VisualGST news

Hi everybody,

Here are some news about VisualGST. There is a preliminary support for a
debugger - I don't catch exception at this time - you can step, step into
(won't work with a block), and continue to the end, inside the debugger you
can see the stack values and the values of the local variables. You can
execute code in a browser (do-it, print-it, ...).

Cheers,
Gwenael

I like the new layout. Saves me an extra click on GUI startup :-)

Two things:

- Start VisualGST, then switch to the "Hierarchy" tab immediately.
  It is empty ...
  Switching back to "Class" and selecting Object, I realise that
  Hierarchy shows the super- and subclasses of the class selected
  there. However, click on Behavior in Class, switch to Hierarchy,
  Object is selected, switch back to Class, Object is selected.

- Can I get a flat, alphabetic list of all classes?
  Pretty please with strawberries and whipped cream?

Thanks,
s.

Hi Stefan,just my 2ct on your request...

> - Can I get a flat, alphabetic list of all classes?

I think (as one who currently don't use imports) the Namespace is a
realy important thing in the identification of a class (and the
namespace and the name of the class builds it identifier).

If I search for a class-name, I always use the Implementor tool to find
it. (And I'm lazy, I don't want to scroll the list, 'till I eventually
find it.) (and beside of that, the result-list of the implementor is a
flat, alphabetic list...)

Best regards,
Joachim.

My memory is not good enough to keep track of namespaces.

If I'm looking for Behavior, I'd like to find it under B
and not under Smalltalk.

I don't dispute that all approaches to listing the classes
have their uses, I just wanted to point to the one that
I am missing .-)
