I'll certainly create one to serve my own needs. I'll also think about how a more general purpose one might look. Ideally, it would just integrate with Monticello so that each package could contain its own resources. On the other hand, code is small and can easily be saved in each version whereas resources are quite large and could cause each saved thing to be huge. I'll keep people informed of where I get to.

I'll also take a look at FileSystemST and see where that leads me.

Cheers,

Jeff

Hi Jeff,

Would you have an interest looking into this and prototyping a solution?

I'm surprised this doesn't exist yet. It seems like it would be a natural thing to be part of Monticello.

Cheers,

What I would like to have is

-> A way to save files per package in the image in a virtual file system
-> Monticello support to save that virtual file system as part of the .mcz

We could clean up *a lot* of methods in the image and even save memory: right now
the "save Base64 encoded strings in methods" means that we have the data two times: the string literal and the
object created from it. (and the source on disk).

yes that would be great to have indeed.

Since I do a lot of visual work, I tend to have a lot of images (and sounds) to manage. I'd like to be able to distribute them easily but I can't seem to find a way to upload them to a shared directory. In Squeak, there was this idea of .SAR files for distributing files. Is there a good solution for this outside of the Seaside approach of embedding the file information in class methods. I'm talking about hundreds of files and multiple MBs here, rather than one or two small files.
