After a little more prodding, ScriptManager looks a lot like QuickCode, which I still use in my Dolphin image. It's great for storing/filing lots of rarely used incantations. I still like a workspace for notes and development. ________________________________________ From: pharo-project-bounces@lists.gforge.inria.fr [pharo-project-bounces@lists.gforge.inria.fr] On Behalf Of Schwab,Wilhelm K [bschwab@anest.ufl.edu] Sent: Tuesday, December 28, 2010 1:58 PM To: Pharo-project@lists.gforge.inria.fr Subject: Re: [Pharo-project] recovering closed workspace I've never really given it any thought, and workspaces do the job, but I'll kick the tires. The first thing I noticed is that when it asks for a file name, it does not use a fileopen dialog :( Same for "new folder." I assume these things go under the image folder, but the dialogs would/should make that explicit. I see no way to turn off syntax highlighting, which I often do for my scripts because they contain more notes than code and the highlighting gets in the way. BTW, Shout is amazing and is exceedingly helpful in the browsers and debugger. I try to mention that on the rare instances that highlighting is unwelcome. ________________________________________ From: pharo-project-bounces@lists.gforge.inria.fr [pharo-project-bounces@lists.gforge.inria.fr] On Behalf Of Mariano Martinez Peck [marianopeck@gmail.com] Sent: Tuesday, December 28, 2010 1:26 PM To: Pharo-project@lists.gforge.inria.fr Subject: Re: [Pharo-project] recovering closed workspace On Tue, Dec 28, 2010 at 7:16 PM, Guillermo Polito <guillermopolito@gmail.com<mailto:guillermopolito@gmail.com>> wrote: Why not having a popup asking "do you want to close it?" if it has changes? Just as any other text editor... that would be helpful, but annoying at the same time. (less than 5% of my workspace has content that I would regret of closing) Since I guess you are in a dev image, why just not using the tool Script Manager for those important workspaces with alot of stuff ? . With this you can save them and do what you want. At the same time, it is not annoying in all workspaces... cheers mariano On Tue, Dec 28, 2010 at 3:12 PM, sergio_101 <sergiolist@village-buzz.com<mailto:sergiolist@village-buzz.com>> wrote: On Tue, Dec 28, 2010 at 1:07 PM, Schwab,Wilhelm K <bschwab@anest.ufl.edu<mailto:bschwab@anest.ufl.edu>> wrote:
Not a perfect solution, but have you tried simply saving the text to a file?
