Red Exclamation in Nautilus?
Guys - it's been a while since I've used Pharo, and in 3.0 its come along with leaps and bounds. But I'm struggling to know what many things mean, and what the UI is telling me? Is it written up somewhere? I also quite quickly seemed to get into troubles with the new Nautilus browser where it gives me walkbacks and won't let me select things. I've started again with a new image and am trying again to do some simple things - and see if I can come up with the use cases. As a starting point - I've just created a new class, with a new Category name and the class has a red exclamation mark next to it. What does that mean? Also what is the difference between Add Class, and Add full Class in the context menu? I ended up just typing over the definition of an existing class as there is no flyover help for either of these to know what it does?

Hi Tim The exclamation mark marks a class that does not have a comment. Cheers Ricky On Wed, Jul 9, 2014 at 5:47 PM, Tim Mackinnon <tamackinnon@gmail.com> wrote:

Hi Tim, just a quick response to one of your questions: if a class has a red ! in front of it, it means that there is no class comment. On Jul 9, 2014, at 11:47 AM, Tim Mackinnon <tamackinnon@gmail.com> wrote:

Hi, the exclamation mark means that your class has no class comment. You have to edit your comment class to switch the exclamation mark to the normal class icon (or morph icon, exception icon, etc. which that represent your class). For the difference between "Add Class" and "Add full Class", apparently it seems to be a bug, because the behavior of the two options is the same (simply add a new class yo your package). Moreover "add Full Class" is not in the contextual menu on Pharo 4. *Baptiste QUIDÃ* *Ãtudiant ingénieur* *Polytech LilleDépartement Informatique et Statistique(+33)6 21 69 20 09* 2014-07-09 17:47 GMT+02:00 Tim Mackinnon <tamackinnon@gmail.com>:

I think the original idea was to show a template with trait and poolDictionary⦠which might be good to have. But I am not sure⦠so in Pharo4 I for now removed that duplication. We should back port that. Marcus
Thank you everyone - I shall continue to explore. In fact my idea was to create a Help book to document some of this stuff. As the first place I looked was in World | Help - which told me a about all kinds of other things, but not some of the basics. It seemed like it would be easy to add a CustomHelp subclass with a few pages documenting some of this stuff. And I would add a page each time I asked you guys a question or discovered something new.
