One complaint about Pharo
by David Astels May 18, 2014

May 18, 2014

One of the big issues I have with Pharo is that Iâm stuck on a single screen, unlike Cincom Smalltalk that uses separate OS windows that I can spread over multiple screens. Iâm assuming this is a hard limit in OSX, but itâs a bit annoying. Yes, Self has the same issue, and itâs just as annoying. Dave

Method recategorization - call for help
by Pavel Krivanek May 17, 2014

May 17, 2014

Hi, if you would like to contribute to better Pharo modularization and you do not know how, I have a tip for you. Following methods are extension methods of various packages that extend classes in Morphic-Core package. We need to move them directly to Morphic-Core package so we have to place them in different categories. Example: Morph organization classify: #handleMouseWheel: under: 'events-processing'. Morph organization classify: #handlesMouseWheel: under: 'events-processing' Methods: Morph organization classify: #layoutChanged under: 'recategorized'. PasteUpMorph organization classify: #resizeBackgroundMorph under: 'recategorized'. PasteUpMorph organization classify: #backgroundMorph under: 'recategorized'. Color organization classify: #fillRectangle:on: under: 'recategorized'. Morph organization classify: #rejectsEvent: under: 'recategorized'. Morph organization classify: #privateMoveBy: under: 'recategorized'. Morph organization classify: #rejectsEvent: under: 'recategorized'. Morph organization classify: #changed under: 'recategorized'. Morph organization classify: #handlesDropShadowInHand under: 'recategorized'. Morph organization classify: #layoutChanged under: 'recategorized'. Morph organization classify: #morphicLayerNumberWithin: under: 'recategorized'. Morph organization classify: #morphicLayerNumberWithin: under: 'recategorized'. Morph organization classify: #handlesMouseOver: under: 'recategorized'. Morph organization classify: #privateMoveBy: under: 'recategorized'. Morph organization classify: #rejectsEvent: under: 'recategorized'. Morph organization classify: #changed under: 'recategorized'. Morph organization classify: #handlesDropShadowInHand under: 'recategorized'. Morph organization classify: #ayoutChanged under: 'recategorized'. Morph organization classify: #morphicLayerNumberWithin: under: 'recategorized'. Morph organization classify: #handlesMouseOver: under: 'recategorized'. HandMorph organization classify: #fullDrawOn: under: 'recategorized'. HandMorph organization classify: #fullDrawOn: under: 'recategorized'. PasteUpMorph organization classify: #resizeBackgroundMorph under: 'recategorized'. PasteUpMorph organization classify: #handlerForMouseDown: under: 'recategorized'. PasteUpMorph organization classify: #backgroundMorph under: 'recategorized'. PasteUpMorph organization classify: #resizeBackgroundMorph under: 'recategorized'. PasteUpMorph organization classify: #handlerForMouseDown: under: 'recategorized'. PasteUpMorph organization classify: #backgroundMorph under: 'recategorized'. Color organization classify: #fillRectangle:on: under: 'recategorized'. That is not all. There is a lot of methods that do not need to be in Morphic-Core package. Most of them will be moved to Morphic-Base package but it is not good to place them directly to '*Morphic-Base' category. We should create categories like '*Morphic-Base-something' or place this methods to some more fitting packages. WorldMorph class organization classify: #installNewWorld under: '*Morphic-Base'. BorderStyle class organization classify: #raised under: '*Morphic-Base'. BorderStyle class organization classify: #complexAltRaised under: '*Morphic-Base'. BorderStyle class organization classify: #complexAltFramed under: '*Morphic-Base'. BorderStyle class organization classify: #complexAltInset under: '*Morphic-Base'.

BorderStyle class organization classify: #complexInset under: '*Morphic-Base'. BorderStyle class organization classify: #width:color: under: '*Morphic-Base'. BorderStyle class organization classify: #complexRaised under: '*Morphic-Base'. BorderStyle class organization classify: #complexFramed under: '*Morphic-Base'.

[ANN]: Tiny Gmail Contact Importer
by Sean DeNigris May 16, 2014

May 16, 2014

I wrote a tiny utility to work with Gmail contacts. It is very basic and just maps an export file in the Outlook format to GmailContact objects. It doesn't support the Google CSV format - the field order and names are different, and the file is UTF16-encoded. Enjoy! Gofer it smalltalkhubUser: 'SeanDeNigris' project: 'SeansPlayground'; package: 'GmailContact'; load. #GmailContact asClass importAllFromOutlookExport: â/path/to/contacts.csv' asFileReference.

Spotlight
by phil＠highoctane.be May 16, 2014

May 16, 2014

Hello, There are a couple of things that do get on my nerves with Spotlight, namely that it lists all kinds of symbols that have nothing to do in the search list, e.g. Globals (Display), old classes that aren't there anymore etc. that it is on the top right,making me look away from the code etc. I want this in the middle of the screen, like in Eclipse for example. Also, if I type in Display, I'd like to inspect it right away (I know I can do that with :<expr> but still> as I forget it all the time, I've put a reminder in the box). Next, I do not want to search, I want to find, so, ghosttext changed accordingly. So, I had a look and changed it to be the way I wanted. It is much more usable that way as far as I am concerned. If you want to try this, just file in the attached change set or get https://gist.github.com/philippeback/f43447ec2bddcd3f9b84 What would also nice it to be able to have the autocompletion list wider. Any idea on how to do just that? (yes, I have long class names...) Feedback welcome. Phil

Hi, anybody knows how it's generated the online docs in pharodocs<http://files.pharo.org/doc/3.0> ?. Is there a package or script that can be applied to an specific set of packages? Thanks, Gabriel.

SmalltalkHub username/password in environment variable?
by Mircea Filip Lungu May 15, 2014

May 15, 2014

Hi folks, Is there a way of setting the SmalltalkHub username and password in an environment variable or an external configuration file as opposed to setting them in every repository in every image? It gets old introducing them always :) Cheers, M. -- Mircea Lungu, PhD. Researcher Software Composition Group University of Bern

ConfigurationOfIDE and issue 12601
by Pavel Krivanek May 15, 2014

May 15, 2014

Hi, I finally found some time to investigate why the job PharoKernel3.0-FromTopShrink-Reload that tries to load ConfigurationOfIDE to a shrinked image does not work. The raised errors are misleading. The main problem is that during atomic load of the packages in the configuration nothing is really done. No error is raised, the process writes "Finished atomic load" but no package is loaded. So I was looking for an update that has broken it. It was the update 30781 that integrates the issue https://pharo.fogbugz.com/f/cases/12601. Still not sure why. Cheers, -- Pavel
