Re: [Pharo-dev] Create window group for Playground

by kilon alios

personally I dont even understand why one would not want tabs, especially in such a heavy window orientated enviroment like Pharo. Sure if I better solution existed yes, but even in MacOS while mission control existed for quite some time (offers a bird eye view of opened windows) still Apple was forced to implement tabs even inside Finder. Tabs are actually a standard feature for all applications nowdays and is strange that Pharo has hidden it inside menus. I completely agree with you that drag and drop or at least some other easy to use solution would be ideal.

maybe it should just be enabled permanently? defaulting to showing a tab when only one window is present - just the same as you get with a web browser. I think this paradigm is common enough with web browsers today being able to drag/drop tabs is a common enough that this will be discoverable for most people. Perhaps a preference to turn it off as a backup for those that don't like it? btw, cheers -ben On Fri, Jan 30, 2015 at 8:48 PM, Tudor Girba <tudor(a)tudorgirba.com> wrote: > I know about the feature, but we did not yet find a proper solution for it. > > The current default solution does not make for a good user experience: I > have to click an obscure menu item just to make the window be a drop target > and I get no visual feedback of what can be dropped on it.

Hi, The philosophy in the GT team is not to remove things from the existing environment, but to start from scratch and add the things that fit. This is the only way to get to completely new solutions. This is one of those interesting ideas that just did not fit in the current form.

I know about the feature, but we did not yet find a proper solution for it. The current default solution does not make for a good user experience: I have to click an obscure menu item just to make the window be a drop target and I get no visual feedback of what can be dropped on it. The issue of many windows is a significant problem that deserves a closer attention. I am sure it will take a while, though.

It's still a regular window, so it's possible, the only difference is missing button for it, which according to Tudor was removed purposefully. http://forum.world.st/GT-Playground-Inspect-window-menu-tp4782020p4782044.h… On Fri, Jan 30, 2015 at 12:10 PM, stepharo <stepharo(a)free.fr> wrote: > > Le 30/1/15 11:20, kilon alios a Ã©crit : > >> Do you want to hear the irony , I only use Workspace to create a window >> group to act as a container for Playgrounds :D >> > D > > > > > >

I created an issue here https://pharo.fogbugz.com/f/cases/14829/Spec-MenuModel-submenu-not-working I also found the breaking commit https://github.com/pharo-project/pharo-core/commit/1c3c757366ba2cad8f367ee9… but Stef probably knows best what was going on there.
