Instead of guessing, one can just use any of the Pharo search engine which allow to find anything in Pharo in a couple seconds. Using GTSpotter, typing 'Preferences' immediately shows as the first result the general and version preference folders, with location and contents. Using the class search feature of Nautilus [1], entering 'Preferences' shows only a couple classes, including StartupPreferencesLoader, which by name explicitly says this is responsible for loading the startup preferences. Looking at its comment we see: ... Print the result of "StartupPreferencesLoader preferencesGeneralFolder" which holds the startup scripts common to all versions of Pharo. Print the result of "StartupPreferencesLoader preferencesVersionFolder" which holds the startup scripts specific to the version of the current image. ... As Nicolas said, the address of the folder is different based on the OS version, OS settings, OS updates, the user rights of the person who started Pharo... That's why in StartupPreferencesLoader the way to find the path is documented and not the path itself.

Esteban's ChangeLog week of 23 October 2017

by estebanlm＠gmail.com

Hello! This is my weekly ChangeLog, from 23 October 2017 to 29 October 2017. You can see it in a better format by going here: http://log.smallworks.eu/web/search?from=23/10/2017&to=29/10/2017 ChangeLog ========= 26 October 2017: ---------------- * I spent far too much time backporting 0.6.2 to Pharo 6.1, but now is done :) 25 October 2017: ---------------- * ... and iceberg 0.6.2 hit Pharo 7.0a :) * I just released [Iceberg v0.6.2](https://github.com/pharo-vcs/iceberg/releases/tag/v0.6.2) Now I need to * update Pharo 7.0 * backport to Pharo 6.1 * I backported latest [metacello](http://github.com/metacello/metacello) to Pharo 6.1 This is needed to now backport iceberg (0.6.2) 24 October 2017: ---------------- * And now I took the oportunity to modify zeroconf to *not* download sources if release >= 7.0 (the image comes with sources anyway). * I just changed the way zeroconf works to restore its original purpose. Turns out, at some moment we introduced a change to ask users if an override will happen. But this is a problem because zeroconf is designed to be used on CI environments, where human interaction does not have a place. I restored the old behaviour, but now I'm creating a backup of files already existing. This way if someone has an error and executes zeroconf in the wrong place, previous images will not be lost. 23 October 2017: ---------------- * I spend some days last week woking with the guys of AFI ([http://afi-sa.fr](http://afi-sa.fr), yes they also use Pharo in some of their projects) and together we recovered SeasideTesting from Davis Shaffer to be used for their TDD experience. you can check it out here: [https://github.com/Afibre/SeasideTesting](https://github.com/Afibre/Seaside… Whatâs SeasideTesting? A package to test Seaside components. Why we do not use Parasol? Because it is based on selenium and that makes the process slow. Where can I know more? * there is some documentation here (for VW, I think): [http://www.shaffer-consulting.com/david/Seaside/TestingComponents/TestingCo… * some slides here (on squeak): [http://esug.org/data/ESUG2005/Wednesday/2005-ESUG-Shaffer.pdf](http://esug.… but all that is old. Best way is to just install and see the tests, as always, cheers! Esteban
