On looking at it, it appears not to really use folder and files. It might be more interesting to have a tree of scripts, which is what I did in QuickCode and have never regretted the decision. However, it looks like the help browser already does the needed tricks, and IMHO in a little nicer looking way too. Some of the more helpful buttons appear to be gone at the moment, but I suspect there is room to merge things to get the best of both. ________________________________________ From: pharo-project-bounces@lists.gforge.inria.fr [pharo-project-bounces@lists.gforge.inria.fr] On Behalf Of Mariano Martinez Peck [marianopeck@gmail.com] Sent: Tuesday, December 28, 2010 3:45 PM To: Pharo-project@lists.gforge.inria.fr Subject: [Pharo-project] ScriptManager [WAS] Re: recovering closed workspace On Tue, Dec 28, 2010 at 7:58 PM, Schwab,Wilhelm K <bschwab@anest.ufl.edu<mailto:bschwab@anest.ufl.edu>> wrote: I've never really given it any thought, and workspaces do the job, but I'll kick the tires. The first thing I noticed is that when it asks for a file name, it does not use a fileopen dialog :( Same for "new folder." I assume these things go under the image folder, but the dialogs would/should make that explicit. I see no way to turn off syntax highlighting, which I often do for my scripts because they contain more notes than code and the highlighting gets in the way. Hi Bill. I think both suggestions are good. Maybe you or Torsten have time to it. Basically, both can be done. Open a file dialog instead of just asking the name of the file / folder. And the other one, now that in pharo 1.2 we have the samlltalk and text editor, it would be easy. We can have "notes" and "scripts". Notes can just open a text editor (without colors and completion) and "scripts" a shout workspace with autocompletion + colors. Cheers mariano BTW, Shout is amazing and is exceedingly helpful in the browsers and debugger. I try to mention that on the rare instances that highlighting is unwelcome. ________________________________________ From: pharo-project-bounces@lists.gforge.inria.fr<mailto:pharo-project-bounces@lists.gforge.inria.fr> [pharo-project-bounces@lists.gforge.inria.fr<mailto:pharo-project-bounces@lists.gforge.inria.fr>] On Behalf Of Mariano Martinez Peck [marianopeck@gmail.com<mailto:marianopeck@gmail.com>] Sent: Tuesday, December 28, 2010 1:26 PM To: Pharo-project@lists.gforge.inria.fr<mailto:Pharo-project@lists.gforge.inria.fr> Subject: Re: [Pharo-project] recovering closed workspace On Tue, Dec 28, 2010 at 7:16 PM, Guillermo Polito <guillermopolito@gmail.com<mailto:guillermopolito@gmail.com><mailto:guillermopolito@gmail.com<mailto:guillermopolito@gmail.com>>> wrote: Why not having a popup asking "do you want to close it?" if it has changes? Just as any other text editor... that would be helpful, but annoying at the same time. (less than 5% of my workspace has content that I would regret of closing) Since I guess you are in a dev image, why just not using the tool Script Manager for those important workspaces with alot of stuff ? . With this you can save them and do what you want. At the same time, it is not annoying in all workspaces... cheers mariano On Tue, Dec 28, 2010 at 3:12 PM, sergio_101 <sergiolist@village-buzz.com<mailto:sergiolist@village-buzz.com><mailto:sergiolist@village-buzz.com<mailto:sergiolist@village-buzz.com>>> wrote: On Tue, Dec 28, 2010 at 1:07 PM, Schwab,Wilhelm K <bschwab@anest.ufl.edu<mailto:bschwab@anest.ufl.edu><mailto:bschwab@anest.ufl.edu<mailto:bschwab@anest.ufl.edu>>> wrote:
Not a perfect solution, but have you tried simply saving the text to a file?
