Hello I have never paid any attention to following thing, but now I use Pharo to teach students object oriented programming and there is one thing that I realized how very bad is from user experience perspective: When I am loading package with lots of dependencies, like Moose or Seaside, it may take multiple minutes (especially on Windows) and those loading bars are there half of a time, but half of a time there is nothing, just nothing - it looks like finished, but it is in fact still loading and everything is therefore sluggish. If I was not sure it is in actually still loading just fine, I would try to kill the process and try again. Example which causes such loading without much of UI is this one: Gofer it smalltalkhubUser: 'zeroflag' project: 'Teapot'; configuration; loadStable. Metacello new repository: 'http://www.smalltalkhub.com/mc/Seaside/MetacelloConfigurations/main'; configuration: 'Seaside3'; version: #'release3.2'; load: #('OneClick'). It would be nice to have some loading bar or something like "loading packages, please wait..." there at all times until baseline/configuration loading is completely done... also some confirming message like "ConfigurationOfSeaside3 loaded successfully" would be nice -- Sent from: http://forum.world.st/Pharo-Smalltalk-Developers-f1294837.html
