Startup Preferences are great, but I felt limited by the "evaluate text files" approach, so I thought, "what's the minimum amount of code necessary to bootstrap into real smalltalk?" I came up with a really simple .st preference file that just loads a Metacello config with all my preferences. One cool thing is that this file never changes; all updates are to the packages which are loaded by the config. Talking to Ben at ESUG, I realized this might be helpful to people so I put it at http://smalltalkhub.com/#!/~SeanDeNigris/DeNigrisPreferences . There may be some stuff hardcoded, but at least you can see (and steal ;)) the approach if you find it valuable. There is more description in the project info on sthub. HTH. ----- Cheers, Sean -- View this message in context: http://forum.world.st/Startup-Preferences-An-Alternative-tp4713968.html Sent from the Pharo Smalltalk Developers mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
