Why doesn't the OSX vm show the name of the running image?
Iâm wondering if there is a particular reason why the VM on OSX, just shows the name of the .app file and not the running image? Iâve downloaded the recent 3.0 vm, and used it to launch two images (I set it as the default app and double clicked on 2 different images) - and when you do a CMD-Tab, its a bit confusing because all you see are two apps that say âPharo 3.0â - so its hard to distinguish between them. It may be an OSX limitation - but I thought it was worth asking. I can create a fogbugz if anyone thinks its worthy. Tim

It would be nice for those icons to show the image name, but all the other applications I have open also don't show the names of their open documents/content. ???
Yes - I guess you are right⦠I suppose the actual difference is that you get 1 icon for something like Finder - and then you can do that wizzy thing where you press a key to show an overview of the different instances and they do show the name of the document. so maybe (and I doubt it would ever happen, but with infinite resource we would) - we could get it to show 1 icon, and let you CMD-` between them.
