Yes, I do not question the usefulness of pragmas for what they have been used so far. Primitives and version control related things. I oppose to use them in addition for menu definitions.
Hi Hannes, I agree with you. A new non-Smalltalk construct appears and we see that it starts to get used for lots of things where before we would have just used plain Smalltalk..
Can we stay with Smalltalk everywhere except where it's impossible or impractical to?
adding entries to the menu is not possible in a clean way.
I don't know about displaying the pictures, I just use the 'open' button. But, I do use the "services" function to add my own custom application functions to the file-list. Did you know about that or are you saying that it needs improvement..?

And that is why I am reluctant having these pragmas 'crawl' into menu definitions.
Now that's just silly, sorry. Nobody is questioning the utility of these guys, whatever we call them.
