"FileList registeredFileReaderClasses" redirects to FileServices
Last updated at 11:23 pm UTC on 26 March 2017
The class FileList no longer keeps a file registry. It redirects to FileServices

FileList
 registeredFileReaderClasses 	
    FileReaderRegistry := nil. "wipe it out" 	
    ^FileServices registeredFileReaderClasses


The expression
 FileServicesregisteredFileReaderClasses
gives back the direct access to the OrderedCollection which is hold in the class variable FileReaderRegistry ("FileServices registeredFileReaderClasses") of FileServices.


So registering and unregistering reader classes with FileList should not be done any-more but directly with FileServices. FileServices was introducted in Squeak 3.9 and replaces the earlier registration mechanism with FileList. As of Squeak 5.1 quite a number of methods are still referring to FileList though.
