Hi Hernan, A couple of things. First, you do not want to disable Raw for an object because that implies that you will have no option for inspecting that raw state of that object.
You are not forced to have multiple views. Only if you want them :). It seems to me that you are trying to overuse the inspector for customers. That is not the intention. The inspector is for developers. However, once you have various presentations for an object, you can put them together in a filtered inspector or even in a complete browser altogether. This is where Glamour kicks in. See here an example: http://www.humane-assessment.com/blog/creating-custom-browsers-out-of-inspector-extensions/ Cheers, Doru On Wed, Jan 28, 2015 at 6:35 PM, Hernán Morales Durand < [email protected]> wrote: > > > 2015-01-28 5:44 GMT-03:00 Sven Van Caekenberghe <[email protected]>: > >> >> > On 28 Jan 2015, at 08:33, Hernán Morales Durand < >> [email protected]> wrote: >> > >> > >> > >> > 2015-01-27 5:11 GMT-03:00 Tudor Girba <[email protected]>: >> > 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.
