[Pharo-project] Plugin organization
by Michael Rueger Feb. 10, 2009

Feb. 10, 2009

Hi all, while working on a new (Open)Sophie release I ran into the problem of where to put some plugin code. In this case it is for the Curl Plugin, which Steven Riggins ported into Sophie, but the problem is pretty common I would guess. So the problem is this (as illustrated using our Curl package): - we have a package Sophie-Curl, which includes the Squeak Curl client and the CurlPlugin class. - loaded into a "normal" image, the CurlPlugin ends up being a subclass of ProtObject as the superclass is missing. - now we separate it into Sophie-Curl and Sophie-Curl-Plugin, but that won't fly with the MC name matching - so we name it Sophie-Curl and Sophie-Plugin-Curl I think that is ugly. What I would like to propose is that we organize all plugins in Pharo in to a Plugin category. So we would then have "Plugin-Curl", "Plugin-Locale" etc. Or alternatively "Plugin-Network-Curl", "Plugin-System-Locale" etc. That would also allow to simply load all plugins into a VMMaker image by using a package "Plugin". What do you guys think? Michael

[Pharo-project] Call for UI gripes
by Gary Chambers Feb. 7, 2009

Feb. 7, 2009

Anything that anyone thinks could be improved? Happy to consider things... just would be nice to have a central point for moving forward with Polymorph (in particular) or other tools... There is a possibility of open-source release of the PackageListTool (http://www.flickr.com/photos/12018791@N06/2616669616/in/set-721576016593932…) if there is any interest. Regards, Gary.

[Pharo-project] a couple of issues
by Tudor Girba Feb. 5, 2009

Feb. 5, 2009

Hi, There are a couple of issues I stumbled across in Pharo and I thought of reporting them: - When loading Pier and Seaside there were some Warnings related to some instance variables that blocked the loading. This is a rather strange behavior, especially given that they are warnings. I would rather prefer to have the list of warnings presented to me at the end because like this I can have the code loading without me needing to pay attention. - Apple+B does not work on methods anymore. - Apple+W does not close the window. It seems that the outside window never gets the focus it needs to act on this shortcut. - Spawning a browser takes quite a long time. - Why is mouse swap preference not enabled by default? Otherwise, it looks really nice :) Cheers, Doru -- www.tudorgirba.com "Every successful trip needs a suitable vehicle."

[Pharo-project] Polymorph and OB Browser Colors Quick Solution
by Rob Rothwell Feb. 4, 2009

Feb. 4, 2009

I know OB has some issues with the Polymorph themes such that you are always left with the standard browser window color border in the window panes of an OB Browser. At any rate, a simple "Preferences setPreference: #browserWindowColor toValue: (Color r: 0.815 g: 0.811 b: 0.811)" seems to set it to a decent color for the Watery2 or Watery theme, but I was wondering if there is a better place to set something like this more...dynamically...when different themes are chosen. Thanks, Rob

[Pharo-project] reordering Monticello browser buttons
by Alexandre Bergel Jan. 31, 2009

Jan. 31, 2009

Hi all, I was wondering whether: 1- we need so many buttons in MC browser, and 2- the history and backport buttons may be shifted on the right. The only time I used these buttons was when I wrote the chapter on monticello.
