[Pharo-project] Open another image with Pharo 1.1.1 one-click on Mac OS
Is it possible to setup a one-click Pharo.app to ask which image to open at startup? It saves images inside Pharo.app package which is great, but how to open them? TIA -- Dennis Schetinin
On Linux, I simply edit the shell script to use the image of interest. I don't know enough about macs to figure out whether "launch xyz.app" is using the shell script or doing something completely different. Anybody? ________________________________________ From: pharo-project-bounces@lists.gforge.inria.fr [pharo-project-bounces@lists.gforge.inria.fr] On Behalf Of Dennis Schetinin [chaetal@gmail.com] Sent: Wednesday, February 16, 2011 10:39 AM To: Pharo-project Subject: [Pharo-project] Open another image with Pharo 1.1.1 one-click on Mac OS Is it possible to setup a one-click Pharo.app to ask which image to open at startup?

I found an association <key>SqueakImageName</key> <string>Pharo.image</string> in *Info.plist* file inside Pharo.app bundle and replaced it with <key>SqueakImagePath</key> <string>/Applications/Pharo.app/Contents/Resources</string> (See http://www.smalltalkconsulting.com/html/squeakinfoplist.html for a list of available options) Now Pharo asks for image file but still using ~/Documents in the Open File dialog. I don't know if it is possible to open an image from inside the Pharo.app. 2011/2/16 Schwab,Wilhelm K <bschwab@anest.ufl.edu>

The one-click image is more for (absolute) beginners and casual users. Once you really get started with Smalltalk, you should learn and become comfortable with the four key elements needed: image file changes file vm sources file Most users will have many images/changes files and multiple VMs, so you most often will have to make a choice, right-clicking on an image file and doing an Open with.. using the right VM is what I do.

Dennis, Select the Pharo.app icon in the Finder, right-click to open the menu, select 'Show Package Contents', in there you will find the image and changes files and much more. Sven
