Re: [Pharo-project] Multiple desktops
How come? Maybe I should have chosen 'Multiple desktops' as the subject line. I just downloaded Pharo 1.4 a few days ago and with only one screen I feel quickly limited. How are people dealing with this? Having different desktops for a system is not a uncommon thing at all. --Hannes On 5/2/12, Esteban Lorenzano <estebanlm@gmail.com> wrote:
Hi,
I propose to just close the issue... having different words don't seems to match with current pharo approach and future envisioned scenarios. (I'm sorry if someone is expecting that)
best, Esteban

Hello
This issue http://code.google.com/p/pharo/issues/detail?id=3545 is about the feature of having multiple worlds. Status is 'Accepted'.
Accepted means accepted for thinking about, there is no commitment.
I assume it is now in Pharo 1.4.
How can I use it.
The code I found from Sean is
"Add a world:" WorldManager instance createOrSwitchToWorldNamed: 'JustAnotherWorld'.
"Return to the default world:" WorldManager instance createOrSwitchToWorldNamed: 'Pharo'.
What are the proper instructions?
It's a bug tracker entry. Not a package for users to use.

--Hannes I believe it was integrated into the TilingWindowManager package. It should be loadable through the Metacello Configurations Browser in 1.4, (Tools -> Configuration Browser), though I ran into a #DNU doing that... The monticello repository is http://www.squeaksource.com/TilingWindowManager .

I've just tried with latest Pharo 1.4 (build #424) and load it using the Metacello Configuration Browser with problems. Have you tried with a fresh 1.4 or a custom image ? Cheers, Laurent

My bad, was using the 1.4 One-Click posted to list some time ago. With the one from frontpage, it loads correctly. The way it's used in TWM doesn't really seem to be multiple desktops though, but rather snapshots of how windows were positioned at any given time. I can't say I think it works well for that, because: 1) If you remove a browser from the screen, it disappears from all snapshots. 2) If you change selection in a browser, it changes in all snapshots. 3) If you add a browser, it's added to previous snapshots in the position you left it when hitting the back button. Much more useful imho if the buttons could be used to just create new blank desktop with independently managed opened windows, and travel back/forward through those you've created :) Cheers, Henry

Ah, and I realize I didn't even try the right functionality, sorry! Maybe it's just me and my workflow, but in my eyes, switching the prominence of snapshots vs worlds(desktops) on the bar wouldn't be a bad thing :) Cheers, Henry
