announcer "dispersion"
by stepharo Aug. 22, 2015

Aug. 22, 2015

Hi I was analysing the implementers of announcer and I think that there are far too many of them. To me this is the sign that we are doing something wrong. I would like to introduce an announcer in Model and make sure that most of the direct subclass of Object implementing an announcer take benefits of the Model one. What do you think? Stef

Metacello CI Build
by Sean P. DeNigris Aug. 22, 2015

Aug. 22, 2015

Dale has implemented some really cool Metacello features (e.g. bitbucket://, github://) after the version loaded in Pharo 4.0. To help us stay in sync, and also to provide a ready-made image with latest Metacello, I set up a CI build - https://ci.inria.fr/pharo-contribution/job/Metacello/ ----- Cheers, Sean -- View this message in context: http://forum.world.st/Metacello-CI-Build-tp4844932.html Sent from the Pharo Smalltalk Developers mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Nautilus questions
by Peter UhnÃ¡k Aug. 22, 2015

Aug. 22, 2015

Hi, maybe I'm too picky, but I have couple of questions/remarks regarding current Nautilus UI. Now, I'm happy that new features were added/reorganized, but it does feel it is a little bit chaotic right now. I would expect the left/right history buttons being right next to the History Navigator selector. That way history-related controls are together and the purpose of the buttons is obvious "Hier.", "Com."... abbreviating button labels? Really? âAnd finally, why was part of the buttons moved up? And part stayed down? I know that you wanted to distinguish "Scoped", because it opens a new browser, and Variables, because they have intermediate menu (and later open another menu). But I think the fact that Variables are tied to a particular selected class would make much more sense to place the button beside hierachy/class button. And opening Scoped can be denoted with an appropriate icon ( https://www.google.com/search?site=&tbm=isch&source=hp&biw=&bih=&q=new+wind… ) Placing them all on a single line would also save up vertical space, which considering we've added QualityAssistant and Rubric adds another line is quite valuable. (And finally the width of the buttons should perhaps match more closely the actual needs of the label, because now it's bit cramped.) â And finally, code-wise I've never really interacted with Morphic and stayed in Spec, so when I was digging through code it seems that the way Morphs are composed are through these "addMorph:fullFrame: (LayoutFrame identity rightFraction: 0.10; yourself);" constructs sprinkled haphazardly throughout the code. Is there nothing like SpecLayout? Maybe it wasn't so hard once you get used to Morphic, because I spent probably more time doing elementary changes to layout than learning half of Spec... (Also since Spec can interoperate with Morphic, maybe the layout could also be adapted? Or slowly migrate Nautilus to Spec (if there are even plans like that)?) Now as I've mentioned I'm not an UI/UX expert, but you don't need to be a chef to tell when food isn't great (which is of course amplified by personal tastes). So unless I am the only person bothered by this, I would like to raise a discussion (or send a slice, but the way I've done the layout weirds me out, so I still want to look into that regardless). Cheers, Peter

Design Question: Undefined vs. MyNullObject vs. #ifNil:
by Sean P. DeNigris Aug. 21, 2015

Aug. 21, 2015

I'm working on Issue 16136: "DateModel: Allow nil" https://pharo.fogbugz.com/default.asp?16136 The idea is that DateModel should allow the possibility of no date (i.e. date = nil) because some applications require this. Here are three possible implementations: 1. #ifNil: checks; I already implemented this simple solution in Spec-PolyWidgets-SeanDeNigris.59 (Pharo 4.0 based) and committed to http://smalltalkhub.com/mc/SeanDeNigris/SeansOutbox/main/ 2. Use UndefinedObject as a null object; this would probably require adding an extension message to both Date and UndefinedObject, because it must be specific enough not to reasonably conflict with other users 3. Use a custom NoDate Null Object; the obvious advantage is that Date remains unchanged, and NoDate just gets a (very) partial implementation of its protocol; the disadvantage is that an extra class is introduced into Core. Which, as a general guideline, do we prefer in Core? #3 seems to be the universal OOP advice, butâ¦ ----- Cheers, Sean -- View this message in context: http://forum.world.st/Design-Question-Undefined-vs-MyNullObject-vs-ifNil-tp… Sent from the Pharo Smalltalk Developers mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
