Hi Christoph,

I think that this clickable link is a compromise between printString and storeString. For mouse navigation, you can always choose "inspect it" from the context menu on that text selection. ;-) I also found the link color annyoing for simple literals.

> Also consider this snippet where the print-link does not exist for an MCVersionName

Looks fine. ^__^ I am certain that we will collect more feedback on this feature during the next weeks and months. Let's refine it then.

Best,
Marcel

Hi Marcel, it's great that you have found a solution to this idea! :-)

Is this necessary? I know that an inspector for a literal object like these does not make great sense, but this just feels like an unnecessary heuristic and limitation for me and adds complexity. I would like to be able to open an inspector always. Also consider this snippet where the print-link does not exist for an MCVersionName: :-)

MCRepository inbox allFileNames first

Unfortunately, no, mine just timed out while preparing the image. Also, my server images for @SqueakSmalltalkBot were interrupted. I'd opt for keeping preamble/postscript content in the update stream strictly non-interactive. :-)

Best,
Christoph

Hi all!

It is now in Trunk. You can opt-out via the preference browser. Still, you will be asked the first time when you update your image. CI scripts will default to "true".

Best,
Marcel

Just another idea (I seem to have too many of them :D): Some kind of UnderlyingObjectAttribute (with a better name, of course) an editor can check the selection before compiling it when inspectIt/exploreIt is pressed?

Example 1: ('2 + 3' asText) -> User presses inspectIt -> Editor checks for UnderylingObjectAttribute -> none found, so the string is compilaed as usual.
Example 2: (Text string: '2 + 3' attributes: (UnderylingObjectAttribute for: 5)) -> User presses inspectIt -> Editor finds an UnderylingObjectAttribute -> instead of compiling the selection, the cached result is reused for the inspector.
We would not even need to display this Attribute visually if it works reliably.

Make sure it is transient in some way because it would be quite annoying if the hidden object were out of date with regards to the text.
