Fwd: Morph menu entries

Could someone please explain what the "World contents" menu obtained by right-clicking on the background is all about? (I normally left-click to obtain the "World" menu.) Why are there all those morphs listed? And is this potentially a problem?

Thanks.

Hey Richard,

I’m still learning Pharo, so I don’t know what this means, but when I right-click on the desktop I see a long list of StringMorph entries.

Later I’ll try starting with a new image. Is there a more recent JRMPC file-out you’d like me to use?

Re: Fwd: Morph menu entries

I guess its a carry over from Squeak and maybe Scratch which have more focus on interactive media direct interaction than Pharo.

Personally I never use it and consider it too prominent, and think sinking it one level to a World Menu Item would be nice.

What would be the arguments against doing that?

An alternative could be having it as a Task Bar menu item.
