What is the simplest way to add an action to the menu for the classes column in OmniBrowser?
Thanks, Chad

There isn't a simple way at the moment. You'd have to modify OBClassNode>>actions to make it include your new action in the array. This isn't that hard, but it means you have to use a fork of OB, or get your action added to the mainline version.
I'm working on fixing this problem; the next version of OB will have a much more extensible, services-like architecture.

do you imply based on services :) ? Because it would be nice if we could remove abstractions that are duplicated. stef

No, not based on the services used in 3.9. I tried doing that, but I found that I couldn't implement services that would work properly regardless of the metagraph used by the browser. Then I tried extending services, but the complexity got out of hand pretty quickly. So I ended up creating a simple OmniBrowser-specific version of services, which will be much easier to deal with. I'm now converting the existing actions into OB services.

so may be services could then be improved. I mean having two clients is always better for stressing the system. Could you give some feedback to romain?

Too bad you want to keep compatibility with 3.8 because pragmas were a very good solution (implemented with Alexandre Bergel in OB and it just worked). Keep working Colin, OB is very good.

Colin, where do you have your working repository?

Actually, this is the old repository. I've left it up so that SqueakMap will continue to work, but I should probably take it down and update SM.
The repository is now here:
Sorry for the confusion.

Yeah, this is what I suspected. The other repository was too quiet to be the current one ;-)
