PoolDictionary Browser

Ian Bartholomew-18
Given the choice between Christmas shopping (there's plenty of time left
yet!) and spending some time refreshing my Dolphin skills (!) I chose
the latter and, following on from the recent thread, have come up with a
specialised browser for PoolDictionaries.

The zipped package file is just over 6K and can be found at

http://www.idb.me.uk/files/pcdbrowser.zip

One installed it add a new entry, called PoolDictionary Browser, in the
_Additional_ Tools folder and menus.

When run you can use it to add, package, delete, file in and file out
PCDs from your Smalltalk image.  After selecting one PCD you can add,
edit and delete items (key->value pairs) from that PCD. The Dialog for
entering/editing items only allows Strings for keys and makes sure the
value field is set to a valid expression before allowing the Dialog to
be closed.

NB This is really a stand alone browser and is not fully linked into the
rest of the Dolphin environment.  Some editing changes made to a PCD
outside of the browser (should you feel the need) will not be reflected
in any open browsers contents unless a refresh is performed.

Comments, suggestions and bug reports welcome.  I may integrate this
into to my goodies packages at a later date.

Thanks, Ian.  I'll give it a whirl!  (saves me from having to do my
Christmas shopping!)
