Slice in Pharo60Inbox https://pharo.fogbugz.com/f/cases/19798/Make-Spotter-look-for-open-windows I got it working properly now. [image: Inline image 1] But how is one to package a Spotter extension in a given package without having to touch GTSpotter extensions core? This is indeed easy to understand once gone through the motions and opens a lot of doors for open data exploration with custom spotters. Question: how can I wire several spotters together?

I made a little experiment to get the windows listed in spotter.

I have still an issue with the activation and some weird windows listed but should be able to give you just that in a couple hours.
This is a good opportunity for me to jump into spotter extensions, thx for the nudge :-)

You can see the downward spiral here.
So apart from more discipline is managing the number of windows I have open a passing idea is that for if an existing code window is open, Spotter brings that to the front rather than opening another window. Optionally, if that code window is dirty, as well as bringing it to the front a fresh code window be opened as well, so that the two are immediately comparable.
