A couple of random side-thoughts for Pharo 7. Would it be possible...
* to have a "diff" tab, for example to compare two strings side by side, perhaps highlighting and being able to jump to the differences.
* to somehow reference the parent pane, for example if the current pane shows a string element from an array, I can grab another string from the same array to diff against
* coming at it from the other way, perhaps an array [Items] tab could be multi-selected for elements to diff��

* it would be nice if you could right-click on a tab to get a menu item to open its implementation. Then in this case Stef might jump to the implementation of the [Raw], change the tab's name, remove the code skipping middle elements and in a few minutes have a new tab doing what he wants. ��
* perhaps the tab menu item could be called "Customize" and it automatically copies and renames the [Raw] tab implementation into the String class so its ready for editing.

Hi Stef,

Currently that's the default behaviour of the Raw view: it displays for collections only the first and the last 21 elements. The Items view however always should display all the elements of a collection.

The main problem with the Raw view in Pharo 5 is the speed. In Pharo 6 now the speed of the Raw view is greately improved so we could increase those limits. Still for now there should still be some limit for the Raw view. Ideally we should add a small widget, something like a paginator, for navigating through large and very large collections.

Cheers,
Andrei

Hi

I'm trying to debug citezen generation and I have to compare strings.
Now I think that the raw views (in Pharo 50) is not good because we cannot see all the items in raw format.
See the attachements. It jumps from 21 to 174 ...
and what I want to see is of course in the middle.

Is it me or there is something wrong there.
