Re: [Pharo-project] feedback
I read Stef comment before trying it out. I agree with Stef. Few additional comments: - When I develop an application, which pane should be the default one? Package or Group? Group I feel. Maybe a different ordering will make this clearer. Group, Hierarchy, Packages. - I feel the word Group a bit misleading. It does not say much actually, especially since I am intended to use it all the time. No better name to propose although. - Going from Group to hierarchy, and hierarchy -> Group does not preserve the selection. This is a crucial point in my opinion. - I feel the browser is a bit slower than before Good job! Cheers, Alexandre On 12 Jul 2009, at 18:42, stephane ducasse wrote:

could you name it in the menu
OB Package Browser and not AdaptorBrowere
Apparently I can get a space in the in the working set

here is some feedback
I would not hardcode - working set - because you can have multiple ones -> you have that already with group (a working set is just a group) so I would not make any distinction (just stress the current one may be with a star or bold).
From a vocabulary standpoint I would use smart groups everywhere (it fits the button labeling)
I'm not sure that I would make a distinction between selected by hand and recently modified. there are the same: create a focus. Here is what I propose
- the recently modified should go to the current smart group. - I can select an item and move to current smart group or drag it to the group I want - I can select a group and mark it as current. - I can delete a smart group - then you have the results and this is ok (cannot be current), - then when I create a new smart group I must give it a name (so no --working sets --)

yeah, I agree. What about 'working set'? 'active set'? 'active pkgs'?

ok, will fix this.

hm. Doing what exactly is slower? Working with the package view should actually be a bit faster now. I'm not aware of anything that could have become slower. Cheers, David

not packages for sure working set is good

'Working set' is intuitive.

Let me know, I will be glad to test.

This is more a general feeling. I will try to be more precise. Another thing: When I right-click on a package in the 'Packages' pane, I have access to the command Various/Add to SmartGroup. Its effect is to add the selected package in the 'working set'. Useful, but maybe the name can be changed? By the way, this command is extremely slow. Cheers, Alexandre
