inspectorExtraAttributes

We found the following Trippy override to be useful, especially when debugging deep copies of large object structures. Do others find it generally useful enough to be added to the base?:

 

Object>>inspectorExtraAttributes

                "Subclasses may reimplement this to answer a sequence of

                DerivedAttribute or TextAttribute instances that should show up

                in the inspector in addition to named instance variables and

                indexed variables. See implementors for an example."

 

                ^Array with:

                                (Tools.Trippy.DerivedAttribute

                                                label: #identityHash << #dialogs >> 'identityHash'

                                                valueBlock: [self identityHash])

Here is an overview of the modern/preferred way to do this kind of thing:
