I hadn't used Recover Changes for a while, but recently found that it had lost a lot of power. Particularly not being able to filter to show only the most recent updates. Its tedious to manually search for the latest version of several methods.
Also the middle button menu in the change list (which can also be used to import source files) has been reduced to just two items, rendering the tool much less powerful. A colleague and I were importing code from squeak the other day and were missing "select unchanged definitions", and others. Watching my colleague use the tool manually was painful. Someone should really put this functionality back. Look at the squeak tool for the most immediate reference. Look at VisualWorks for something more powerful still. Don't let it be said of Pharo: Don't it always seem to go That you don't know what you've got Til its gone They paved paradise And put up a parking lot ;-) _,,,^..^,,,_ (phone) Eliot

Also using the tool is quite a lot of pain, so if you want to recover your changes you have to do a lot of archaeology.
I've added several issues and marked most of them as '2 - Really Important', because I think they are (especially for students etc that like to break things), but maybe you don't want it for Pharo 5.
