Then I do not get why / is expecting a string and cannot accept a path. Then I do not get why we have paths.

Re: [Pharo-dev] printString of fileReference sucks!

by Esteban A. Maringolo

Hi Stef, all, I've seen this "inconsistency" as well. The current printSting tries to be descriptive but isn't handy to work with. I would go one step further and have no #asFileReference suffix nor File @ prefix, it is: '/Users/ducasse/Workspace/FirstCircle/MyBooks/Bk-Writing/PharoBooks/Booklet-AMiniSchemeInPharo/_result' asFileReference printString >>> '/Users/ducasse/Workspace/FirstCircle/MyBooks/Bk-Writing/PharoBooks/Booklet-AMiniSchemeInPharo/_result' If for some reason the option chosen is to keep the current printString then the printString should be: >>> 'File @ ''/Users/ducasse/Workspace/FirstCircle/MyBooks/Bk-Writing/PharoBooks/Booklet-AMiniSchemeInPharo/_result''' It is, a string with three tokens, the class name, the @ symbol and a string as an argument, that way you can evaluate the result back. I prefer the first one, it enables you to work with files on workspaces, if you're using inspectors the printString doesn't matter much, since you're dealing with a specialized tool and there is no way you can confuse a FileReference with a regular String instance Best regards, Esteban A.

Re: [Pharo-dev] Change Pharo window icon

by Stephane Ducasse

Would it be possible to change the icon without having to compile a new VM? To me the current setup looks so monolithic and dated. I would expect that somebody can deploy a application with its own logo by just providing some new resources.

another file reference question

by Stephane Ducasse

HI I have the following scenario: '/Users/ducasse/Workspace/FirstCircle/MyBooks/Bk-Writing/PharoBooks/Booklet-AMiniSchemeInPharo/_result' asFileReference / 'book.pillar' >>> "File @ /Users/ducasse/Workspace/FirstCircle/MyBooks/Bk-Writing/PharoBooks/Booklet-AMiniSchemeInPharo/_result/book.pillar" ok it works. I want to update the contents of a target folder only if a file is missing or too old compared to a source. The idea is that I have a target folder and I need to know if a file located in the source tree should be copied under the target. So I compute the difference from the root of the source to the file and I want to apply this path to the target to check some file properties. now I do not understand how I can get the following working: '/Users/ducasse/Workspace/FirstCircle/MyBooks/Bk-Writing/PharoBooks/Booklet-AMiniSchemeInPharo/_result' asFileReference / ('/Users/ducasse/Workspace/FirstCircle/MyBooks/Bk-Writing/PharoBooks/Booklet-AMiniSchemeInPharo/book.pillar' asFileReference path) relativeTo: ('/Users/ducasse/Workspace/FirstCircle/MyBooks/Bk-Writing/PharoBooks/Booklet-AMiniSchemeInPharo' asFileReference path) Stef
