Protocol selection erratic behaviour

When creating a method in the debugger,

when the select protocol pop up window appears,

sometimes it finds the protocol we want (getter)

and sometimes it doesn't and we have to type it all

and add it as if it was new.

Is this something normal and my expectations are off?

Or is this a bug?

I would say a missing feature: we should hook the automatic
categorised there to suggest a possible category.

Let me see if I understand what you are saying.

The category "setter" exists, but it's an automatically generated one (as well as others, I suppose).

So it doesn't appear in the protocol selection window, because that window only lists protocols created manually.

Is that what you where saying?

There is a little utils in nautilus that propose "good protocol" and we
should brigde the widget to us it.
Now I'm resuurrecting a little project that let us compose rule to
define how methods should be categorized.

The idea is to
agree on the main categories
recategorize all the packages with it
use it for interactive sesssion too.

Is there a Case for this?
