Hi Marcel,

What would be the answer to your question after seeing this:

[cid:image006.png@01D94856.680EAD80]

Ok, I can see the pattern now :) However, it’s a bit unexpected, one needs to know something about the packages (I still haven’t studied it yet thoroughly), and for a beginner, I’m afraid, it’s confusing. Otherwise I thinks this browser is a huge improvement, thanks! (finally all the extensions categories nicely out of sight) Best,

Hi Jaromir --

Thanks for sharing your first impressions!! :-)

Subconsciously I looked for the prefs in the Browsing department but they are in Morphic and Tools.

I just added the "Browsing" tag as well.

What is the purpose of showBlankClassIcons pref? Vertical alignment? [...]

Yes and no. More like for providing a compact view for most class trees. It's a trade-off. I observed that most categories do not have both classes with and without icon:

Hi Marcel,

To me: amazing!

A few questions:

What is the purpose of showBlankClassIcons pref? Vertical alignment? The tree looks to me as if something's not right: how about to place a horizontal line extending the tree lines instead of an empty space?

Why are some Packages greyed out and not showing any classes? E.g. Chronology, HelpSystem, Toolbuilder... They only show classes when clicking on the subnode items (Core, Tests...). The greying out is actually not visible in the default Squeak theme. I'm on a fresh trunk image.

Hi all --

Here is a slightly alternative version of Squeak's default browser. It uses tree widgets for the first three panes, that is, system/class categories, classes, message categories.

Menus, filters, drag/drop, updates etc. should all work as in the traditional "Browser" browser.

SystemBrowser default: TreeBrowser. SystemBrowser default: Browser.

Please report issues. I plan to merge this soon.

Note that there are 3 preferences: TreeBrowser showAllClassesInPackage TreeBrowser showBlankClassIcons TreeBrowser showEmptyPackages

[cid:image005.png@01D947A7.6C5DD6E0]

Yes, there is a slim integration with PackageInfo and Monticello packages.

Best, Marcel

Hi Marcel,

what about putting it in parentheses instead? "(Chronology)"?

Is the greying out and showing empty classes list supposed to convey some information? To whom? For me it would make no difference if Chronology simply listed all the classes under the two underlying packages (I can’t derive any useful info from the fact Chronology is not a package but rather a “folder” containing two packages, which is probably true for most beginners too). Until now I haven’t noticed any difference anyway. However, if experienced users need this hint then parentheses are better than nothing :)

Looking at Etoys complicated structure it just brings more confusion without knowing what it’s supposed to mean.

Best, Jaromir

Hi Jaromir --

How about a folder icon instead of the grey-out or parentheses? That shouldn’t confuse anyone much :)

Hmm... the entire metaphor here is "folders & files". Any "folder" can also have "files" or other "folders". "folders-only" folders are nothing too special in this regard. :-)

Given that users expect categories to be non-empty if existent, I think it makes sense to denote such empty categories. Otherwise, users get confused why a certain "category" has no classes or methods.

I like it so far.

I was about to say we need to update the info in the HelpBrowser to explain the meanings of the '*' and italicisation etc... and then I noticed that we don't *have* any info on the main browser in the Help. Oops.

I know that I am late to the party in responding to this, but I want to say that I like the TreeBrowser a *lot* and I'm happy to see it in the update stream in Tools-mt.1198.mcz.

This packs a lot of useful information into the browser in an intuitive way, and it requires almost no additional screen real estate to do so.

The class comment is excellent, thanks also for that.

Hi Chris --

Thanks for the feedback! :-)

The issue is keyboard navigation:  I can navigate with letters in the Explorer, but not the SystemBrowser.  It does the filtering use case, but it should also navigate to the best-matching one (e.g., prioritizing front-match first, then substring match), without my having to use the arrows.

Hmm... I see what I can do. We cannot easily re-order filter-results like we do in plain lists ... and there is this trade-off between filter-modes and keeping parents visible etc... Hmm...

So, you want to hit a letter and immediately select the first item that *begins with* that letter if possible? Hmm... currently, it should just be "select first match" without taking care of beginsWith-vs-includes priority... hmm....

I will figure something out! :-)

Hi Marcel,

Cool, thanks. It's better, but I didn't mean to suggest (and for you to feel constrained by) the idea that the order needs to change at all (as it does in flat lists). Simply the selection moved to the best one, even if it's not at the top. And, maybe that behavior for flat lists should be reconsidered, too, rather than changing their perceived order, but that's something separate..

To test this, I selected "Morphic | Text Support" in the left pane, then in the 2nd pane, the TextAnchor class. There are multiple classes in that list with the string "Edit" in them, but the one at the top, "Editor" is the one I want to navigate to by typing "edit" on the keyboard. Instead, it's selecting one that matches only on a substring.

I also got a "Subscript out of bounds" when I tried typing "str" in that same list.

Apologies, I didn't mean to open a can of worms! :) I think it's close, hopefully a solution will be easy.

Best, Chris

No worries, it's an especially complex requirement in a hierarchy situation, which makes the implementation even moreso. You've got it in a really good state as it is. I just tested it some more, and I might eventually still look for and propose an easy hack to achieve hierarchical navigation from the touch typist's "home row". Hm, perhaps Space-bar expand/collapse might do it..
