Hi all!

I am just fixing a bug in the PluggableTreeMorph and was stumbling upon the fact that in #updateFromChangedObject:, items are compared by identity, which makes it harder in the context of a DirectoryChooserDialog to indicate the relevant instance (i.e., you cannot use #containingDirectory which would create a new copy).

Do we actually need identity (#==) instead of equality here? Next to #updateFromChangedObject:, also #getCurrentSelectionItem is using #==. As opposed to this, #selectPath:in: uses #=. Unless you have any counter arguments, I would vote for #= in all three places to delegate equality control to the domain objects that are contained in the tree morph.

Best,
Christoph
