I don't really care about the star-prefix or internal structure of how protocols are represented, as long as its not laborious to port methods to GemStone/Squeak. Could the 'create new protocol dialog' could be smarter and if a star is typed first then the autocomplete switches to a list of packages, like you already have/show in the 'convert to extension' dialog? I understand Calypso has a new workflow for creating extension protocols and managing protocols in general. Seems like there's gotta be a way to avoid traversing from the method list to the bottom of the code pane when editing a method or group of methods protocol. I'll practice more with it today though. > Seems like it if the protocol is empty when I convert it to an extension > it >> gets deleted rather than converted. > > > It needs to be improved to avoid such confusion Or just maybe not immediately delete the thing I just created.
