instance Var Class Probe problem(VW7.4)

I tried to add a class probe to watch all access of in instance
variable by:

Select the"On Instance Variable access..." subitem of the "Add Class
Probe" item in the Class menu of the browser in VW 7.4. Use the
resulting window to select the instance variable.

However non of the settings have any affect. I can set probes in
individual methods to watch inst vars & can set class probes on
messages. I tried this in a clean image to make sure I had not broken
my image somehow.

Is this a know problem? There did not seem to be anything in the docs
indicating I had to do something special.

In that window you have to select all the methods it shows for that
instance variable, and then press Done. It would be nice if all the
methods were selected by default, since I too had that problem when I
tried to use this the first time.

Steve

I agree with you. However, Vassili will have the final say
about tool changes.

If you want to patch your image, the patch is to add

panelList selectAll.

at the end of every #updateList method in the subclasses
of PDPInstrumenterGUIModel.
