Hi, Hannes,

There is a tool in the image, called GraphicalDictionaryMenu, which 
allows you to view, edit, and search any dictionary whose values are 
Forms.  It's sort of like a DictionaryInspector, but you see the 
actual graphics rather than a textual description of each element.

Two items in the morphic desktop's "help" menu bring up such a tool, 
namely "graphical imports" (this is the answer to your specific 
question) and "standard graphics library", which lets you browse 
through the dictionary of graphics used by various widgets in the 
Morphic UI.

By coincidence, I had occasion to revisit and use this tool very 
recently, and I encountered the need for several further functions 
and refinements, which I offer fwiw in the attached fileout, which 
contains the following improvements:

*  The last keyword searched for is used as the default for 'find...'
*  When there is no new match in a search, but the current item does 
match that search, the tool flashes rather than claiming no match.
*  'Find again' command added.
*  Added 'Browse symbol references' command, to browse all references 
to the key symbol of the currently-selected entry.
*  Added 'Browse string references' command, to track down all 
methods with string literals that may refer to the currently-selected 
entry.
*  Querying the StandardScriptingSystem for a form at a given key no 
longer needlessly interns the key if it's not already interned.
*  The tool's main menu now has a 'stay-up item'.



Cheers,

   -- Scott
