Yes - but this could have an easy solution: back in the "good old pharo days"
(TM)
we had a nautilus with a filter above the category pane.
One could easily enter the beginning of the name and the category pane, the
contents was condensed which saves a lot of scrolling. This is especially
helpfull when you
work on a single project (what you normally do).
I would REALLY like to have this feature back. Especially since we
had it in the past and tools like the MetacelloBrowser, the config browser have
it too.
Just open the MetacelloBrowser and enter "Config" in the filter - you can
easily
get all ConfigurationOf... packages. Or enter the first letters of a project
name
like "AST", "Ann" ...
It's a real time saver!
I know Nautilus can be plugged together - dont know if it is possible to
write a plugin to get this filter possibility back. If it disturbs others it
can be made a setting.
And: compared to Eclipse Smalltalk browsers are still much better. Eclipse/Java
lacks categorization of methods which is IMHO horrible.
