Since GLMInputTextPresentation (or how it was called, I forget it) is gone, and actually was never there… how can I have the equivalent? I’m sure you had the problem in which you need some… how do you solve it?

Right now the purpose of the toolbar is to show actions that apply on the entire presentation. Adding actions here that depend on the selection would complicate things. Still as long as those actions do not disappear, but get disabled it could work.

But common sense is to have all possible actions in a tool with a visible representation (in toolbars, menus, others). Functionality accessible *just* through the contextual menus

are not good (and you will see no serious GUI design guidelines recommend it… quite the oposite). One example: I made a configurations browser replacement. It shows all packages in a list, with tags for filtering and another pane to show descriptions (btw… a readonly text panel also would be ok)… Now, by selecting a configuration and right clicking, you can install it. This is plain wrong. Why? Because the main purpose of such tool is to allow users to install. So by making them live just in the context menu you are hiding (or at least making not obvious) the main interaction the tool has as a purpose. Btw… I already reported this like 3 years ago, when I used Glamour to doing real life apps. This was the first observation I had each time I explained the system to users. At the moment, I just made my extensions. But now I’m making tools for Pharo, so I cannot just extend. @Esteban: do you need these for lists or other presentations? Lists, Tables, Trees… anything that can have a contextual menu with important interactions.

I would find a directly editable tree structure useful. I have a current need for an "outliner" tool - insert/delete and promote/demote. Anyone done this or have some tips for doing this in Glamour *or* Morphic ? cheers -ben
