Lets Talk about Pharo Help tool

The navigation is UI related anyway, so there is nothing that would speak against this. I left out the "parent" or "owner" explicitly in my design, why should the water drop know the sea ;) It is IMHO more flexible and makes it easier (as you have seen with the wiki pragma). Thx T.

by Volkert Barr Sept. 18, 2013

Dear all, i am using Roassal for visualizing applications dependencies and metrics of applications / applications clusters on enterprise architecture level. I would now do some experiments with DSM and found an older mailing list post that DSM support in Roassal is currently in development. That is cool :-) How can i tests this feature? It is not part of the latest Roassal (dev) version. Please help ... :-) BW, Volkert

if Pharo is key for you

It's up to you (since it is your project) but I would rather see a completely new help browser implementation based on Spec. Let me tell you why: I also wrote the Config browser for Pharo, initially "old style" with an #initWindow and then later converted it to be based on Spec with a #defaultSpec. It was much easier (even when there was no UI builder available at this time). It is now possible to combine it with the other tools AND use it in the new shiny UI builder. If you want to check load the latest version of the new UI painter: Gofer new smalltalkhubUser: 'ErwanDouaille' project: 'UIPainter'; configurationOf: 'UIPainter'; load. ((Smalltalk at: #ConfigurationOfUIPainter) project version: 'baseline-0.1') load go to "Tools" -> "UIPainter" and drag the MetacelloConfigurationBrowser or the MetacelloConfigurationBrowserPane from the "Model" node onto the canvas. So if a future help tool will be based on Spec as well it could easily be integrated into any future Pharo tool. So if you have cycles to spend on the help system please go for a Spec version, but as I said it is up to you. Thanks! Bye T.

Understand Icons in Pharo
by kilon Sept. 18, 2013

Sept. 18, 2013

Hello guys I try to hack the help tool and I wanted to add some additional buttons besides "refresh". I would like to add a "previous" , "next" and "up" button. Previous for going to previous page, next for next page and "up" for moving up on the hierarchy of topics and sub topics. In short standard help browsing navigation. I would like also to bind those buttons to keyboard shortcuts (probably arrow keys) to liberate from the use of mouse. The thing is I am not familiar with creating of icons. I think I have seen back and forth buttons in book widget in squeak. I could use those but I would like also to keep open the option of designing my buttons icons. Or maybe use existing ones I can find on the internet. So are there any hints how I can do all that ? -- View this message in context: http://forum.world.st/Understand-Icons-in-Pharo-tp4708501.html Sent from the Pharo Smalltalk Developers mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Can not open Browser on a given selector in 2.0
by Hilaire Fernandes Sept. 18, 2013

Sept. 18, 2013

With 1.4, I use to open programmatically a *mini* browser on a given selector with the following code: Browser newOnClass: Number selector: #/ Now it bring a DNU Retangle>>topOffset: I can use Nautilus but it opens a full complete browser and I don't want this. I can fix the code adding a asLayoutFrame (see cs) but then the browser does not open on the proper method. Hilaire

Issues trying to use NewList on Nautilus
by Nicolas Passerini Sept. 17, 2013

Sept. 17, 2013

Last Saturday in the Pharo Sprint in Buenos Aires, together with Mariano Peck and Guido Chari we have been trying to address issue 11605<https://pharo.fogbugz.com/default.asp?pre=preMultiSearch&pg=pgList&pgBack=p…>, i.e. using NewList in Nautilus. I am still trying to finish with this task, and I have a few questions, may be somebody here can enlighten me. We have encountered some problems with multiple selections. First, the list has 4 ValueModels for its selected elements: selectedIndex, selectedIndexes, selectedItem, selectedItems. I would like to understand more clearly how should we use them. In particular I find difficult to bring the plural versions and the singular versions together. If I select more than one element in the list, it seems that the value in the selectedItem/selectedIndex points to the last one I clicked. But then the model in Nautilus is receiving two updates, one from selectedItem/Index and the other from selectedItems/indexes, should we just ignore the singular one or what? Second, in my linux the list doesn't seem to receive ctrl+click events. Any clue about this? Finally, another question not related to multiple selections. The old list (it was a PluggableIconListMorph) has a "searchedElement" attribute. Looking at the categories list in Nautilus, the usage is so: if you have not selected any category (i.e. you are seeing the method of all categories in a class) and you click on a method in the method list, the searched element of the category list points to the category of the selected method. This is different from selecting the category, because selecting the category would filter the method list. It also highlights the category in a different color. So, my question is, should we keep this behaviour while migrating Nautilus to new lists o not? If the answer is yes, I would ask how to do it, because the NewList does not seem to have this feature. Should I add the searchedElement to the NewList or is there another way to achieve the same behavior?
