The mechanism is very simple… if you remove a tool and then use it, there will be a DNU.
(it should open instead window and tell that no tool is installed)

In fact, it's worse: it DNUs even if you still have some tools installed, just because you unregistered one of them.

i.e. With AltBrowser installed, you have four browsers in your image: SystemBrowser, Nautilus, PackageTreeNautilus, and AltBrowser. If you unregister AltBrowser, you have a DNU, even if you have the three others still available.

Yes, as they are there but not registered. ToolRegistry just knows about the *last* tool registered. If you unregister that, there is none
(this is why ToolRegistry needs to be extended to remember all and just have the last be the default)

I disagree. Just force an interactive choice feels a lot better to me (and far simpler). Otherwise you'll see people jokeying for order for their tool, and anyway you have to provide a user setting.

A cool one: open the settings browser at the right place, instead of creating an ad-hoc dialog. Reuse code + GUI familiarity + less lines of code.
There is apparently some magic in the world menu to trigger a user-driven choice among existing tools, but I don't know how to trigger that.


No, the only thing it does is to execute all the methods (in a some un-defined order). The last tool’s #registerToolsOn: then will be the one
that ToolRegistry knows about.

There is somewhere a user-query that you can trigger under some circumstances.

But I could not find it.

I'll have a look. I noticed that unloading AltBrowser was a very nice way to end up with a dead Pharo image :(

Remember, AltBrowser is clearly the best, so I won't provide a way back to the old ways :):):)
