[Pharo-project] An ideal to strive for
by Sean P. DeNigris Jan. 8, 2012

I love this Tony Hoare quote: "There are two ways of constructing a software design: One way is to make it so simple that there are obviously no deficiencies and the other is to make it so complicated that there are no obvious deficiencies." -- View this message in context: http://forum.world.st/An-ideal-to-strive-for-tp4274780p4274780.html Sent from the Pharo Smalltalk mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

[Pharo-project] Bug reports: 2 of 6:
by S Krish Jan. 7, 2012

Jan. 7, 2012

2. bug with mouseUp not passing through for event handling with on:send:to: target... click all over the World and you will keep getting the dialog though you are not clicking the morph. #clickClient in MouseClickState holds the morph as the recipient morph for clicks.. rather than the modal dialog.. ( SimpleButtonMorph new extent: 80@60 ; label: 'test' ; on:#click send: #value to:[ UIManager default inform: 'test']; color: Color red) openInWorld.

5. SimpleButtonMorph>> updateVisualState: evt flashes the button with a color fill. For buttons that I have bitmap style, this is annoying.. ? I can override.. but better not have this for default buttons..?

[Pharo-project] Bug Report: 3 of 6; Image freeze
by S Krish Jan. 7, 2012

Jan. 7, 2012

3. Image Freeze: Anything that hits #fullBounds with a byteString instead of a Morph does not simply handle it... but freezes. This occurs with an external Table Morph Package that permits constructing a grid of morphs, but if you pass the 'string' instead of 'string' asMorph.. it takes it.. but when opening freezes similar to if we put a break point on Morph>>fullBounds/ processEvent:using: ... Alt . with an image that has Sound package loaded, causes a dialog for choosing a Sound Package that is all disabled and freezes the image

[Pharo-project] Pharo by Example
by Gerry Weaver Jan. 7, 2012

Jan. 7, 2012

Hello All, I'm new to Pharo and SmallTalk. I am trying to follow "Pharo by Example", but my Pharo browser is not the same. I tried to follow the FAQ about how to fix that, but the drop down menu doesn't look the same either. Should I be using a different version of Pharo? I'm using 1.3. Thanks, Gerry

[Pharo-project] Smart bracketing annoyance
by Ben Coman Jan. 7, 2012

Jan. 7, 2012

I am still coming to terms with the "smart" bracketing where pressing the open-round-bracket key also produces a close-round-bracket, but I'm working on adapting. One thing that is ultra-annoying and that could be smarter is where for instance, being new to Smalltalk, I have got my round and square brackets mixed up preceding an ifTrue:. So I highlight the open-round-bracket, press the open-square-bracket expecting it to be replaced (like every other system I've dealt with) and surprise* now I've got the original round-bracket surrounded by two new square-brackets. If it instead found the matching close-round-bracket and changed both round-brackets to square-brackets, that would be cool rather than frustrating. The same applies to trying to correct string quotes and comment quotes. I hope that sounds reasonable and it would nice if it could be changed. cheers, Ben *surprise - not good for people new to the software you are trying to impress

[Pharo-project] happy new year plus cogdroid news

Thanks Alain for trying it out. More user experience means better feedback for further code improvement. > - keyboard improvements : no way to get alt or ctl key working so far Some code for keyboard support has been written since, but maybe it was not included in the pre-generated apks. Once I add more features, I'll release another apk. And sources (on gitorious) are always there for those wanting to mess with Android build tools ;) > - new theme for tablet (bigger fonts, bigger scrollbars etc) (I started to > look at this) Yes, this would be nice to have. And take a look at Honeycomb/ICS: maybe some ideas may be learned from their GUIs. The new trend seems to be to expose additional controls somewhere on the screen once the context for them is right * (e. g. when a downloaded file is selected by touching, icons to delete or share it appear somewhere). Also see the new gmail web interface. > - new smalltalk tools : browser, finder inspector (I will try a small > Glamourous browser ) It would be nice if a smaller base Pharo image could be built such way, so it could be embedded with VM and distributed together. > - reduce cpu usage (suspend/awake pharo process ? ) I think Android takes care of it itself: once an application is invisible it is suspended automatically. Or did you notice any performance degradation? > - interface to android content providers (audio, video, calendar data etc) Working on it ;) In fact, there is a (partial) interface to the intent system, so a home screen shortcuts can be added to start CogDroid with given image and startup arguments. Reading from Android clipboard has been committed to the HEAD (but there is no support via context menu yet). Thanks again. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ * That is, when e. g. a text edit box is active, items of the context menu appear somewhere on screen. Maybe halos could be revived with this new meaning? -- Dimitry Golubovsky Anywhere on the Web
