[Pharo-project] A few more ideas about preferences
It would be nice to have a message appear after package installation: 'A new preferences has been added , would you like to review them now' and if user answers yes - show him only those which is added. also, for unification - i think it is fine to treat an author settings (initials) as preference. Then if you submit any code - system could check if this preference is set and request it to be filled. -- Best regards, Igor Stasenko AKA sig.

I'm not sure it is a good idea to change something in package installation. Preferences have to remain as simple as possible. The preference tool can offer a way to view preferences by package.

yes , one can have also fonts, display depth, display color, display gradient in. So, what about Settings or Parameters as a package name instead of Preferences ? cheers alain

Its just a convenience measure. Say, if i just installed new package, i'd like to know if there any preferences i can play with.
Preferences have to remain as simple as possible. sure. But this is more about integration with Pharo as a consistent dev environment, which should show nice and friendly messages to user. You can keep preferences package clean, but make a separate one, like Pharo-Preferences-integration, where this stuff will live.
I don't know if there's exists a system-wide event, like 'new package just installed', then any who willing to hook into it could react on such event.

Yes, this would be nice to group/filter preferences by package.

don't see real difference..

ok Igor, I keep that in mind and will investigate on that point later.

it is only a detail, but, I see author initials as a setting not as a preference. (you say author settings...) Cheers alain

I'm pretty sure there is not, at least in Monticello. It would be a great application of the new standardization on Announcements Put it in MCVersionLoader >> load -- Matthew Fulmer -- http://mtfulmer.wordpress.com/
