GTSpotter on CatalogBrowser

Hi,

when previewing CatalogBrowser projects via GTSpotter, there's a lot of empty space in the preview window

​the result is that the data that I am actually interested in are cropped.

Also I think project's description should be available there.

And final question:

to my knowledge http://catalog.pharo.org/catalog/json is being updated only once a day, so there is not much point of downloading it and parsing it every time single time I open spotter.

Also I have to wait after typing something before the projects actually show up. So why not use a time-based cache/singleton?

Thanks,

Peter

Hi Peter,

 

Not a bug - more a feature request. I had no time lately to continue working on Spotter integration
for new Catalog Browser. As always we need more resources to work on it. If you like open

an issue for Pharo 5 on FogzBugz and (if possible) help/try to fix it.

 

Thanks

T.

Should this be reported to FogzBugz or upstream (Moose?)?

Well adding description/caching is trivial.

The Brick on the other hand may be more complex, and I don't know if Brick is officially part of Pharo, or is introduced from Glamour and thus should be fixed upstream.
