Adding a serialize menu item?

Hi guys,

Frequently I need to serialize contents from an inspector/explorer for later work or because image cannot work with big data sets.

Do you find yourself doing this from an inspector?

FLSerializer serialize: self toFileNamed: 'MyBigArrayOrString.FL'

Is there a reason for not having a "Serialize" menu entry in the Raw palette?

On the other side, from the File Browser a "Materialize" could be added for .FL files.

What do you think?

Cheers,

Hernán

Good idea.

I think this already exists, but the extension should be .fuel (just .FL is to simple).

Sure. And as you said, I would serialize the contents (the object being inspected) instead of the inspector. Because the inspector may reach UI elements and lots of stuff. Or... serialize the inspector, but be sure to use Fuel provided hooks to cut the graph to be traversed that you know that it may bring lot of unneeded stuff.

Thanks Hernán.

Just for completeness: theres Object>>serializeToFileNamed: as a “shorthand”.

Cheers,

Max
