The version is: Pharo2.0 of 7 March 2013 update 20600 > in Nautilus, browse to the Object class, and click "hierarchy". It does what I want. I mean, I can see the whole hierarchy. But isn't this procedure more like a workaround? I mean... 1. Find Class 2. Type Object 3. Click Hierarchy And that wouldn't be too bad, but... 4. ...as soon as I click in another class name (outside of the Kernel-Objects category, grayed) it takes A LOT(*) to switch to the selected class.

It needs maintenance though, everytime I add a class It must be added to the group. Am I asking for something too esoteric? I worked long time with other Smalltalk dialects and it takes a while to get used to each one ergonomy and tools, but the class browser/system browser is, usually, the most straightforward tool in the environment. Does exist a "best practices" guide for Pharo? Thank you again!
