Please review: FIleSystem displayString and printOn: to support better tweaking in playground and friends
Hi I did a first cut for FIleSystem displayString and printOn: to support better tweaking in playground and friends But I do not know if I'm happy. https://pharo.fogbugz.com/f/cases/18956/FileReference-printString-should-be-... Stef

IIUC #displayString, #storeString, et al. are well-known distinctions from other platforms, correct? Are we following the convention? Also, not to digress, but I've often wondered why we restrict tool representations to string and not text. Presumably, much more meaning could be communicated via styling... ----- Cheers, Sean -- View this message in context: http://forum.world.st/Please-review-FIleSystem-displayString-and-printOn-to-...

Just a note: We agreed that displayString is a bit too much tool specific to have only one generic selector. So, right now for GT we have gtDisplayString. Cheers, Doru
