[Pharo-project] Virtual Desktops in Polymorph
by Torsten Bergmann March 16, 2010

March 16, 2010

Hi, one thing I really miss in the Pharo UI comparing to Squeak is an equivalent to "Projects". Hey - not that I want the "Projects" and related code back but I would like to see something along the lines of "virtual desktops" allowing you to switch between different desktops/Worlds in Polymorph using a simple keystroke. Dont know if others miss that too or hard that would be. Any comments? Thx Torsten -- GMX DSL: Internet, Telefon und Entertainment fÃ¼r nur 19,99 EUR/mtl.! http://portal.gmx.net/de/go/dsl02

[Pharo-project] SocketSteam: Switching ascii/binary modes
by Igor Stasenko March 16, 2010

March 16, 2010

Hello, it looks like its unsafe to switch between ascii/binary mode in SocketStream, because it resets buffers upon switch: binary "Tell the SocketStream to send data as ByteArrays instead of Strings. Default is ascii." binary := true. self resetBuffers The dynamic mode switching is useful: for instance i want to read HTTP headers first, which is preferable to do in ascii mode, but its contents may be binary , which obviously preferable to read in binary mode, to avoid extra conversions. Since SocketStream caching the data it reads, then instead of resetting the buffers it should convert them and avoid losing the data. What you think is an appropriate solution to this? -- Best regards, Igor Stasenko AKA sig.

by Miguel Enrique CobÃ¡ Martinez March 16, 2010

March 16, 2010

I'm pleased to announce that the ConfigurationOfMagma now includes support to load version 1.0r44 of Magma. In a Pharo or PharoCore 10515 RC3 image evaluate: Gofer it squeaksource: 'MetacelloRepository'; package: 'ConfigurationOfMagma'; load. In Squeak, using Monticello browser add package ConfigurationOfMagma from repository http://www.squeaksource.com/MetacelloRepository Then in Pharo and Squeak, evaluate in a workspace for getting Magma Client: (ConfigurationOfMagma project latestVersion) load: 'Client' for getting Magma Server: (ConfigurationOfMagma project latestVersion) load: 'Server' for getting Magma Tester: (ConfigurationOfMagma project latestVersion) load: 'Tester' Then if you want, run the test suite. Evaluate in a workspace: MagmaTestCase allowWriteBarrier: false. MagmaTestCase fullSuite maDebug. Cheers -- Miguel CobÃ¡ http://miguel.leugim.com.mx

[Pharo-project] FFI/Alien: Structures with arrrayed fields
by Schwab,Wilhelm K March 15, 2010

March 15, 2010

Hello all, I am faced with something like the following: struct complex { double real; imaginary; }; struct ugly { int gratuitousSize; long importantStuff[64]; complex * moreImportantStuff[64]; }; The question is how to explain this to FFI? The closest things I have found always seem to be byte arrays, so the "third element" in the arrays of #fields is not well-revealed. Does anyone know whether it is additive or multiplicative, and/or how to use it to make sense of the above struct? Bill

[Pharo-project] Strange drag behavior (Was Re: [ANN 1.0] RC3! #10515 pre-built core image)
by Igor Stasenko March 15, 2010

March 15, 2010

Guys, i noticed that when i left-clicking on a window title to start dragging it, i need to move mouse at least on 5-10 pixel into any direction before window start moving. If i keep moving in a small radius , around the point where i first clicked on it, it won't move. So, i could even circle endlessly with mouse without any effect :) On 15 March 2010 11:49, Adrian Lienhard <adi(a)netstyle.ch> wrote: > Hi all, > > This is PharoCore RC3 and we need your help! > > The plan is the following: > 1.
