You have hit my main gripe with the RB - it has no regard for formatting. I freely use it for things that do not require rewriting code (e.g. the up/down refactorings), and sometimes for new code that has not had time to accumulate useful comments. If the code has been around for a while, then I usually prefer to do the work manually than to see my configuration management queues scattered to the four corners of video RAM.
I would greatly enjoy seeing this fixed, but given the attitude of the xp crowd toward comments, I am not optimistic. My experience porting lots of old code to Pharo has only strengthened my belief that well-placed comments are a very valuable aid. One package contained three logic errors that should have bitten me years ago, but never did. Bill -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of T. J.

Hi, I am using Pharo with the default browser, which is the OmniBrowser. When I right-click on a message name in the right-most panel and choose "rename refactor" from the menu, enter the new name and accept, the message sends are renamed, but the whitespace formatting in those refactored methods is not preserved. Is there any way at present to do this while keeping the formatting intact? _______________________________________________ Pharo-project mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gforge.inria.fr/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pharo-project _______________________________________________ Pharo-project mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gforge.inria.fr/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pharo-project
