I am just starting to learn Glamour and thought it would be instructive to see what had changed in the example between 4.5 & 4.6. I thought someone else might be mildly interested in the results I compiled. (notation... 4.5-code ==> 4.6 code)

I'll begin by thanking those that took the time to provide these examples. They are a great way to learn the system. The addition in 4.6 of GLMExamplesBrowser is nice, and the menu item [View browser tree] provides an interesting rendition of each example.

_EXAMPLES NOW WORKING IN 4.6, WAS NOT IN 4.5_ Double click #doubleClick Simple table #simpleTable Text ports #textPortsExamples Icons #tableWithIcons - 4.5 did not transmit to next pane, but same code to 4.6 does work. Also 4.6 refactors.... selectionAct: [:tree | tree inspect ] ==> selectionAct: [:tree | tree selection inspect ] Also 4.6 adds alternating icons.

_EXAMPLES THAT OPERATE THE SAME IN 4.6 AS 4.5 - CODE IDENTICAL _ * Tree with menu #treeWithMenu - but might need the same change to selectionAct: as for "Icons #tableWithIcons" * Dashboard #dashboard * Dashboard specifying extents #dashboardWithSpecificExtents * Dashboards in dashboard #dashboardsInDashboard * Composite arrangements #differentComposites * Complex morphs (StarBrowser simulation) #starBrowser * EyeSee interactive bar chart #eyeseeBarDiagram * Mondrian painting #mondrianPainting * Multiple actions #multipleActions * Simple Expander #simpleExpander * Smart lists #treeWithAmountFiltering * Stacker #stacker * Tabs with different actions #tabsWithDifferentActions * Three inter-dependent panes #threeInterdependentPanes * Tree with children by level #treeWithChildrenByLevel * Tree with expansion #treeWithExpansion * Tree with tags #treeWithTags * (no glmBrowser pragma) #taggedTree

* Tree withTags more levels #treeWithTagsMoreLevels [*1] - enhancement... it would be good if after deselecting the tags, it remembered which node had previously been expanded. When when I click a tag twice, I expect to get back the same view I had before.

* Magritte presentation #magritte - This was one a was I was REALLY interested to see regarding the update to Magritte 3. However 4.6 code is identical to 4.5 and produce the same error.... [Save] ==> error MAWriteError: Not supposed to write to something. [Cancel] ==> no change. Now without knowing anything about Magritte, I would expect the text box to revert to the original text.

What would be a REALLY great would be a Magritte 3 example here of something like a tiny address book of a few entries that in one pane browsed the list and in another pane showed the detail via Magritte

_EXAMPLE THAT OPERATE THE SAME AS 4.5 - CODE REFACTORED AS NOTED

?? Perhaps someone could comment on the general nature of these refactorings...

1. #using seems to be being purged from Glamour. Perhaps(?) to remove a lot of methods from GLMBrowser & GLMTPresentationBuilder, leaving these only in GLMCompositePresentation. Examples... showOn: ... using: [ browser mondrian ==> transmit to: .... andShow: [ :a | a mondrian showOn: ... using: [ browser list ==> transmit to: ... andShow: [ :a | a list showOn: ... using: [ browser morph ==> transmit to: ... andShow: [ :a | a morph

* Action list #simpleActionList * Allowing all nil #allowAllNil * Allowing nil #allowNil * Drop-down #dropDownList [ * Drop-down with initial value #dropDownListWithInitialValue * Dynamic validator #validatorDynamic * Fix size pane #fixSizePanes * Morph icons #morphIcons * Tags #compoundTaggedTree * Updated selection #listsWithUpdatedSelection * Validator #validator - but I don't actually see any difference to operation of "Dynamic Validator #dynamicValidator" method - what am I missing ? * (no glmBrowser pragma) #singleInitialSelection

2. Clean up similar to [1.] finder list ==> finder show: [ :a | a list browser text ==> browser show: [ :a | a text finder table ==> finder show: [ :a | a table

* Browser menu #simpleFinderWithMenu * Filter #multipleFinderWithFilter * Finder #simpleFinder * Populate port action #populatePortAction * Search #multipleFinderWithFilterAndSearch * Toolbar #browserWithToolbar * Tabs with different labels #tabsWithDifferentLabels * (no glmBrowser pragma) #treeWithInitialSelection - however this gets a MNU GLMTabulator>>text in 4.6 - requires one more browser text ===> a text

3. #sendTo: from: with: ==> #transmit: port: ; #from: ; #transformed

* Updated selection #listsWithUpdatedSelection

4. Transcript ==> Inspector (not really a significant change?)

* Action list #simpleActionList * Menus #staticAndDynamicMenu

_EXAMPLE CODE AND OPERATION CHANGED SIGNIFICANTLY FROM 4.5 TO 4.6 _

* Accumulator #accumulator

* Updateable browser #updateableBrowser - Completely different code and operation. What is the difference in operation between the 'Upadted automatically' tab and 'Updated via menu' -

_NEW EXAMPLES IN 4.6_ ?? Do the following demonstrate new functionality in 4.6 or just a new example of existing 4.5 functionality ?

* Format #formatAsWords - what does this have to do with composites protocol it is located in? * Smalltalk code #smalltalkCode * Spawn browser actions #spawnBrowserActions - it would be useful to also see how a single selected item could be opened in a new window - not just the whole list) * Spawn browser selection actions #spawnBrowserSelectionActions (note, the method of in-comment example is incorrect)

*(no glmBrowser pragma) #listDragAndDrop - very nice :) However dropping onto a number in [Source] causes an error. Also a useful additional example would dropping on to the [Target] background (which might use item + 0)

_ISSUES WITH 4.6 EXAMPLES_

* Two inter-dependent panes #interdependentPanes - code is flagged as not working. does not work in 4.5 either.

* (no glmBrowser pragma) #treeWithInitialSelection - 4.6 has a nice additional functionality of auto-expand when moving from [first tree] to [second tree]. However in both 4.5 & 4.6, upon initial opening and also when switching from [first tree] to [second tree] an erroneous additional line spacing occurs as shown in _ treeWithInitialSelection-extra-line-spacing.jpg _ (attached)

* Text selection #textSelection - execute from method comment works in 4.5 but fails in 4.6 with unknown selector #textSelectionInterval. However it works from Example Browser

* (no glmBrowser pragma) #wizard - It is not clear how to get hold of the selected items

* (no glmBrowser pragma) #multiInitialSelection - I am only able to multi-select contiguous items with the SHIFT key. I am unable to multi-select non-contiguous items as I would expect using the CTRL key. Instead a context menu for MorphTreeMorph appears. Is this unfortunate behaviour just me?

cheers, -ben
