hey sounds nice :)

does it save version after version right? (like not overwriting the same files)?

Dear Pharo Community,

I would like to share with you the work of my past weekend, and
announce "CategorySaver".

It is a simple utility to periodically save (file-out) a list of
categories given (wildcards accepted).

You can find it here:

http://smalltalkhub.com/#!/~sebnozzi/CategorySaver

And invoke it like this:

CategorySaverPanel new openInWorld

What motivated me to do this was loosing hours of work after image
"hang-ups", without having saved before. In those cases I thought that
it would be cool to have some kind of background process, that at
least saved some recent version of the code I was working on. But only
now I got myself to write it.

Hopefully you are not like me, you know what you are doing, the VM
never hangs on you, and don't need this utility ;-) For all others I
hope you might find it helpful.

Best regards,


Sebastian

P.S. I am kind of a Smalltlak newbie. So if you find things to improve
in the code, I am glad about any tip / critique.
P.S. 2 -- I was amazed at how easy it was to code the UI! UI
programming in Squeak/Pharo was always an area where I thought must be
incredible complicated, but thanks to UITheme's builder (Polymorph?)
it's a breeze. Good work!
P.S. 3 -- Did I have to manually add [ANN] to the subject? My
apologies in this case. Also my apologies if this kind of mails
correspond to only one of the lists.
