Hi there,
When I grab a browser from the right-hand global flap, it doesn't update itself when I add a new class, method, etc. If I get a new browser from the flap, it shows the changes.
If I open a browser with 'open...' from the root menu, it works fine.
I tried reinstating the flaps, and when that failed, I tried to figure out the problem from the 'Utilities reinstateGlobalFlaps' method; still no luck.
Has anyone encountered this? I'm using image 2.4b with a few changes of my own that are almost too trivial to mention. Any suggestions?
Thanks, Josh

Hi, I must be blind, but, what are these 'flaps' that people keep talking about. There in Morphic, right? How do I set things so that I can see them?
Thanks!

In the 'World' menu, choose 'help', and then 'edit preferences'. Then toggle the 'use global flaps' option to true. They show up as 4 tabs, on the top, bottom, left and right of the screen. Just move the mouse over them and they will expand.

In a morphic project, open a preferences panel and choose useGlobalFlaps.
Folks -- take a tip from the experts: we don't know everything that's there either, but we know how to make Squeak work for us...
1. Try the selector finder, and type in 'flaps'. This will at least get you to explainFlaps, plus a number of other relevant methods.
2. Also you could type and select 'flaps' somewhere (or select the one you just typed), and hit cmd-shift-E to find all methods with that word in a string. That would get you Preferences initializeHelpMessages, among others.
Kudos to Scott Wallace for this cool new feature in 2.4, and to Ted Kaehler and Scott for these tools I recommend.

Hi, Thanks to both of you. Now that I have them turned on they are really cool. I'm caught by the "too small screen problem" so useGlobalFlaps isn't one of my preference options, so, you can also turn them on by selecting 'windows...' off the world menu, and then selecting 'flaps... '
Thanks for the other suggestions. I should have spent more time poking :-)
cheers
