How come?

Maybe I should have chosen 'Multiple desktops' as the subject line.

I just downloaded Pharo 1.4 a few days ago and with only one screen I
feel quickly limited.

How are people dealing with this?

Having different desktops for a system is not a uncommon thing at all.

I believe it was integrated into the TilingWindowManager package.
It should be loadable through the Metacello Configurations Browser in 1.4, (Tools -> Configuration Browser), though I ran into a #DNU doing that...
The monticello repository is http://www.squeaksource.com/TilingWindowManager .




with -> without problems :)


My bad, was using the 1.4 One-Click posted to list some time ago.
With the one from frontpage, it loads correctly.

The way it's used in TWM doesn't really seem to be multiple desktops though, but rather snapshots of how windows were positioned at any given time.
I can't say I think it works well for that, because:
1) If you remove a browser from the screen, it disappears from all snapshots.
2) If you change selection in a browser, it changes in all snapshots.
3) If you add a browser, it's added to previous snapshots in the position you left it when hitting the back button.

Much more useful imho if the buttons could be used to just create new blank desktop with independently managed opened windows, and travel back/forward through those you've created :)
