Using Iceberg to edit regular text files ?

Is it possible to use Iceberg to edit regular text files directly in Pharo ?

Specifically I would like to be able to edit README.md and similar files. Especially when using a all-in-one, the repo on file becomes quite hidden, and the whole idea is to hide the command line anyway, so it feels as if that should have to be possible.

Maybe just open a File Browser on the right directory ?

PS: I also had the impression that class comment changes did not show up in the diff browser.

right now, yes.
I want to add the possibility to edit/commit regular files from image but is not my priority now (it will arrive, one moment of this year).

iceberg uses old diff mechanism from monticello.
it *should* be there, but there may be a bug around…

But is that an action you can do from Iceberg, like click a button or some menu item ? Did I miss it ?

Will Iceberg just pick the repo source files and skip the other resources when committing ?

It does pull all files in, and I lost one commit because it got overwritten (I edited the README.md in the web browser and it got lost after I committed some code).

no, I meant: right now yes, it is not possible :)

so far, it foes a “full repository commit”.

yep. because is like a file export.
of course, all that can be improved :)
