Not only that, but is this also a practical way to make a small, special-purpose image? For example, what would it take to imprint onto your 300K image from, say, a standard Squeak 4.2 image, just the methods needed to run one method specified by the user, which would cause all kinds of other methods to be faulted into the target image, but still end up with considerably less than the entirety of the 4.2 image? - Chris

[Pharo-project] UITheme builder fileSave:...
by Alexandre Bergel June 21, 2011

June 21, 2011

Hi! I would like to use the builder to have a file selection. Here is my code: -=-=--=-=-=--=-=-=--=-=-=--=-=-=--= interactiveExportWith: imageWriterClass extension: fileExtension "Ask for a file name and a directory" | fileStream | fileStream := UITheme builder fileSave: 'Your title here' extensions: #('png') path: nil. "Very strange that I obtain a stream". fileStream ifNil: [ self inform: 'saving aborded'. ^ self ]. fileStream close. FileDirectory deleteFilePath: fileStream name. self exportWith: imageWriterClass fullname: fileStream name. -=-=--=-=-=--=-=-=--=-=-=--=-=-=--= I have no idea why fileSave:extensions:path: return a stream. If I just need a full file name ? Cheers, Alexandre -- _,.;:~^~:;._,.;:~^~:;._,.;:~^~:;._,.;:~^~:;._,.;: Alexandre Bergel http://www.bergel.eu ^~:;._,.;:~^~:;._,.;:~^~:;._,.;:~^~:;._,.;:~^~:;.

[Pharo-project] Gofer dependent on Zinc
by Pavel Krivanek June 21, 2011

June 21, 2011

Hi, I would like to point out to one new Pharo feature that is a potential issue. The package Zinc-Patch-HTTPSocket stole the ownership of several methods from the class HTTPSocket. That means that now this package doesn't act as an overlay patch. The consequences are not fatal. It only means that now the Gofer package that uses this methods is dependent on Zinc and it makes a headless Gofer image a little bit larger and less clean. Cheers, -- Pavel

why (UIManager default newPluggableDialogWindow: 'Pharo is cool') openInWorld does not work? Apparently MorphicUIManager is missing something? Stef
