Don't know how to make traits visible

I believe choosing Open, Image Browser goes to direct to Omni.

The code to open is:

OBSystemBrowser open

See class side for other variants.

What I would love is a way to stay in Omni. Lots of tools still open non-Omni tools.

So...where is Omnibrowser?

I have vanilla Squeak 3.9 and a bunch of Squeak-devs that say it's installed. How do I open one? It's not the default, is it?

And how do I make traits visible?

    Thanks!

Well, Omni is a framework for writing browser like tools. So there is an Omni System Browser and an Omni Debugger and an Omni Process Browser.

None of them tell the end user that they were written with Omni. If you inspect the morph, look at its model, it is an OBSystemBrowser.

Just learned that the menu in the title bar of the system tools has a Choose new default browser option.

The Omni System Browser does have the code to generate accessors. It is in the command ORCmdAccessorInstVarRefactoring. I don't see how to activate it in the menus. I believe it is a bug. (I know I was using this refactoring in the last month via a menu).

I did see the method cmdInstVarRefactroings (note the misspelling). It doesn't seem like it is sent in my image.

So this thing called "System Browser" is the OmniBrowser? Wow, I don't see any indication of that anywhere, even if I inspect the morph!

Can the OmniBrowser create accessors? I don't see any way to do so (other than manually, of course). _______________________________________________ Beginners mailing list Beginners@lists.squeakfoundation.org http://lists.squeakfoundation.org/mailman/listinfo/beginners

So, we need a patch?

Well, the misspelling is of course a mistake of mine. OB sends all the messages starting with #cmd to collect possible commands for menus. You don't see any senders because evaluation is done trough reflection (#allSelectors, #perform:).

OK, I see refactorings all over now.

To create an accessor, click the variables button in the Omni System Browser.

From the variables window right-click on a variable name and choose

"accessors for instvar".

"Protect instvar" is another refactoring that will create accessors and rewrite any direct variable access to boot.

But I think we are having trouble finding where on the GUI the reflection tools are.

I know I used to see them when I right-clicked on a instance variable.

Right now, I can't find any of the refactorings in the GUI.
