The UI is looking really great lately, but overall the experience is it's just too slow. Cracking open a raw squeak base image reminds me how snappy the UI used to be. Not really complaining, it's totally bearable, but it'd sure be nice if the pretty UI was quick and snappy, and you are asking. Ramon Leon http://onsmalltalk.com

Re: [Pharo-project] looking for Unicode testers

by Mariano Martinez Peck

Excellent!! It works perfect for me: Ubuntu, UTF8, latin american keyboard. I test Ã¡Ã©ÃºÃÃ³ Ã± and all works well :) On the other hand, I test changing the fonts for code, and also works ok.

Re: [Pharo-project] Call for UI gripes

by Bill Schwab

Gary, I suppose I could suggest replacing some of the button bars with more compact iconic toolbars. Things like debugging over, into, etc. lend themselves well to that. The world menu will not make much sense if we ever get one window per shell. The biggest concern I have right now is speed. I'm not saying Pharo is too slow; I'm simply admitting that I do not know whether it is fast enough for some of the things I want to do. That leads to a question I should ask: Gwenael, without asking you to do anything just yet, is your updated parser in a state that it can installed and used? How hard is that to do? Would it be easy for you? Are you able and willing to make it available? What would I have to give up? It's a long story, but tripping over underscores is a problem for a couple of things I would like to do. Bill Wilhelm K.

Re: [Pharo-project] [squeak-dev] Monticello Timeline

by HernÃ¡n Morales Durand

Thanks Keith, I'm aware of your good work for the community. I didn't knew about that version and it seems to be quite stable. To summarize, the steps required to get a robust Monticello are: - Install the package Installer from http://www.squeaksource.com/Installer.html - And then doIt of the script in http://installer.pbwiki.com/LevelPlayingField-Monticello15 Cheers.

The list of contributors is part of Yoshiki's MethodAuthorship package: http://www.squeaksource.com/MethodAuthorship.html See the methods in the #data category of class Authorship I attached a log of an irc conversation with Yoshiki that may clear a few things up.

Re: [Pharo-project] a question about method browsers in pharo

by StÃ©phane Ducasse

Yes it is a bit frustrating. For example the OBdebugger in the dev image does not have all the menu items and the problem is that this is always under stress that we get to notice that :) Stef On Feb 7, 2009, at 12:44 PM, Oscar Nierstrasz wrote: > > Hi Folks, > > I am confused by the various method browsers in Pharo. > > If I <cmd>-m on (say) @ in a Workspace, then I get an "Implementors" > view with two panes, the top ones showing 6 implementors of @.
