Hi Tim.

aPackage classTagForClass: aClass

Calypso shows more kind of children than just a package tags. And it can be extended. That's the reason why you don't have raw packageTag there.

Also in Pharo 6 new API was introduced to handle tags of classes and methods in similar way https://pharo.manuscript.com/f/cases/19341/New-class-and-method-tags-API.

Actually - I���ve realised that Calypso can give me the tag name from its context - (aToolContext lastSelectedClassGroup).

However it does highlight a very strange package/tag design. Are you not supposed to be easily able to derive RPacakgeTags?

It seems different than Pharo6 at least with Nautilus (vs Calypso) - as previously the Nautilus UI gave me the RPacakgeTag, and I could just work with that. Calypso doesn���t seem to give me the tag object, but if I have a known class and I want to know its RPackageTag I can���t see how you do it? It all seems rather messy���.

So am I really supposed to split the category name on ���-��� myself, and then select the correct RPackageTag?
