Hi Hernan,
GTInspector was built to be extensible without any subclassing :).
The GTObjectVariablesBrowser shows the raw view and you probably do not
want to mess with that. Rather than that you should create a new tab for
your own class.
The way you extend it for a specific class is by defining a method like
this:
MyClass>>gtInspectorCustomListIn: composite
<gtInspectorPresentationOrder: 10>
composite list
title: 'My list'
display: [ self list]
If you want to see all inspector extensions available in the image take a
look at the following post:

Does it help?
