Re: [Pharo-project] Startup Preferences

by Schwab,Wilhelm K

Ben, Whatever you, Stef and others find helpful is fine by me. My guess would be that having one extra settings file to copy would be a minor hassle compared to providing sources (or symlink to same), a vm, and probably a shell script to make the thing go. Put another way, what do you do to make using "random" images so easy that copying a file is a big pain? I'm missing out on something :) Bill ________________________________________ From: pharo-project-bounces(a)lists.gforge.inria.fr [pharo-project-bounces(a)lists.gforge.inria.fr] on behalf of Benjamin [benjamin.vanryseghem.pharo(a)gmail.com] Sent: Saturday, November 19, 2011 1:20 PM To: Pharo-project(a)lists.gforge.inria.fr Subject: Re: [Pharo-project] Startup Preferences The problem is when you download 4-5 images per day, each in a different folder :) Ben On Nov 19, 2011, at 6:02 PM, Schwab,Wilhelm K wrote: > FWIW, I thought there is a way to put a preferences file in the image directory to achieve this??

I always build everything from a new image. It is my process. and I try to throw away images as fast as I can (but not fast enoughâ¦ when I see all the images I have around :).

Re: [Pharo-project] how to get a string read stream from filesystem

by StÃ©phane Ducasse

The problem is that now we should not open a new task.

On an other side, wouldnt be handy if renameAs: returns a new FSReference to the newly created file (or update the location of the current one)? On 03/11/11 08:09, Sean P.

Hi Sean, I've tested it on my mac it seems to work fine. Have you tested it on Linux? If so, May I update the ConfigurationOfFilesytem to include your fix? Francois On 03/11/11 08:09, Sean P.
