Ok, I can see the pattern now :) However, it’s a bit unexpected, one needs to know something about the packages (I still haven’t studied it yet thoroughly), and for a beginner, I’m afraid, it’s confusing. Otherwise I thinks this browser is a huge improvement, thanks! (finally all the extensions categories nicely out of sight)
Best,

Hi Jaromir --

Thanks for sharing your first impressions!! :-)

I just added the "Browsing" tag as well.

Yes and no. More like for providing a compact view for most class trees. It's a trade-off. I observed that most categories do not have both classes with and without icon:

Hi Marcel,

To me: amazing!

A few questions:

Subconsciously I looked for the prefs in the Browsing department but they are in Morphic and Tools.

What is the purpose of showBlankClassIcons pref? Vertical alignment? The tree looks to me as if something's not right: how about to place a horizontal line extending the tree lines instead of an empty space?

Why are some Packages greyed out and not showing any classes? E.g. Chronology, HelpSystem, Toolbuilder... They only show classes when clicking on the subnode items (Core, Tests...). The greying out is actually not visible in the default Squeak theme. I'm on a fresh trunk image.

Thanks,
Jaromir

Hi all --

Here is a slightly alternative version of Squeak's default browser. It uses tree widgets for the first three panes, that is, system/class categories, classes, message categories.

Menus, filters, drag/drop, updates etc. should all work as in the traditional "Browser" browser.

SystemBrowser default: TreeBrowser.
SystemBrowser default: Browser.

Please report issues. I plan to merge this soon.

Note that there are 3 preferences:
TreeBrowser showAllClassesInPackage
TreeBrowser showBlankClassIcons
TreeBrowser showEmptyPackages

Yes, there is a slim integration with PackageInfo and Monticello packages.

Best,
Marcel
