[Pharo-project] StartupPreferences hardcoded again :(

by Mariano Martinez Peck

Hi. As part of my changes (and Ben Coman) we removed the hardcoded preferences directory. Previously we had: preferencesRootFolder ^ (self default ascendingSearchForDirectory: self configFolderLocalName) directoryNamed: 'pharo'. Now it is hardcoded again: FileLocator preferences / 'pharo' / 'general'. meaning I have an error because Path / 'Users' / 'mariano' / 'Library' / 'Preferences' / 'pharo' / 'general' does not exist. what was wrong with the previous implementation? -- Mariano http://marianopeck.wordpress.com

Re: [Pharo-project] Why a separate book image and development image? Why PDF?

Hi Do you want to have an account on the collaborative book? So that you can fix what you do not like.

Suggestion: get new readers to use *only* the latest image. Also, use the collaboractiv book as the main tutorial documentation, rather than PDF book. Then the problem with documentation becoming dated will be solved. If a new reader finds the documentation doesn't agree with the software (after an update) then he can flag the problem........ I guess this is why you have a collaboractiv book!? So, I'm sorry if I'm teaching you to suck eggs; look at my comment as a vote for the collaboractiv book, and for it being placed up front. PDF is so 20th century...

They serve different users and different moment in time. I can read PBE on the beach or in bed before sleeping. Reading PBE is a long term process that will give you a basic understanding of everything in Pharo. The interactive tutorial is more something to start playing with Pharo when you just heard about it and you want to try. > The collaboractiv PEB enables readers to actively collaborate in fixing the > bugs in the documentation. yes. If you want, you can help by writing on the collabor'active book. -- Damien Cassou http://damiencassou.seasidehosting.st "Lambdas are relegated to relative obscurity until Java makes them popular by not having them."

Didn't quite work - the image launched but an "Error: Invalid utf8 input detected" ST dialog box was thrown up. Why not ditch the PBE image and update the documentation to fit the latest image using PEB collaboractiv? -- View this message in context: http://forum.world.st/Where-is-the-PBE-VM-tp4635676p4635688.html Sent from the Pharo Smalltalk mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Re: [Pharo-project] Integrated interactive tutorial?

by Malcolm Macgregor

Once you have placed it in the download image I'd be happy to download the image again - thereby killing two birds with one stone (i.e. getting the tutorial for me, and testing the download for everyone!) Then again - I'm not sure I want the interactive tutorial (IT)! Why have a separate IT and PEB? Does IT have all the material in PEB? Is it sensible to have an interactive tutorial inside Pharo? The collaboractiv PEB enables readers to actively collaborate in fixing the bugs in the documentation. How can you do this with the interactive tutorial? If IT & PEB cover the same material how do you manage version control and synchronization? -- View this message in context: http://forum.world.st/Integrated-interactive-tutorial-tp4635662p4635685.html Sent from the Pharo Smalltalk mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
