FileList >>viewContentsInWorkspace
"View the contents of my selected file in a new workspace"
| aString aFileStream aName |
aString := (aFileStream := directory readOnlyFileNamed: self fullName) setConverterForCode contentsOfEntireFile.
aName := aFileStream localName.
aFileStream close.
UIManager default edit: aString withSqueakLineEndings label: 'Workspace from ', aName
maybe its the OCD in me, but that verbiage preceding the file name at the top of a workspace is redundant and annoying.
1. redundant--it is at the top of a Workspace.
2. the infinitely expanding title ala Worspace from Workspace from Worspace from Workspace from Foo.txt
3. I have to edit each title upon file in. see OCD above.
A simple change to the method:
FileList >> viewContentsInWorkspace
"View the contents of my selected file in a new workspace"
| aString aFileStream aName |
aString := (aFileStream := directory readOnlyFileNamed: self fullName) setConverterForCode contentsOfEntireFile.
aName := aFileStream localName.
aFileStream close.
UIManager default edit: aString withSqueakLineEndings label: aName
eradicates the OCD nightmare
cheers,
tty
