Re: [Pharo-project] Best way for embed a file on Smalltalk image method

      Use method tags.  See e.g. Travis Griggs' assets framework.  You could use
something like

courierNewBoldttf
    <fontName: 'Courier New Bold.ttf'
    encoding: 'gzip'
    data:
'AAEAAAATAQAABAAwRFNJR0rTjTkACiUQAAAbgEdERUYTqQ1VAApAkAAAAkxHUE9T3wr9iAAK
QtwAADeeR1NVQgwWqYIACnp8AAAT1k9TLzIQrF1xAAABuAAAAGBWRE1YNVhPeQAAGrwAABGU
Y21hcHepKTsAACxQAAAhqmN2dCCka4hDAABqbAAACA5mcGdtUXaa9wAATfwAAAdZZ2FzcAAW
AAkACiUAAAAAEGdseWbVwXRoAACjvAAI9Z5oZWFk05ZxuQAAATwAAAA2aGhlYQrAAZoAAAF0
.......... '.

and extracting the data is easy.

Hi
IÂ´m doing a class for embed files in class methods. I want know if exists a
best way for do that task than IÂ´m using... I do something like that...
codeSource := CLStringBuilder new.
               codeSource appendLine: nameOfResource; tab;
                                       appendFormat: '^''{1}'' -> '''
withValues: {fileName}.
readStream := FileStream readOnlyFileNamed: aFilePath.
base64Contents := (Base64MimeConverter mimeEncode:
readStream binary)
contents.
codeSource append: base64Contents asString.
               codeSource append:''''.
CLSystem createMessageInClass: self
                       withCodeSource: (codeSource asString)
                       inProtocol: 'resources'
                       inClassSide: true.
I get the next result:
courierNewBoldttf
^'Courier New Bold.ttf' ->
'AAEAAAATAQAABAAwRFNJR0rTjTkACiUQAAAbgEdERUYTqQ1VAApAkAAAAkxHUE9T3wr9iAAK

.......... '.
Exists a enhanced way for do that? My main problem is the image grow very
much. When I export to Monticello I get a file of 900 KB. When embed a file
of 600KB the final size on Monticello file is 2MB!! and almost 4MB of
difference in size of image  :(
Many thanks for the help
