It really looks intersting! I can imagine some good use of it to
navigate in geometric objects.

Thanks

We could replace (most of) the FileBrowser by

GLMPager new with: [ :pager |
 pager show: [ :composite :file |
  composite title: file basename.
  file gtInspectorItemsIn: composite.
  file gtInspectorContentsIn: composite ];
title: 'FileBrowser' ];
 openOn: FileSystem disk workingDirectory



Where it replaces

FileList linesOfCode

==> 1075
(plus three more helper classes).

Of course this does a little bit more, but most of that is at the wrong spot 
anyway.
(editor for text files, API for file selection on the class side).

[Pharo-dev] creating custom browsers out of GTInspector extensions

[Tudor Girba]

Hi,

Now, that more people are playing with the GTInspector, I would like to
raise another point that might otherwise go unnoticed: The inspector
extensions do not only work in the inspector, but can also be combined in
other browsers as well.

For example, the attached picture shows a Pillar browser that shows only
the presentations relevant to editing Pillar books. And the code looks like:

GLMPager new with: [ :pager |
 pager show: [ :composite :file |
  composite title: file basename.
  file gtInspectorItemsIn: composite.
  file gtInspectorPillarConfigurationIn: composite.
  file gtInspectorPillarIn: composite.
  file gtInspectorPillarProjectIn: composite.
  file gtInspectorPngIn: composite.
  file gtInspectorGifIn: composite.
  file gtInspectorContentsIn: composite ] ];
 openOn: FileSystem disk workingDirectory

[image: Inline image 1]

See here some more details:
http://www.humane-assessment.com/blog/creating-custom-browsers-out-of-inspector-extensions

The interesting thing is that we can now easily imagine creating rather
sophisticated tools with little code and that we only use for a very short
time (like minutes). This has a rather high disruption potential given that
no other environment I know of allows for something like this.

Let us know what you think.

Cheers,
Doru
