<div dir="auto">I think we can make it easy enough so that someone who wants to use a parser other than the default can do it, but without making more subclasses. Just move the preference to a class method in the parser, for example, so anyone can subclass it and reimplement that method and then implement #parserClass in their classes. About workspace, inspectors, debugger, etc, I wouldn’t add complexity for this particular issue, its easy enough to change the default parser to a new subclass if anyone wants to do it.

<p> To avoid this situation, I suggest you edit this method as

ThePreferences ifNil: [ThePreferences _ Dictionary new].<br>
... <br>
</p>
<p> It will allow to add the new preferences from the data array

in the system, it just updates the existing one). A few
limitation: </p>
<ul>
<li> It will not migrate type of existing preference (should be
done by hand by inspecting the object or removing the whole
preference and initialize again), I prevent it by purpose so a

<li> it will not remove deprecated preferences (the ones not
anymore in the data array). Should be removed by hand.<br>

I think that #initialize should discard everything and start anew.<br>
<br>
Please review the attach. It creates a new dictionary, populates it,
and only then installs it as the new ThePreferences. This is a
pattern that has been used in Squeak/Cuis many times.<br>
<br>
BTW, I removed #select:, and renamed #all to #allPreferences. I
think this makes the stuff easier to find with senders/implementors
(by reducing false polymorphism). I kept your author initials, as
this is essentially just some refactoring.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
