Have you seen Doug Ways Whisker browser?

Yeah! Whisker's stacking idea was cool and it was really nice alternative to traditional Smalltalk browsers. I'm sure you can get it to run in an older Squeak image to see it in action.

The screenshots are very interesting to me, especially the type of information shown in the different trees.

Also note the Star Browser from the "old Squeak days" (TM) which was also nice. It allowed you to add classes, morphs, packages, objects, ... to the tree.

This allowed to use it as package navigator, class browser, inspector, diagram browser, ...

The main page has gone but you can find it in the wayback machine with screenshots from the VisualWorks port:

So you could group diagrams, packages, classes, ... in one place.

Thanks. This one is really interesting, because the way the menu is built in the Alt-Browser panes is exactly the same as shown in the Star Browser example. Now, if I could get the shortcuts to behave in the same way... (instance-based, tree selected-item customized keymaps is my target). Going from the existing Alt-Browser code to a Star-Browser reimplementation would be easy. (i.e. create a different view on each type of node in the tree). But not a complete class browser, please ! Oh well, only if you (a user), not me, really like it that way. However, I would consider far too heavy to have to built myself a complete tree of an existing system starting from an empty root; I find that package maintainers are doing a good job at it, and I want to reuse it. One more browser to keep in mind :-) Thierry -- Thierry Goubier CEA list Laboratoire des Fondations des Systèmes Temps Réel Embarqués 91191 Gif sur Yvette Cedex France Phone/Fax: +33 (0) 1 69 08 32 92 / 83 95
