[Pharo-project] Removing more classes from Pharo
by Adrian Lienhard March 17, 2009

March 17, 2009

In quest of modularizing Pharo and reducing its memory footprint, I was wondering whether the following packages should be removed: - TrueType and related classes in Multilingual-Display (are obsolete since we have FreeType, no?) - Services (does not seem to be used, except by a subclass in Polymorph) - Graphics-External-Ffenestri (why is this in the image??) - Compression (I think, does not need to be in the kernel) - Sound (dito) - Traits-LocalSends and Traits-Requires (are not used) - MorphicExtras (I assume at least some of those could extracted) - ...? I would put these in a repository so they can be loaded if needed. The extraction of some of these packages likely needs some work, but would be a first step towards a more modular kernel. What do others think? Adrian ___________________ http://www.adrian-lienhard.ch/

Added BoundedGradientFillStyle. Standard Squeak uses original menu pin form. Tweaked appearance of drop lists for Watery 2 as an interim measure. Fixed positioning of drop list pop-up-list to deal with transforms (no rotation though ;-) ) (thanks Alain) Removed "revert" option in patch browser for MC 1.0 compatability. Handle missing remote definition when selecting next conflict. Stef

[Pharo-project] about reliability of installer
by StÃ©phane Ducasse March 16, 2009

March 16, 2009

Hi guys I was going over the chapter on installer and I played a bit with it. But I got the following behavior | monticello | monticello := Installer monticello http: 'http://www.squeaksource.com/BreakOut'. monticello addPackage: 'BreakOut'. monticello install this installed breakout-rj.11 while the latest one is Breakout-rkrk.119 and of course I did not want to load Breakout but BreakOut which is my version. So this experience shows me that Installer is a nice idea but that it has unpredictable behavior --- may be I should reimplement the api I need and make it work (now keith will shout as usual) Lukas is it because of such behavior that you got problem loading seaside or other projects with it?

[Pharo-project] Unicode test II
by Michael Rueger March 15, 2009

March 15, 2009

Hi all, after some interesting adventures in Unicode land here's a second version of the unicode test image/app: http://impara.de/~michael/unicode-test.zip Things that I think should work: - unicode text input on all platforms including support of composing character sequences (.eg. US international keyboards) - unicode clipboard handling - text editor shortcuts on non Latin1 keyboards (e.g. Russian) (thinking about it, only tested on Windows so far) Mostly untested: - unicode filename handling Known not to work: - keyboard shortcuts in lists (e.g. browsers) on non Latin1 keyboards. That would take another major refactoring of handling shortcuts. Once I know this version works reasonable well I'll package everything up for inclusion in the updates. Right now it is pretty much a mess. Happy testing Michael

[Pharo-project] Setting package test
by Alain Plantec March 14, 2009

March 14, 2009

Hi all, Preference is now renamed as Setting. Please, can you can load these two packages and play with the settings. 'SettingTree open' open the browser. Examples of setting are located in the Setting-SandBox category. You can use <pharo> or <setting> as pragma. the pragma list the browser is able to recognize is now a parameter. (see SettingCollector class side). as an example, It will be possible for an application to use its own pragma symbol. Thus, the browser will be able to show application specific settings. I will add 'saving', 'saving as', choose, open, and 'filtering' features (by package or by setting name as available in current preference browser). If you have more ideas or needs, please let me know. Cheers alain

[Pharo-project] Task bar in web image
by Schwab,Wilhelm K March 13, 2009

March 13, 2009

Gary, I have been prodding Damien's recent Pharo-web, and have noted that items in the task bar do not immediately disappear when the corresponding window is closed. It looks like there is some type of blending such that they dim over a few cycles of change in z-order of the remaining windows. Bill

from the item list in the sender and implementors resulting window. this way we could move method as extension directly in the sender or implementors lists. Stef
