I just started to use Pharo 1.0. So please bear with me since I may not fully understand the full concept of the IDE. Sometimes the whole IDE freezes indefinitely. So questions: 1) Looks like evaluating anything from the Workspace freezes the whole UI for the time of execution. Is it a bug or a feature?
all doits evaluated in UI process. So, this is a feature. And that's why UI process freezing, if you evaluating something lengthly. If you want to run your snippet of code in background, just wrap it with fork: [ ... do something... ] fork
2) Sometimes executing something freezes the UI indefinitely. Is there a way to cancel the operation (other than restarting the image)? Strangely in my case the IDE froze on evaluating HTTPSocket httpGet: 'http://www.pharo-project.org/home'
you can interrupt a currently running process by pressing Alt-.
Thank you, Andrei
