Hi brad No :) We removed it ;) because it was a mess but I would like to have have a better one. We could imagine morph to use a creation method with a pragma and that a tool would query that pragma and we could get the morph.
I agree that it was messy, from my inexperienced skillset. I would love to have a way to create projects or books and populate with graphics and multimedia for presentations. Pharo looks so nice and it seems to run quickly (could be my mind though) that it would be great to use.
we will remove BookMorph because it is a giant huge terrible mess. Now if you want multimedia publishing or creation have you look at openSophie?
I have looked at Sophie in a limited way.. First, it's Java now (hmmmm..) But, kidding aside, I didn't particularity like the way Sophie confined the space for objects. My perception might clearly be a result of my limited use of (Squeak) Sophie, perhaps John can steer me in the right direction. I also believe (Java) Sophie is just in alpha and Squeak Sophie is not maintained.
I just liked the way I could create presentations in Squeak - it seemed open and I could create any new objects or tweak the old by adjusting code.
I liked that too except that I lost my soul trying to do a loop to load projects for my presentation. In pharo there is bookmorph anymore (if someone wants to build a new one we would be happy but not one like the old one). I did a tiny project once to create slideMorph but this was not as complete as bookmorph but may be a start. Stef
