Hi,
Sorry for not replying earlier. Thanks Nicolai for picking this one up. I
missed the initial mail.
The initialExtent does not make sense for presentation, and anyway, you
would not want to change an inspector when you are inside a flow. If I
understand correctly, Clement would want that when he spawns an inspector
window on a new object, to set the window size to something else.
The idea of having a gtInitialWindowExtent is intriguing, but it won't
really work. The problem is that an object can have associated
presentations in several external packages, so defining the initial extent
in one of them might not work for the other ones.
But, I was more thinking of a different mechanism that remembers the size
of the inspector every time you change it, and have the next window take
that size into account. I am even considering having this size cached by
the class of the object (not sure yet if that makes sense). What do you
think?
Cheers,
Doru

Hello,
I would like for specific objects to change the default window size of
the glamour inspector (Basically a bigger window will be opened by default
for these objects). This is because I extended my inspectors to provide
roassal visualization that are quite large.
How can I do it ?
For example I would like something like that:
MyObject>>#gtInitialWindowExtent
< gtInitialWindowExtent >
^ 800@1000

I think this is not doable.
You can change the method with the inspector pragma to be called with the
context (inspector instance)
gtInspectorItemsIn: composite inContext: aGTInspector
<gtInspectorPresentationOrder: 30>
instead of
gtInspectorItemsIn: composite
<gtInspectorPresentationOrder: 30>
this way you have access to the glamour inspector. Unfortunately it does
not have any
window extent property.
Maybe we can move the initialExtent property from GLMBrowser up to
GLMPresentation?
That way it would be accessible and usable for this aGTInspector argument.
Nicolai
