how am i supposed to interpret the fact that nothing happens?

and i am supposed to discover this how?

two feature requests to help new pharo users:
show comments by default.
add support for groups in the configuration browser so they can be selected and
loaded right there.

greetings, martin.

Re: discoverability: (was: how to install all of ZincHTTPComponents?)

Sorry to be blunt but:

(1) you have to learn a bit about Metacello configurations (as a user)
(2) you should have read the class comment

Extending the configuration browser is a good idea, but it is work (and I am not sure configurations can be introspected enough, have enough meta data. that is probably why it is not there).
