Re: [Pharo-users] Protocol selection erratic behaviour

Let me see if I understand what you are saying. The category "setter" exists, but it's an automatically generated one (as well as others, I suppose). So it doesn't appear in the protocol selection window, because that window only lists protocols created manually. Is that what you where saying?

Re: [Pharo-users] Pharo Video Tutorial: Package Tags

I have several issues with this part of the system. If something is a tag, then you should be able to apply multiple tags to something. If not, then they are, as you say, subpackages. ​

Re: [Pharo-users] Pharo Video Tutorial: Package Tags

Since Tags have a different behaviour than Packages, I think we should. (specially when adding comments, which Packages support and Tags don't) ​

[Pharo-users] Protocol selection erratic behaviour

When creating a method in the debugger, when the select protocol pop up window appears, sometimes it finds the protocol we want (getter) and sometimes it doesn't and we have to type it all and add it as if it was new. Is this something normal and my expectations are off? Or is this a bug?
