Re: [Pharo-dev] New Image Command Line Handlers

by phil＠highoctane.be

Good news. If by default on Windows, it would be another default than pharo\ it would be great as it would be nicer with zeroconf fetching pharo-ui and pharo (headless) Are those changes going to find their way in Pharo 2.0?

New Image Command Line Handlers

by Sean P. DeNigris

We (Cami, Ben, and I) added some command line options to control preference loading, which seem useful e.g. for integrators and in my original use case of running an image off a USB stick on a foreign computer and not wanting to pick up those preferences There are two new flags: 1. --no-default-preferences = don't load from any of the default locations 2. --preference-file [/full/path/to/file.st] = load this one They are independent, so there are four options now: 1 | 2 | - current behavior x - don't load any preferences x - load the defaults and this additional x x - only load the specified file (not the defaults) ----- Cheers, Sean -- View this message in context: http://forum.world.st/New-Image-Command-Line-Handlers-tp4713693.html Sent from the Pharo Smalltalk Developers mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Re: [Pharo-dev] ShortRunArray not in Pharo 3.0 anymore, leading to problems with FFI-Kernel-tbn.25

I think that's the right decision even if you could get it loaded. I wouldn't deploy on a beta version of Pharo (no matter how tempting all the cool new features are!!)... ----- Cheers, Sean -- View this message in context: http://forum.world.st/ShortRunArray-not-in-Pharo-3-0-anymore-leading-to-pro… Sent from the Pharo Smalltalk Developers mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
