This is a general query and something I've wondered several times before in different situations, but I use OSWindow as an example since that is what I happen to be looking at this time. For curiosity I was having a poke around OSWindow and seeing OSWindowMorphicEventHandler>>handleEvent: morphicEvent := anEvent accept: self. I wanted to view the code that could invoke, so I used <cmd-M> on #accept: to get the implementors, which lists 116 items, many of which are unrelated. Now its not toooo hard to "guess" which implementations are related, but it would be nicer to guess less. Would it be a reasonable philosophy to distinguish each package's #accept: method by appending the expect object type, like this... ? OSWindowMorphicEventHandler>>handleEvent: morphicEvent := anEvent acceptOSEventHandler: self. IRVisitor>>visitNode: elem ^ elem acceptIRVisitor: self ParseNodeVisitor>>visitBlockNode: aBlockNode aBlockNode statements do: [:statement | statement acceptParseNode: self] Or does such a convention constrain too much how you can extend a visitor pattern? cheers -ben

This one smells funny to me...

playground history
by Christophe Demarey Nov. 7, 2014

Nov. 7, 2014

In the latest Pharo4 (at least), the history of the text written in the Playground has gone! There is a nice publish icon but no way to get the history. Do I miss something or was it really removed? The history is very useful and I would like to get it back. Thanks, Christophe.
