Ok, thanks. I'll give it another shot then. I've no big problem grasping Metacello concepts: I've modularized a 400 KSLOC Java source tree with Maven POM, including parent POMs, Maven Proxy repository and associated visualizations. (Shameless plug: http://philippeback.eu/tiki-read_article.php?articleId=3) The key to all this is to invest time (lots) so that everything falls together nicely (remove dupes, run a ton of tests etc). Your imagebuilder idea provides an additional level: the ability to load everything from start to finish in a starting point. This evokes make clean; make; make install to me. Which is good: build everything in an automated step. The Pharo team scores quite well on the Joel Test if you ask me: http://www.joelonsoftware.com/articles/fog0000000043.html Phil 2012/4/22 Mariano Martinez Peck <marianopeck@gmail.com>

There is a comment on your blog article asking for details :-)
Yes, I answerd it. But I think over another post (sorry, mistake) Here is the answer: http://marianopeck.wordpress.com/2012/02/26/nautilus-the-reborn-of-the-syste...

BTW, This Builder thing of yours deserves a chapter in PBE2.
I think the idea is really really cool. However, after several months I noticed Metacello is not ready for that :( See: http://forum.world.st/WTF-td4557982.html Dale says that next version of Metacello may help for that...so maybe we are lucky.
I volunteer to help once I'll get a simple thing working on my side. Which I failed to get so far.
That would be nice. Let me know if I can help you with the failure.

Hi,
for having a search bar, you can give Spotlight a try.
Gofer it squeaksource: 'Spotlight'; package: 'ConfigurationOfSpotlight'; load. (ConfigurationOfSpotlight project version: #bleedingEdge) load.
then, just press shift+enter :)
is not finished (because nobody is using it but me, he)
Do not forget me ;) In fact, I vote for including Spotlight in Pharo 2.0 (and remove it from #cleanUpForProduction)
, but it is useful... it is just a OCompletion bar resembling spotlight from macs.
best, Esteban

Yes, Nautilus is ubernice. Especially given the forthcoming search bar :-p
The help panel cutting the bottom pane in two is all right but then, could we have it with a smaller font? I drives me nuts to have to scroll down there.

Wow, Nautilus is *really* fun to use! I have quite a few ideas for plugins...
A few suggestions... * Hierarchical package list - also, since with Metacello the convention is (e.g. P-Core, P-UI, P-Tests) with no overarching package, it should group all packages matching P-*, even if they are technically separate packages * I miss the search bar from OB where I could just start typing as soon as I opened the window. It seems that Nautilus doesn't set the keyboard focus anywhere useful. Options: - search bar - typing brings up the class search dialog - give keyboard focus to the package list so I can use the shortcuts right away. This may be the best one because I have access to 3 options: - cmd-F to search packages - cmd-f to search classes - start typing to do a basic package search * creating new methods - when you click a protocol name, the "messageSelectorAndArgumentNames" template is displayed in the code pane, and is pre-selected. I found this very confusing as a newbie because the selection made me think that I could start typing to replace the template, but the keyboard focus is not on the template. It's also useless because when you click on the code pane, it unselects, so you have to double-click anyway. Two suggestions - from the class pane, protocol pane, or both, have an "add method" menu item that transfers focus to the preselected template - when just clicking on a protocol, don't pre-select the template * back/forward buttons for history navigation? * a centralized place to put/list plugins so we can share them
Many thanks to Benjamin. This was sorely needed!
Cheers, Sean
