funny idea Symbol vs. Selector
by stephane ducasse May 14, 2015

May 14, 2015

Hi guys I'm thinking aloud... I was wondering if we could not take advantage of a new class: Selector. MethodDict would only contain selectors and not symbols. I remember that I talked about that with hernan. Stef

Package browser?
by Rob Vens June 28, 2013

June 28, 2013

I am attempting to do the Pharo by Example book, but a package browser (which is used in the examples) is not in the 1.1.1 or 1.2 image. Should I still use categories? If I create a package in Monticello browser I am not able to add classes or anything (not as far as I could see). Just starting out using Pharo, so apologies if these questions are already answered elsewhere.

Actors library
by Alex Schenkman Jan. 24, 2012

Hi list, Is there an Actors library already available in Pharo? The part I'm interested in is the asynchronous message passing. If it has been done already, why not reuse? Thanks in advance!

portable smalltalk, how ?
by t olschewski Dec. 4, 2011

Dec. 4, 2011

(read "portable" as "running with no changes on as many smalltalk platforms as possible") I know that a certain level of portability is achieved by the ansi standard. But what if: ... the program I am going to write has GUI, graphics and network access, ... may either take command line arguments or not, ... must handle cr-lf-crlf or even UTF - and I still want it to be as portable (in the above sense) as possible. seaside, grease, or sport - or something different? Or something yet to be written? -- View this message in context: http://forum.world.st/portable-smalltalk-how-tp4118832p4118832.html Sent from the Pharo Smalltalk Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Full Screen Button would be nice
by Ted F.A. van Gaalen Dec. 3, 2011

Dec. 3, 2011

Hi there Thanks for creating version 1.3 !!!!!!! -loaded Seaside into it. -did a file-in of my Seaside pages Works. OK Still missing: What I really would like perhaps in the next release a Full Screen Toggle Button somewhere on the desktop.. or -like in the Chrome Internet Browser could you assign it to the F11 key? just an idea. Don't understand why it is hidden in Settings browser>>appearance>>desktop (IMHO it does not belong there at all it's not a Setting but just a window state..) For now, I've solved this by creating this little helper, which, due to my laziness to give it coordinates, drops a button in the upper left corner. Mais enfin, it works. The class: SimpleButtonMorph subclass: #FullScreenFlipFlopMorph instanceVariableNames: '' classVariableNames: '' poolDictionaries: '' category: 'TGUtil-One' with just this two instance methods: initialize super initialize. self target: self; label: 'Full Screen'; color: Color orange; actionSelector: #toggle; openInWorld "target is self is Smalltalk;" toggle Display toggleFullScreen In a workspace brought to life with evaluating fullScreenFlipFlop := FullScreenFlipFlopMorph new. Another question: As 1.3 uses a cog VM. Is the seasidehosting.st still using a non-cog VM? This would imply a cog VM based image would not run on the seasidehosting? What happened to the user window styles? (I only see Default and DemoMode) I liked the sort of Aqua themes (I have 7 apples, they are real and in the kitchen :o) Kind Regards TedvG

installer on l*n*x ?
by t olschewski Nov. 29, 2011

Nov. 29, 2011

where are the installer scripts of pharo and squeak ? earlier squeak versions installed themselves quite comfortably with /bin/sh INSTALL (squeak 3.9) oder make install (3.10) I need pharo system-wide with a default image residing in a default location like /usr/local/lib/... and the executable in a default location /usr/local/bin/, -plugin path, vm parameters etc. - am I expected to do all this manually and to repeat this anytime I want to upgrade ? -- View this message in context: http://forum.world.st/installer-on-l-n-x-tp4104740p4104740.html Sent from the Pharo Smalltalk Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Pharo By Example - VM issues
by Johan Fabry Nov. 28, 2011

Nov. 28, 2011

Hi all, I'm evaluating PBE (1.0) because my nephew is starting to get interested in programming :-) There is a VM issue though: the PBE website refers the pharo website to download the VM, and the only VM I can find is in the 1.3 download page. This VM however crashes with the PBE image (MacOS). It works with the latest squeakvm (non-cog) though. I think, as a minimal-effort patch, it would be good to have the PBE website refer to squeakvm.org and clearly indicate that to run the PBE image a non-cog VM should be used. Idem on the pharoproject website.
