HowTo take my Nautilus Groups from one image to another?
by Helene Bilbo Jan. 17, 2013

Jan. 17, 2013

Hi, i set up a bunch of useful groups in Nautilus (in Pharo 2.0) - now i want to have the same groups in a new image, of course. Is there an intended way to move the groups form one image to another?

Problem joining Pharo Association
by MartinW Jan. 17, 2013

Jan. 17, 2013

Hello, i have problems joining the Pharo Association. As i could not find a support email address, i post here. Here's what i did: (1) I set up an account with the same email address i use for this post. At this moment i was not asked to pay anything. (2) I read that my account is "inactive" and i could "renew" my subscription - which i did. (3) I payed 40 Euro via PayPal and received an receipt from PayPal. (4) 2 hours later my Pharo Association account is still "inactive" and i am still asked to "renew". (5) While i can login, i am not listet in the member list. So i hope someone will read the problem here or someone can point me to a support address. Best regards, Martin. -- View this message in context: http://forum.world.st/Problem-joining-Pharo-Association-tp4663746.html Sent from the Pharo Smalltalk Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Jan. 16, 2013

Hi folks, Today I stumbled on a strange behavior, the message withoutTrailingDigits not only removes trailing digit but also removes the leading ones. If you evaluate this: or this: you can see the problem. I've just submitted a bug here: http://code.google.com/p/pharo/issues/detail?id=7272 -- View this message in context: http://forum.world.st/String-withoutTrailingDigits-tp4663739.html Sent from the Pharo Smalltalk Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Despite not knowing him personally his name appears a lot in the Squeak mailing lists and in a lot of packages. When I saw this message I thought he passed away earlier and this post was to commemorate the event, not knowing that it was all so sudden. I am sure I will miss his presence and any contributions he would have made if we was still present with us. My condolences to his family.

Question about alias in traits
by Hernan Wilkinson Jan. 15, 2013

Jan. 15, 2013

Hi, I may have understood incorrectly the idea behind and alias when using traits, but I was expecting that when using an alias, the aliased method would be removed and all the sender of that message would be change to the new one (the alias), but I don't see that happening. Here is some code: Trait named: #SomeTrait uses: {} SomeTrait>>m1 ^ 1 SomeTrait>>m2 self m1 Object subclass: #SomeClass uses: SomeTrait @ { #m3 -> #m1} It generates: SomeClass>>m1 ^ 1 SomeClass>>m2 self m1 SomeClass>>m3 ^1 But I was specting: SomeClass>>m2 self m3 SomeClass>>m3 ^1 and the method SomeClass>>m1 removed. Was my interpretation of Alias incorrect? or is the current implementation of alias incorrect? (maybe due to some implementation problems?) Thanks!

#name
by Ben Coman Jan. 13, 2013

Jan. 13, 2013

What is the purpose of the #name method in the system? How integral/important is this method and what are the dangers of overriding it? I am getting tired of auto creating accessors and getting a #name1 method due to a clash that I happened to very commonly have 'name' as an instance variable. I have so far been changing my 'name' instance variables to 'myName' to avoid the clash because I am not comfortable with my understanding of how it ties in - but its time I tried harder to understand. cheers -ben
