Re: [Pharo-project] focus and moving windows

FWIW, I frequently have had troubles like that with graphical systems that were mixing current cursor position with positions from the events. Bill Wilhelm K.

[Pharo-project] FreeType scanning Font folders
by Hilaire Fernandes Dec. 30, 2008

Dec. 30, 2008

Hello all, I am preparing a new istoa public release with latest Pharo. I am only using two fonts and I would like FreeType to only scan the Font folder along the .image. Can someone point me where to look to prevent FreeType scanning the host system folders at start up? Thanks -- http://blog.ofset.org/hilaire

[Pharo-project] Polymorph sound theme
by Gary Chambers Dec. 30, 2008

Dec. 30, 2008

Any interest in having some concrete sound themes via Polymorph? Default is "no sound" at present. Mostly no examples due to effort required to produce open-source friendly copyright sound clips. Currently supported are window events (open/close/restore-up/restore-down/minimise/maximise) plus specific support for dialog window opening (abort/alert/deny/message/question). FM synthesis is, of course, an option. Sound themes are orthogonal to the ui theme in use. Regards, Gary.

[Pharo-project] On not unnecessarily closing down the language
by Lukas Renggli Dec. 30, 2008

Dec. 30, 2008

Seaside depends on external packages, that we don't have control over. For example there the Swazoo package contains a class-instance variable that is uppercase. Unfortunately Pharo throws a notification (instance variables should begin with a lower case characters) when loading that code. This is awkward, because it makes it impossible to load code automatically and gives us additional work. In my opinion a programming language should be as open as possible, and if possible not restrict the user in any way, even if this is against best practices. Unfortunately many of those restrictions are built into our language that wouldn't be necessary: - class names and class-variable names are enforced to be uppercase - class instance-variable names are enforced to be lowercase - it is not possible to assign a new value to a method argument - variable names are enforced to be unique in all scopes In my opinion the language should be as open as possible. It is the purpose of Code Critics to point out smells, not the task of the compiler to reject code that doesn't follow best practices. I am slightly frustrated trying to work around these restrictions ... Cheers, Lukas -- Lukas Renggli http://www.lukas-renggli.ch

So...how do I bring up a Morph's halo in Pharo now? Something between 10196 and 10201 made the Alt-click quit working...! Take care, Rob

[Pharo-project] Introducing Mars 0.1
by Esteban Lorenzano Dec. 27, 2008

Dec. 27, 2008

Hi, I'm introducing Mars (just another world) Mars is a world for Squeak (and all it's forks) builded as an MVC on top of Cocoa (OSX framework) and OmniBrowser. For that reason, Mars just runs on OSX environments. While this project has some similariries with SqueakGTK and wxSqueak, it has big differences: 1) Mars is not a port of Cocoa for squeak, is just an MVC implementation who uses Cocoa. Why that "subtle" distinction? well, SqueakGTK is a full port of GTK+ library and for that reason, a little big a and a little too complex. I'm following simplicity as one of the project goals. 2) Mars is a plugin, and will run in any fork of squeak, and OB-Mars (Mars world) will run in any fork of squeak who can load OmniBrowser. This is a big difference with wxSqueak, wich is a fork it self (and requires an special VM) And of course, while both efforts (SqueakGTK and wxWidgets) are cool, none of them can be executed (and won't ever be) in small environments, like the iphone, which is one of my main objectives (using John's new VM and Edgar's work on minimal image building) Mars is MIT and can be downloaded following instructions from here: http://www.smallworks.com.ar/productos/Mars/Download For more details (history, blog, etc.), you can go to: http://www.smallworks.com.ar/productos/Mars DISCLAIMER: Right now, Mars is vere-very alpha stage (though it runs and can be used) and I would love any contribution in the form of: bug reports (there will be a lot now), feature requests, comments, and of course, code :) Cheers, Esteban -- "Querer es suscitar las paradojas" Camus.

[Pharo-project] Behavior>>basicLocalSelectors
by Alexandre Bergel Dec. 26, 2008

Dec. 26, 2008

Dear List, I guess this method returns a collection of selectors that are locally defined (i.e., not imported by some traits). Why it returns nil in Behavior then? Should it return #() instead?

[Pharo-project] Code coverage in PharoInbox
by Alexandre Bergel Dec. 25, 2008

Dec. 25, 2008

I just realized that I saved using my initials and not my name. I can resave it if necessary. The MC comment: -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= ISSUE #426: The class TestCase is extended with few methods that enables a simple code coverage. It essentially checks for method calls in the test, and compare them with the set of defined methods. For example, OrderedCollectionTest coverageAsString ==> 'OrderedCollectionTest covers 60% of OrderedCollection' to get these results for all collections: (((Smalltalk allClasses select: [:cls | cls category beginsWith: 'CollectionsTests-']) copyWithoutAll: {TextAndTextStreamTest . TextLineEndingsTest}) collect: [:cls | cls coverageAsString]) do: [:str | Transcript show: str; cr] -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= The printout of the last statement given in the comment is: ArrayTest covers 26% of Array AssociationTest covers 27% of Association BagTest covers 72% of Bag Base64MimeConverterTest covers 0% of Base64MimeConverter CharacterSetTest covers 13% of CharacterSet CharacterTest covers 3% of Character CollectionTest covers 14% of Collection DictionaryTest covers 33% of Dictionary FloatArrayTest covers 22% of FloatArray HeapTest covers 43% of Heap IdentityBagTest covers 0% of IdentityBag IntervalTest covers 59% of Interval LinkedListTest covers 71% of LinkedList MatrixTest covers 10% of Matrix OrderedCollectionTest covers 60% of OrderedCollection ReadStreamTest covers 18% of ReadStream ReadWriteStreamTest covers 13% of ReadWriteStream RunArrayTest covers 25% of RunArray SetTest covers 41% of Set SharedQueue2Test covers 44% of SharedQueue2 SkipListTest covers 48% of SkipList SortedCollectionTest covers 58% of SortedCollection StackTest covers 73% of Stack StringTest covers 10% of String SymbolTest covers 25% of Symbol TextAlignmentTest covers 0% of TextAlignment TextEmphasisTest covers 9% of TextEmphasis TextFontChangeTest covers 33% of TextFontChange TextFontReferenceTest covers 11% of TextFontReference TextKernTest covers 8% of TextKern TranscriptTest covers 9% of Transcript WeakIdentityKeyDictionaryTest covers 0% of WeakIdentityKeyDictionary WideCharacterSetTest covers 38% of WideCharacterSet WideStringTest covers 6% of WideString WriteStreamTest covers 14% of WriteStream The champions are StackTest, BagTest, and OrderedCollectionTest.
