PharoLauncher is cool!! Once I realized I could specify the image folder with "PhLDirectoryBasedImageRepository location: aFileReference", I was very happy (I won't start the "images don't belong in ApplicationSupport thread again, promise ;)).
There is however one thing that I think could be very confusing... the build artifact is called "Pharo_0.2.4.dmg". Now I understand the rationale that for a new user we are trying for "PharoLauncher = Pharo", but even I was a little confused seeing version 0.2.4. Since it's only an installer, if we really need its version number in the artifact, how about "Pharo_Installer_0.2.4.dmg" or even the more verbose but perhaps clearer "Pharo_4.0_ Installer_0.2.4.dmg"? The application ultimately gets installed as "Pharo" anyway.
Some cool things: - the fullscreen UI is neat - dropping down into developer mode is seemless and works well
One other suggestion: I'm sure this must have been brought up before, but it seems to download a fresh image every time (e.g. even if two images are created from the same template within a few seconds). It seems like it should be possible to do some caching here...
There is some kind of "cache". The "local" template (at the top of the right pane lists all local (downloaded) templates.
