Re: [Pharo-dev] [Glass] Is there a Smalltalk way to lock a file?

Not aware of a way to do it directly...

Is there a Smalltalk way to lock a file?

by Mariano Martinez Peck

Hi guys, Do we have a method to lock a file at the OS level? I searched in image but I cannot find anything. If it would work in gemstone too that would be nice. Thanks! -- Mariano http://marianopeck.wordpress.com

thumbs up to Pharo3 from Yesplan

by Johan Brichau

Hi everyone, I want to send a thumbs up to everyone working on Pharo, coming from the Yesplan.be team. Over the past few months, we have been working on migrating the development of Yesplan from Pharo1.4 to Pharo3.0 (yes, we did skip Pharo2.0). I have been working in Pharo3 exclusively since January and have seen the tools evolve and improve. Up until last week, my colleagues were still working on Pharo1.4 because we needed to ensure continued development on the product itself. So the application is completely cross-platform Pharo1.4, Pharo3.0 and Gemstone2.4 (verified by 4082 automated tests). My time is limited right now (stress before leaving on a week holiday), but if you are interested, I intend to write up more feedback. There are issues we are trying to investigate ourselves, but obviously we are not time-efficient diving into unknown code. Keep up the good work! Johan

These are different things: - Eye tools are a reimplementation of the classic tools - GTInspector and friends try to break new ground, reinvent ideas and concepts For me this is not an either-or discussion, both have their place and are important. And it is perfectly possible to use a Moose image as a starting point, that is absolutely fine, but again, it is not either-or but and-and.

Re: [Pharo-dev] EyeTreeInspector not ready for prime-time

It would be great if we could reach an effective goal: having a super cool inspector and avoiding reinventing all this. GTInspector is truly effective and usable. Maybe we should change the name of the moose image into Pharo-Dev or something. Alexandre On Mar 13, 2014, at 8:51 AM, Sean P.

Re: [Pharo-dev] EyeTreeInspector not ready for prime-time

Sean, The previous tools had quirks as well, lets try to fix the issues one by one, can't be that big a problem with your UI/Morph/Spec skills ;-) I find the Eye tools pretty cool, they do improve certain aspects (like sharing between inspector/explorer, making it easy to add custom extensions), there is just some polish needed.
