Hi Lukas - sorry to keep this thread going, but I don't quite
understand what you mean? Partly I think the issue is that over the
years I've become very familiar with the Eclipse/IntelliJ refactorings
(and how they approach things) and I've slowly forgotten how they work
in smalltalk (although - in Dolphin they seem to more closely match
Eclipse/IntelliJ - adding to my confusion in Pharo).
To give some context, I had a class X, then I copied it to create
class Y - made some changes and got something useful working. However
X and Y are mostly the same - so deserve a superclass. This sounds to
me like standard Refactor Class | Create Superclass refactoring
(available in the context menu). Is this what you are referring to?
(And this is a seaside30.rc image). Is this the create class
refactoring you are referring to? It doesn't sound like it?
The one I am referring to just asks me for a name of a superclass and
shows me the method changes it will make (and I can remove those which
I don't deem common) - but they only apply to the single class I ran
the refactoring for - say X. This then leaves me with Y which still
needs work. I was expecting somewhere where it would ask me if there
are any other classes to consider for the refactoring (or better still
- let me multi-select several classes before I do the "create
superclass" in the first place - which apparently is very hard in
Pharo for some reason?).
So is there some other browser, or menu option that I am missing?

Good point. I've been struggling with multiple selection too e.g.
when
setting the refactoring scope. There's an entry called
"selection..." but
since I've never been able to select more than one item from a list,
selecting "selection..." has the same effect as “category" (when
in a
category list of course).
So is there some way of applying a refactoring to more than one
class? What
is that refactoring scope menu item - is there some way to specify
2 or more
classes in there? Why is this so hard?
The refactoring scope is something completely different. It selects
the part of the system that is considered by a refactoring.
Did you ever try to go through the whole create-class refactoring? I
get a dialog that offers me to select multiple classes.
