Hi,

Thanks for integrating :)

If settings are just in the Settings Browser very few people will go there and enable them. 
(Even if I use Pharo a lot I'm still not aware of most settings that I can set in the Settings Browser)
Also always showing pop-ups to tell you that you can share enable sending of usage data is kind of annoying. 
Adding a settings button in the toolbar of spotter seemed like a good compromised. 

Agree/disagree? :)

disagree :)
here the reason: everybody can think their settings deserve better exposition, and then add a way to change the L&F to add a settings option. 
that will break inner coherence of Pharo. 
and we need to think *all tools* in pharo as one unique IDE��� it has to be coherent. 
your little cog  breaks coherence. 

I admit we need to do a pass on Settings browser to group better, explain better and remove unnecessary stuff��� maybe on Pharo5 we will find the time. 

In the mean time, even without this argument (which I believe is already enough): giving such relevance to an option you will use just once is not good GUI design, sorry :)

Esteban


Cheers,
Andrei

Hi,

So��� I integrated latest GTools.
I did it, but I disagree with the relevance the settings of GSpotter have now��� I understand you want to collect usage, etc��� but settings should be in settings panel, not ���always on sight���.

cheers,
Esteban
