The value is updated after you save or open an image, because you could have moved the image. This is a desired behavior. I suggest that you symlink the package cache directory, this works very well for the builder to avoid that builds re-download the same versions over and over again.

Hi guys. I have changed the value of MCDirectoryRepository defaultDirectoryName by doing

MCDirectoryRepository defaultDirectoryName: '/Users/mariano/Pharo/localRepo/'.

or by the settings browser...but anyway, it seems "ignored". For example, if I now create a new repository in the monticello browser, and I download a package, the package cache used is the previous/original one (there the .image is). I want to set an specific package-cache and that all projects/packages loaded in the future take that package cache.

any ideas?

thanks

When I created the accessors and setting, the purpose was so that when you add a directory repository via the MC Browser ("+Repository"->directory), the UI would start in this directory. I wanted this because all my local repos are in the same parent directory and it saved me having to navigate there as I added every new repository. This is the only place where it is used. We could: * comment/rename the current functionality to reflect this * or, update the other use cases you describe to use it HTH, Sean -- View this message in context: http://forum.world.st/MCDirectoryRepository-defaultDirectoryName-ignored-tp3...
