Re: [Pharo-dev] Why doesn't the OSX vm show the name of the running image?

Yes - I guess you are right… I suppose the actual difference is that you get 1 
icon for something like Finder - and then you can do that wizzy thing where you 
press a key to show an overview of the different instances and they do show the 
name of the document.

so maybe (and I doubt it would ever happen, but with infinite resource we 
would) - we could get it to show 1 icon, and let you CMD-` between them.

 it as the default app and double clicked on 2 different images) - and when 
 you do a CMD-Tab, its a bit confusing because all you see are two apps that 
 say “Pharo 3.0” - so its hard to distinguish between them. It may be an OSX 
 limitation - but I thought it was worth asking.
 
 I can create a fogbugz if anyone thinks its worthy.

 It would be nice for those icons to show the image name, but all the other 
 applications I have open also don't show the names of their open 
 documents/content.  ???

btw, What is that whizzy thing key?  I tried CMD-` and it moved the
selection left on item, like a back-tab.
