Re: [Pharo-project] Startup Preferences

by Schwab,Wilhelm K

FWIW, I thought there is a way to put a preferences file in the image directory to achieve this?? I read that somewhere, I just never tried it. I typically use an image for a long time (still using 1.1.1 at the moment - it WORKS, ok<g>), so the prompts are perhaps less annoying to me than they would be to frequent image builders.

[Pharo-project] New SmalltalkHub preview online

by Nicolas Petton

Hi, We are happy to announce that we have a new preview of SmalltalkHub online at http://www/smalltalkhub.com We nuked the previous one, but we will probably keep the data longer this time. short changelog: - Better project inbox integration: (see the attached image) packages committed to the inbox can now be accepted directly from the web app (please try it :-)) - New widgets for package versions and version browser - Improved issue tracker - new timeline events with better infos - Improved RSS support - More meaningful emails - The usual bug fixes, including all reported issues (thanks everyone for reporting them) Cheers, Nico

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

by Lukas Renggli

As I just wrote a few days ago, you must use #fileStreamDo: or #fileStreamWriteable:do: to get the traditional system stream that supports ascii/binary and various convertors. The streams built into FileSystem are minimal ANSI streams. They are supposed to be wrapped by something more powerful. I was told that Xtreams works well with FileSystem. Maybe Nile could be made to work as well?

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

by Tudor Girba

Hi, Thanks. I know that the ByteArray is the data structure, but I would like to get a stream that decodes the information and lets me traverse characters, rather than bytes. By retrieving "aReference readStream contents asString" I first get all the ByteArray in memory, and then create another string from it also in memory. If my file is large, this is not a feasible solution. Like Norbert said, I would like to get some support to have a converter in the stream. For example, outside of Filesystem, we can do something like: FileStream readOnlyFileNamed: 'aFileName'. stream converter: TextConverter default. So, I guess, the only way right now is to not use the FSStream, but to get from an FSReference to the FileStream. Do, we want to bring the FileStream closer to FileSystem?

[Pharo-project] Startup Preferences

by Benjamin

Hi guys, I did a little project which allow you to save a st script on your HDD in a preference folder (~/.pharo#{version} for unix based machine, not yet defined for windows) and run it each time an image is open. You can also decide for each item if you want it to be run each time or only once. I use it to set my author name, change the fonts, set some settings, add my password in some repo etc The code is here: Gofer new squeaksource: 'StartupPreferences'; package: 'StartupPreferences'; load. You can have a look at StartupLoader class>>#example and StartupLoader class>>#example2 If you have comments or ideas (by example, what is the path for preferences on windows ? ^^), you're welcome :) Ben
