why we could not have something like
loadConfigurationButton: aList
<menu>
aList
act: [ :presenter | self onLoadFrom: presenter ]
icon: #configIcon
entitled: 'Load configuration (do not install project)’
in this case it should be called #act:iconNamed:entitled:, IMO.
yes
but I was thinking and what I actually would do is to model the class Icon, and then you
can add an extension to symbol “#asIcon” who call some "Icon fromSymbol: blah"
then the strategy of resolution can change without changing anything in the
system :P
(I know you would not like #asIcon, but I think in this case it would be better than all
those "Smalltalk ui icons iconNamed: blah" all around the image)
This is why I started also to add methods
iconNamed: aSymbol
Smalltalk ui icons aSymbol
so that we can start to think and it will be easier to produce
iconNamed: aSymbol
Icon fromSymbol: aSymbol
I HATE so much these bad bad bad global variable idea.
I think that this pattern is doomed.
We should have an object
This is the same for
Smalltalk tools browser
Why the clients cannot get initialized with a tool context registry and
the code would be
registry browser
We are accepting not so good design to my opinion and we are getting
spaghetti.

and the class knows how to fetch it?
