<p>Hi Marcel,</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>crazy hack, but it bites with the fact that storing underscore variables in a Workspace is a legal operation. I only need to print "<span>_fileDirectory" in a workspace and the menu will break. Could we please just use a separate dictionary for the properties?
:-)</span></p>
<p><span><br>
</span></p>
<p>Furthermore, how many different properties can actually be stored in a Workspace? So far I only counted 3 different keys - does this really justify the use of the Variable State pattern?</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Best,</p>
<p>Christoph</p>

==================== Summary ====================<br>
<br>
Name: Tools-mt.1074<br>
Author: mt<br>
Time: 25 November 2021, 11:44:01.944354 am<br>
UUID: 39954290-b416-f242-a5b0-c7aea0e3c6a6<br>
Ancestors: Tools-mt.1073<br>
<br>
Adds a property protocol to Workspace to avoid having to go through #containingWindow to store extra stuff, which does not even work for MVC, just for morphs (i.e., SystemWindow, not StandardSystemView). Reuses a workspace's "bindings" with each property being
prefixed with a "_" to not interfere with regular bindings.<br>
<br>
Note that such extra properties have already been added to #containingWindow in the past.<br>
