Question regarding object inspection..

Rick Flower
Hi all..

I recently reloaded all of my software from my vanilla 7.4nc image..
I've updated a bunch of packages that I didn't have before including the
updated browser, etc.

Anyway, my question is the following.. When I inspect an object in my
updated image, usually (~95% of the time), I seem to get a rather
plain-jane sort of inspector that doesn't have anything fancy on it.. It
only shows individual instance variables and not much else.  For the
other 5% of so, it gives a multi-paned window that can list not only the
instance variables + values, but also show any methods the class has and
other things too if I recall.. Anyway, since I'm now getting the simple
style interface, is there something I need to load or turn-on to get the
multi-paned version or ??

Many thanks in advance..

-- Rick

Hello,

I am not sure about the reason of this but when 'Inspect' choice in
some menus is clicked when shift key is down, basic inspector is
opened instead of the full one...

If this is your case and you don't like it (as I do), get rid of all
#basicInspect references and especially those that are called when
#shiftDown is true.

Ohh.. Ahh.. You hit the nail on the head.. I frequently use two
different versions of VW for my home development -- one uses the
Linux X11 version with my Display set to point to my laptop (and older
Apple Titanium machine) and using it usually requires (or perhaps I'm
just accustomed to doing this) me to press the CTRL-open-apple keypair
to see the inspect menu..  This is different (if I recall) than what I
do if I'm running the native OS-X version of the VM on my laptop
directly -- it only needs the CTRL button pressed down to get the
inspect button.. I guess I hadn't bothered to read that there were two
types of inspectors -- basic and not-so-basic.. I'll try this out..
Thanks again!
