Accessor creation for multiple ivars

When creating a class with three or more instance variables

Object subclass: #Foo
instanceVariableNames: 'one two three'
classVariableNames: ''
category: 'Bar'

and choosing "Refactoring" -> "Inst var Recfactoring" -> "Accessors"
from the class in Nautilus one can only select a single ivar to
generate the accessor methods.

Accessor creation can only be done one by one - which is a time killer
when you have multiple ivars.

Is this by intention or a bug? Maybe there is another way to generate them
that I miss?

Thx

Aaarghh ... that was just too easy. Nonetheless it is confusing that
both have the same result but different way of doing it. Any usability
engineers among us?

At least I was not the only one who did not see the other menu ;)

Worst is that I got to that menu at one point but completely forgot about it..

The refactoring menu + code rewriting features are in need of some love :-)
