[Pharo-project] Issue 1554
by Danny Chan Dec. 10, 2009

Dec. 10, 2009

Hi! I just uploaded my first fix (or so I hope) for Pharo to the Inbox as Ocompletion-DannyChan.44, following the instructions on the wiki for contributions. When selecting a text in a workspace including the first character in the window and hitting backspace, an exception will be thrown by ocompletion, because the smartBackspace method will try to look at the character before the current position of the caret, which is 0 in this case. The instructions on the wiki say to put the status of the bug report to fixed, but I saw no way to do this. Did I miss something? By the way, I want to thank all of you for the great work you put into Pharo. I am no software developer myself, but I really hope to be able to use it for all the little tools I need all the time at work. Danny

[Pharo-project] New User Experience Suggestion for 1.0
by Tim Mackinnon Dec. 9, 2009

Dec. 9, 2009

Guys - do you think you might consider bringing back the little Readme Workspace in the final 1.0 image (or maybe 1.1)? For new users - the blank screen is a bit intimidating, and with Pharo looking pretty good these days - I think new users are tempted to try it out - however its not easy to get started with a blank screen. I recall ages ago (and maybe this was the old Squeak image) there was a workspace with a few instructions - like the url to launch your web browser against - and a comment with the username and password for administering seaside. It's probably handy to have the url for Pharo by example as well as the Seaside online book. And finally a few doits and tips for launching a Class browser and common preferences to consider changing. I'm not sure if this is easy to do in your distribution script (hopefully it is a script) - and I also don't want to introduce anything risky into 1.0 (I am constantly anxious that some of the changes whizzing by are going into 1.0 - and stability is of the essence to get a good solid release out). But certainly it would make the initial new user experience that little bit better. Tim

[Pharo-project] gofer is cooooool
by StÃ©phane Ducasse Dec. 9, 2009

Dec. 9, 2009

now with the pull I could dl all the petitParser...coral and work in the library without net. My gut feeling is that you will soon do Sync :) Here is what I do rigth now. I imagine that soon or later somebody will do a simple interface or add button to MCBrowser to do that with one menu. sync "to sync local and remote repositories" "self sync" Gofer new squeaksource: 'Coral'; addVersion: 'Coral'; addVersion: 'LoadCoral'; push. Gofer new squeaksource: 'Coral'; addVersion: 'Coral'; addVersion: 'LoadCoral'; pull. Stef

[Pharo-project] DeprecationHistory
by Alain Plantec Dec. 9, 2009

Dec. 9, 2009

Hi all, One of my recents slice for preferences migration has made pharo nearly unusable because a lot of deprecation dialogs was opened for a single browser. Then, the user had to forbid the deprecation warnings in order to avoid these popups. Now, what about a non blocking window which is opened automatically when a deprecated method is run, but showing the list of recents deprecations ? A double click on a list item, et hop!, a browser is opened on the deprecated method. I've tried it on the last pharo image and it seems ok. With it, it is still always possible to let deprecation warning without having to close any dialog window. What do you think ? A screenshot is attached. Cheers Alain
