do not confuse Nautilus and Spec. Nautilus is (or should be) defined using Spec. Spec is the framework for building UI. We are slowly rewriting all the tools based on spec while learning and improving Spec. Ideally we would like to be able to reuse a builder PAINTER (a tool to place widgets on the screen) and to generate Spec. Stef On Jun 22, 2012, at 8:14 AM, Hernán Morales Durand wrote:

Hi Hernán, Here are some pointers about Glamour: - Glamour is an engine for building browsers (not user interfaces, like Spec). From the goal point of view, it is similar to OmniBrowser. However, the concepts behind are different: Glamour can cover significantly more browser flows and presentations, and it offers a DSL. - Load it in Pharo 1.4 (this loads also several prerequisites): Gofer new squeaksource: 'Glamour'; package: 'ConfigurationOfGlamour'; load. ConfigurationOfGlamour loadDevelopment. - You can also load only the core by: (ConfigurationOfGlamour project version: 'default') load: #('Core' 'Morhic') - Browse the built-in examples: GLMBasicExamples open. - Read the chapter from The Moose Book: http://www.themoosebook.org/book/internals/glamour You can ask more questions about Glamour also on the Moose mailing list: http://www.moosetechnology.org/about/contact Cheers, Doru On 23 Jun 2012, at 07:09, Hernán Morales Durand wrote:

Hello :) This is a nice challenge :) Firstly, you have to know that the model behind Nautilus is really different that the one behind OB. Let's say nothing in common.

[...] Looking at the video, I think your best option if you do not want to use glamour is to build a custom browser using Spec. It does not seem like a lot of work, certainly since you already have the logic of the actions in place. The only thing that Spec does not do AFAIK is the dynamic adding of lists in the top pane.

Thanks for your answers Benjamin. After reading the chapter I should note the plugin architecture seems very promising, as you've said it, very different from OB. So to create my own browser should I subclass Nautilus? which hook methods should I check first? Some usability issues: When I do "Find class...", type Object and Ok, it takes some time to display the class on the browser. Maybe it would be nice to preload first N methods in the method list? (i'm thinking in performance when browsing large lists). When I bring the menu over a class, there is no "browse hierarchy" option, is this option missing on purpose?

You can found some doc here: http://rmod.lille.inria.fr/web/pier/software/Tools-Improvement/NautilusDocum...
For Pharo 1.4, I try to maintain it a bit, but my focus is on the integration of Nautilus in Pharo 2.0

Hello :)
This is a nice challenge :) Firstly, you have to know that the model behind Nautilus is really different that the one behind OB. Let's say nothing in common. On the other hand, the code pane modification can be made within an hour (maybe two if you are not confident with morphic, but it doesn't seems to be the case) using the plugin mecanism (Johan Fabry can testify ^^).
Ok, let us know when more Nautilus documentation is available.
Then, Nautilus is not cross platform, but we have developed Spec with the goal to use it for Nautilus, and Spec is(will be ^^) cross platform. So one day, Nautilus will be cross platform. Sadly, I will not be soon (I have to rewrite the whole ui).
thanks for the clarification and status update
About the command definition, I am not an OB expert, but I think that Command are used for menu entries. In Nautilus the menus definition are based on pragma, so any class can extend Nautilus menus.
Yes, commands in OB are used to define menu entries and their behavior.
In a nutshell, what I have seen in the video is doable in roughly a couple of hours :) If you decide to give a try to Nautilus, let me know, and I will be glad to help/answer question/provide pieces of code etc :)
Thanks for your reply, I will be in touch.

You should create your own plugin I guess :) In a plugin, you can access the UI, and put another morph instead of the text area, or whatever :) Have a look a MondrianPlugin, it shows a bit what you can do :)

cool, now is clearer to me the scope of plugins

I don't know other people, but I use it a lot to browse whole hierarchies. Hernán
