First, thanks for sharing this with us. Now, I would really like to understand if this is a real need of a new tool or a demonstration that the current tools need some improvements. As you may know, we always have the .changes and therefore we can tools to recover lost data from there. We have the change sorter, the "recover lost code", etc. We are even able to load the .changes in another image. So...my question is, what is the actual problem/limitations with those which are "solved" with this new tool?? or in other words, why do we need this new tool? should we improve the already existing tools instead?

CategorySaver

by Sebastian Nozzi

Dear Pharo Community, I would like to share with you the work of my past weekend, and announce "CategorySaver". It is a simple utility to periodically save (file-out) a list of categories given (wildcards accepted). You can find it here: http://smalltalkhub.com/#!/~sebnozzi/CategorySaver And invoke it like this: CategorySaverPanel new openInWorld What motivated me to do this was loosing hours of work after image "hang-ups", without having saved before. In those cases I thought that it would be cool to have some kind of background process, that at least saved some recent version of the code I was working on. But only now I got myself to write it. Hopefully you are not like me, you know what you are doing, the VM never hangs on you, and don't need this utility ;-) For all others I hope you might find it helpful. Best regards, Sebastian P.S. I am kind of a Smalltlak newbie. So if you find things to improve in the code, I am glad about any tip / critique. P.S. 2 -- I was amazed at how easy it was to code the UI! UI programming in Squeak/Pharo was always an area where I thought must be incredible complicated, but thanks to UITheme's builder (Polymorph?) it's a breeze. Good work! P.S. 3 -- Did I have to manually add [ANN] to the subject? My apologies in this case. Also my apologies if this kind of mails correspond to only one of the lists.

New MongoTalk Repo

by Francois Stephany

I've moved the MongoTalk project to SmalltalkHub: http://www.smalltalkhub.com/#!/~francois/MongoTalk/ The original repo is still available but please use the new one. I don't know how to put a repo in global read/write on Smalltalkhub (is it possible?)

StartupLoader default executeAtomicItems: { StartupAction name: 'Shared Package Cache' code: [ MCCacheRepository default directory setPathName: 'C:\Smalltalk\#Shared-Package-Cache'. MCDirectoryRepository defaultDirectoryName: 'C:\Smalltalk\#Shared-Package-Cache'. ]. }.

Global package cache

by Francois Stephany

In an 1.4 summer image, executing: > MCCacheRepository default: (FileDirectory on: '/Users/fstephany/package-cache/'). in a workspace works fine. But: > StartupLoader default executeAtomicItems: { > StartupAction name: 'Global Monticello package-cache' code: [ > MCCacheRepository default: (FileDirectory on: '/Users/fstephany/package-cache/')]. > ... other StartupAction }. doesn't. The other StartupActions are executed fine (meaning that StartupLoader works). Is there something reseting the package-cache at startup?
