Hi, I wanted to better understand the issues raised agains the (new) Transcript. Many people are arguing against the current Morph widget displaying the Transcript, complaining that it is read only. The fix is simple, provide a new implementation of TranscriptMorph , which provides cut & paste, scrolling , and the other functionality previously there. This is the announcement on the benefits of the new transcript made by Juan. New Transcript Fast (Calls return quickly) Fast (Updates are immediate) Thread safe Can log to file in addition to Display Display output is optional (for headless images) Can work on a bare bones image (Doesn't need UI, dependency, events, processes) Optional morphic window for seamless integration in Morphic UI framework agnostic. Can be used to debug Morphic, even with the morphic window open, without crashing the image! No longer a text editor. Display is read only. So according to the mails in the list, Pharo disagrees on the last issue, but this means only improving the TranscriptMorph. I dont have time to work on it, but will next week. Are people actually complaining against the (new) Transcript model? or just the TranscriptMorph missing features ? I recall Igor, wanting the Transcript to be polymorphic with the protocol of a WriteStream. Which is already there. Thanks, Fernando
