It would be nice to redesign completely preferences.
Did you read the thread
Re: [Pharo-project] About Preference Flow
of 4 of Feb ?
Summary here
Instead of having the current situation ie
MyTool>>doSomething
....
Preferences useNewDiffTool
ifTrue: [kjlhkjhjkh ]
ifFalse: [nkjhkjkjhkj]
and not been able to remove the preferences (or that the preference is
just a configuration layer).
I would like to have the preference made that way
MyTool class>>useNewDiff
MyTool class>> useOldDiff
**NO REFERENCE TO PREFERENCE IN THE METHOD FLOW!!!!
Preferences useNewDiffTool
MyTool useNewDiff
I like the idea of lukas to use pragmas.
Why not use pragmas on accessors of the class side that would be
picked up by the preference browser? Then all state would be local to
the affected code.
Something along these lines:
MCMonticelloBrowser>>showAdvanceDiffTool: aBoolean
<preference: 'Show advanced diff tool' group: 'Monticello' type:
#Boolean>
advancedDiffTool := aBoolean
