Hi all,


personally, I am not convinced by displaying the identityHash in each and every inspector window title as shown in Trygve's screenshot. They just make the overall inspector experience a lot more cryptical, compared to a rather small benefit. Also, in my image #asOop returns seven-digit numbers which would cost too much space in the title bars. I think identity comparison is only actually redundant in certain domains or situations, most time you will only open a few inspectors at all.


Isn't there any possibility to show these IDs only on demand? Or can we find a better way to visualize identity than numbers? Maybe a small individual pixel pattern, or shorter IDs that are only unique amongst the class of the inspected object?


Also, please note that having the #reuseWindows preference enabled, this hash is redundant at all because it is not possible to inspect the same object twice.


Best,

Christoph

Nope. I +1'd the idea to be applied to #defaultLabelForInspector because of that "super" issue.

Ah, I beg your pardon.  My mistake.
