[Pharo-project] [Feature Request] Better integration with OSX Window Management
by Stefan Marr Jan. 12, 2010

Jan. 12, 2010

Hello: I just had a very annoying experience with the lake of sufficient window management tools on Mac OS X. (Annoying enough to write this mail...) The following happened: At home I have a external screen attached to my mac book, it is configured to be a secondary screen positioned above the main (internal) screen. The Pharo window was moved to that screen. In the office, I have another configuration, and there was no way to get hold of the Pharo window anymore. It remembered its positioning and was just of screen. Expose allows me to see it, and shows even a beautiful animation moving it out of reach after clicking on it. Obviously the menu SqueakVM > Quit is not really helpful, since the question whether to save or not is displayed unreachable off screen, too. I am not sure whether the standard OS X window menu functionality with "minimize" and "zoom" would help here, but might be a start. On the other hand, I would guess, that the OSX windowing systems sends some events which could be handled like all other windows do. The only workaround for the moment, is to have a external screen and fiddle with the screen configuration and positioning until I can get hold of the window... Not exactly convenient.

[Pharo-project] Question about method versions in the browser....
by Brian Brown Jan. 12, 2010

Jan. 12, 2010

Hello all, I notice there is some functionality that I expected to see when I look at method versions in the class browser. When you bring up the right click menu on a version, you can revert to that version (which I expect), but any choices to remove that version from the history are absent. "Remove method (x)" does appear and, funny, it does remove the entire method! :) Is this the correct behavior? Do we no longer have the ability to remove specific versions of methods, or this an oversight? I looked at the bug tracker on google code, and found nothing related to method versions. Any thoughts would be appreciated! - Brian

[Pharo-project] Problems with Strike fonts
by Mariano Martinez Peck Jan. 12, 2010

Jan. 12, 2010

Weeks ago Lukas reported an issue with StrikeFonts width. I don't know if it is the same, but in the latest dev with StrikeFonts (pharo1.0-10502-rc1dev09.12.2) you cannot even understand the text. Look the attached screenshot ? What do you think it says ? Ok, it says: "OCompleti" I am the only one that see that ? cheers mariano

[Pharo-project] Etymology of #perform:?
by Adrian Kuhn Jan. 12, 2010

Jan. 12, 2010

Smalltalk is based on message sending, but sending a method is called #perform: rather than #send:? When I read aloud the code is it "perform a message" or "perform a method", both seem to be wrong. The first since, well, methods are sent not performed. And the second since, well, the argument is a message and a not a method. What is the etymology or rational for this? Maybe if one of the old Smalltalkers (or Marcus with his awesome knowledge of Smalltalk history) can elaborate on this? --AA
