Hi Johan,

Vanessa, a student from the DCC, added some unit tests for Merlin. Have you checked them?

Cheers,
Alexandre

Hello johan,

Maybe this part of merlin (change dynamically a wizard) looks a bit 'hacky', but this is how I would do:

=> send a callback on the part used to retreive the filename (as parameter of this callback, you will have the selected fileName 'calback: [:filename | ... ]').

=> Inside this callback you should then be able to make the computation you want about the filename and create a new pane (with the wanted checkBoxes), and add it to the wizard (addPane:).

=> I guess you can do the same in the second pane: Having a callback for each checkbox, so that if the user select one, a new pane is created and added.

Does it answer to your question ?
