[Cuis-dev] Wrong feedback adding an extension category?

[Gerald Klix]

Confirmed!

There is are two issues with Browser>>#addExtensionCategory.
First there is a coding error, this fragment

(packageNames includes:                (newCategoryName copyUpTo: $-) 
allButFirst

should read

(packageNames includes:                (newCategoryName copyUpToLast: 
$-) allButFirst.

The conceptional problem is that there should be some message that
should complain in a sensible way if you use just the package name as 
category (after the ‚*‘).

Please give me 45 minutes to fix this.

The intended use is to choose an existing category – ‚menu‘
in your case – and than choose „Add extension Category ...“
The text-input morph should contain the name „Graphics-Files-Additiona-menu“
in this case.


Til later,

Gerald
