I don't know how to put a ghost in the OB widgets though so that people can learn how to use it. My main concern with other navigation ways is that I need to pay attention to the selected pane to run a specific search (Find class works only in the left most pane, at least until now), and they do not necessarily accept a partial match (or have completion enabled, even by accident :)) > > The mercury panel is highly extensible, so maybe it would make sense > to move it into an externally maintained package? Yeah perhapsit does not belong to the browser. It seems more handy as a kind of launcher/quick search like Algernon (I have something like that also). > Lukas > > -- > Lukas Renggli > www.lukas-renggli.ch > > _______________________________________________ > Pharo-project mailing list > Pharo-project(a)lists.gforge.inria.fr > http://lists.gforge.inria.fr/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pharo-project -- Simon

Re: [Pharo-project] Alien Plugin for Linux

by Schwab,Wilhelm K

I share your interest. Just to fan the fires of healthy competition, Sig has posted code for a NativeBoost plugin on Linux. Stef will understand that I don't dare look at it until my grant proposal is submitted, but it is a step in the right direction. ________________________________________ From: pharo-project-bounces(a)lists.gforge.inria.fr [pharo-project-bounces(a)lists.gforge.inria.fr] On Behalf Of Fernando olivero [fernando.olivero(a)usi.ch] Sent: Monday, September 27, 2010 10:32 AM To: Pharo-project(a)lists.gforge.inria.fr Development Subject: [Pharo-project] Alien Plugin for Linux Hi, is there an Alien plugin for linux ?

[Pharo-project] About installing NativeBoost in Linux

by Fernando olivero

Hi Igor, great news that NativeBoost is available in Linux. In the installation page, in steps 1 and 2 you specify how to create a plugin/vm . The outcome is the vm for linux with NativeBoost support? Is there a prebuilt vm for linux available? Fernando pd: When would it be available for Mac OSX? How can we help?

Hello all, What is the state of sound in Pharo? On Linux? I can solve my current problem in various ways, including saving .wav files and playing them elsewhere, but options are always good. Bill

may be we could integrate that with the method finder? Now it would be good not to have to reimplement everything yet another time.
