That’s something like that :) Actually it opens a new browser, with the exact same state as the current one. Kind of a `Nautilus clone`. > > 7) why "rename method all" is in the main menu and in the sub menu > “refactoring" The refactoring engine comes as a plugin/layer on top of the bare Nautilus. So some actions are implemented without the refactoring engine (the `Analyse` menu) and some are implemented with the Refactoring engine. Moreover, some actions are in the main menu and the refractoring menu because it’s a refactoring often used, and you do not want 5 clicks to reach it. > > 8) "add in Group" throws me an error listmanager is nil. > > Groups are buggy, I am about to refactor and fix this.

What you describe is `Generate initialize method`. If you already have an `initialize` method, doing `Generate initialize method` will only jump to the method, while the `Force the generation of initialize method` will empty it and fill it with the default pattern once more. > > > 10) In refactoring > coder rewriting .

It goes for all the `shouldBeImplemented` in the superclasses, and create a method for it. It turns an abstract class into a concrete one :) Ben
