Please, No Restate-the-selector Method Comments

I'd like to see the removal of comments like: StandardWindow>>#title "Answer tht window title." Here we have a comment that adds no value, but adds to the maintenance burden because there is a typo. ----- Cheers, Sean -- View this message in context: http://forum.world.st/Please-No-Restate-the-selector-Method-Comments-tp4821… Sent from the Pharo Smalltalk Developers mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

running the vm from within a dll

by Stefan Krecher

Hi all, i know this topic was discussed from time to time but I'm not sure if there is a simple answer. Can the VM be compiled to a windows dll, so pharo could get started from another dll and would exchange events? It is probably a similar approach to the one Andreas Raab did for the android/ squeak port back in 2010. He compiled squeak as a shared library and started it on Android via a Java wrapper. I had a short conversation on that with Andreas on this years ago and it sounded very easy. I had the impression that he did this on one evening and it just worked. The code looked simple too. But maybe it was that easy because Andreas was a super-smart guy ... Anyway - would this architecture fit with a dll-scario (having a dll that starts pharo, which itself runs in a dll)? Regards Stefan

Configuration Browser: Refresh doesn't add new configs

by Sean P. DeNigris

1. Open a Configuration Browser 1.5 (not sure if this matters) I had switched the metaRepo to my own 2. Add a config to the currently shown repo 3. Choose Refresh from the context menu The new config will not appear. Should I open an issue? ----- Cheers, Sean -- View this message in context: http://forum.world.st/Configuration-Browser-Refresh-doesn-t-add-new-configs… Sent from the Pharo Smalltalk Developers mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

SystemWindow vs. StandardWindow

by Sean P. DeNigris

Is this distinction necessary? I started digging when I noticed that SystemWindow>>#label and #setLabel: becomes StandardWindow>>#title and #title. Wouldn't it be better to just push #title up if we like that API better? It's exhausting to manage all these tiny (and possibly unnecessary) differences... ----- Cheers, Sean -- View this message in context: http://forum.world.st/SystemWindow-vs-StandardWindow-tp4821655.html Sent from the Pharo Smalltalk Developers mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
