Concerning the "What to show" question, we could simply display nothing and accept nothing if multiple methods are selected. Or just display something like "3 methods selected" in the code pane, and maybe a list of links to every single method.

Don't forget that a Browser's code pane already has a few different meanings, such as method source code, class definition, class comment, class hierarchy, method categories, reorganization, ... :-)


I like the proposal for MCOperationsBrowser, too. At the moment, you can only select nothing and then press <cmd>i, that could be considered a workaround :D

Betreff: Re: [squeak-dev] [Newbies] Morphic multiple select methods for move to method category

A feature request:
Multi line selection in MCSaveVersionDialog would be really nice.
I often want to Ignore a lot of changed methods to save a version.
It would be nice to select a several lines at a time to Ignore.

Best,
Karl

But the question is interesting. Why don't we support this? If multiple methods are selected, we could either display the source of the latest selected one, or simply display nothing in the contents field. For refactoring operations, I would consider multi-selection in browsers a quite useful feature.

We could also use multi-selection to perform batch-like menu operations on them ... "Toggle break on entry for all", "File out all", "Remove all" etc.

Best,
Christoph

Hi there.

Well, the lists in Squeak's System Brower does not support multi-selection.

However, you can click on "reorganize" to do that task on the text level:

[cid:171b0f9440acb971f161]
The main text field will show all message categories and their elements for you to change. After that, accecpt the changes with CMD+S:

Hi Folks,

When I have a bunch of methods that I want to categorize in a new method
category, I have not been able to figure out how to move them all at once.
The idiom I am used to is to press ALT , or CTL while clicking, highlight
each one I want to move and them drag and drop from BAR to FOO


Method Cateogry FOO
(empty)

Method Category BAR
method A
method B
method C
method D

thx in advance
