> Morph new printString 'a Morph(3577889)'

Yes, but an important difference is that this hash is appended to the original representation, not prepended. This is less obtrusive.

True, but it ever hurts me if I write a piece of closed source that is not reusable. And it makes harder synchronizing your image with Trunk/Inbox.

Best,
Christoph

Do as I do. Make your own tools. Then you get tools you like, you know them intimately, and you can change them at whim. It's often much easier than having a general tool with a billion options.

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.
