so, pharo-local will be. but regular convention is to store this kind of data into a hidden directory (hence it would be .pharo-local, maybe)⦠but I understand the opposition I will let it visible and we can re-check later. now, tool makers, please take into account the new FileLocator localDirectory Esteban ps: and yes, Iâm adding a setting so you can modify default local directory :)

What is the difference between play-cache play-stash
- play-cache is populated automatically when you work in the playground. - play-stash stores only the pages that you gave concrete names to. You can double click on the tab with the name of a page and you can give it another name than Untitled. In this case, the file is copied in the play-stash folder and you can search for it by name. For example, using this mechanism you can name a script that you use for loading a piece of code and find it from spotter.

Hi,
Since some time Iâve seen growing the amount of files/directories generated when running Pharo. Up to Pharo 2.0, we had just this:
Pharo.image Pharo.changes PharoDebug.log pharo-cache
now we have:
Pharo.image Pharo.changes PharoDebug.log pharo-cache epicea-sessions play-cache play-stash
it does not looks like much, but I think this does not looks professional (we take too much from user space). So I proposed (and implemented) a âconcentratorâ directory:
Pharo.image Pharo.changes ./pharo ⦠and everything for âpharo working internallyâ here
then users have again control about what they have along with the image (this allows to some nice strategies too, when we want a version that does not pollutes the file dir).
of course, this idea follows other developing spaces, where things are stored in same fashion way⦠for example in eclipse for java they store all eclipse data under .workspace directory.
so, please note that this is NOT user space⦠regular pharo users will store his files along with the image, for instance filetree repositories⦠something like:
Pharo.image Pharo.changes .pharo/ voyage/ punqlite/ etc.
well⦠I will commit a SLICE with the changes soon (is not a hard change at all).
But then:
is ./pharo a good name? will this work?
