https://pharo.fogbugz.com/f/cases/13201/Hard-to-start-a-tutorial-in-Pharo === Name: SLICE-Issue-13201-SLICE-Issue-13201-Hard-to-start-a-tutorial-in-Pharo-SvenVanCaekenberghe.1 Author: SvenVanCaekenberghe Time: 30 April 2014, 4:49:11.694825 pm UUID: 02f94c7a-1998-4364-a7d8-ddbe4c5c3973 Ancestors: Dependencies: HelpSystem-Core-SvenVanCaekenberghe.109, ProfStef-Core-SvenVanCaekenberghe.37 Improve the user experience of running the Pharo[Syntax]Tutorial aka ProfStef by: - adding a simplified (do it/print it/inspect it) menu to the HelpBrowser contents view - adding inspect it to the LessonView menu - adding a lesson about inspection, PharoSyntaxTutorial>>#inspecting - change the doing/printing/inspecting lesson titles - make PharoTutorial/ProfStef #next and #previous work for both the standalone LessonView and the tree based HelpBrowser (apart and together) without opening a new one - make HelpBrowser>>#onItemClicked: deselect in the text view This needs a review; some hacking was involved. === Sven On 30 Apr 2014, at 12:43, Ben Coman <b...@openinworld.com> wrote: > Sven Van Caekenberghe wrote: >> Ben, >> >> He is right, it is a problem when you go to the tutorial via the Browse >> tutorial tool: >> >> And yes there is already an issue but it was temporary closed because the >> welcome space's first expression helps a bit. > > I had a little look at it.
