VistaCursors are killing my LinuxVM (beCursor primitive failing)
by phil＠highoctane.be March 29, 2014

March 29, 2014

I moved a windows image with VistaCursors to Linux and the beCursor primitive failed, leading to a white screen opening. Maybe this is because the cursors are bigger than the 16x16 form. I saw discussions of this being fixed in Squeak. Are we having this issue in Pharo? Phil

The 0.9.2 baseline only has a pharo3.x version, and that is the one getting buildâ¦ The tests in the Pharo2 version donât seem to catch that :) Iâm not sure why it kills the vm. It hopes to connect to a local mongodb. 0.9.2-baseline might load in 2 by removing the 3.x, but I havenât tried. I canât commit in NicolasPetton/SmalltalkHub Stephan

Release Mode

While I was on holiday, it seems my dear friends have gone feature crazy... almost as bad as me in the run up to the 2.0 release, ha ha. As cool as they are, are: - changing the look of Nautilus buttons - evaluate arbitrary expressions in Spotlight - etc, etc showstopping bugs?! This beta time is reserved specifically for finding the bugs that may inevitably be introduced with these enhancements. We really may be creating a mess, as end users find them in our "stable" release instead. ----- Cheers, Sean -- View this message in context: http://forum.world.st/Release-Mode-tp4751408.html Sent from the Pharo Smalltalk Developers mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Capturing stdout
by Sean P. DeNigris March 29, 2014

I want to write a test for an NB Mac system call example (Issue 13147). I can check the exit code easily, the output goes to stdout of the image. Can I capture it somehow? thx :) ----- Cheers, Sean -- View this message in context: http://forum.world.st/Capturing-stdout-tp4751320.html Sent from the Pharo Smalltalk Developers mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Iâm a bit confused here. I get the impression that people are reacting here on the old buttons, not the current ones. At least in the issue comments Phil is, and I got the impression Torsten is too. Please be clear in your comments where you are referring to. Stephan

Every class should redefine printOn:
by Pharo4Stef March 28, 2014

March 28, 2014

Hi guys Iâm trying to understand freeType and when I debug I get aBlah aFoo and this is frankly annoying because Iâm trying to learn the implementation and it does not help me at all. I hate the classes that only their implementors understand. In Pharo 4.0 I will put a strict rule: - no class will be integrated if they do not redefine printOn: - I will set a general rules to check printOn: methods. printOn: methods are the first debugging information.

Would you be so kind to explain what you do not like about them, and compare to both the earlier ones and this proposal? - I donât like that they donât adapt good enough to the chosen theme, they only fit with the Pharo3Theme; - I donât like that they do not show well that S and B provide two mutually exclusive views while I and C provide direct actions; - I donât like that they donât show well when they can be used; - I donât iike that S and B donât show the current state well - I donât like that you need the help text on hover to understand what they are for. - I donât like the alignment. This browser I look at so much, it deserves to have the letters aligned vertically correctly (visually, so C a few pixels to the left, I to the right); The main advantages they have in my opinion are: - They fit the theme; - They take much less attention away from the contents.

One is integrated, the other not. 13137 The SBIC buttons change is ok, afaik. 13135 exposes lotâs of issues in the tools. All kinds of off-by-ones in sizes. I also prefer the scrollbar fixes (13136) Stephan
