Intellisense selection keys?
by Frank Church Jan. 8, 2013

Jan. 8, 2013

I can't get the Intellisense keys to respond. Whenever a suggestion comes up I can scroll up and down the list but the Enter key doesn't work. Am I doing it right? -- Frank Church ======================= http://devblog.brahmancreations.com

[PharoCasts] Athens + NativeBoost how to
by Baveco, Hans Jan. 8, 2013

Jan. 8, 2013

Hi, I tried to get Athens working (windows) following the instructions in http://www.pharocasts.com/2012/06/athens-and-native-boost-at-work.html Wasn't successful, maybe because things have changed in the meantime? (for instance, couldn't find a TCairoLibrary class, etc). Tried with both 1.4 and 2.0 beta, both with the latest NBCog vm, and with Athens 1.1 and 1.2.... Are there any updated instructions available somewhere, to get Cairo/Athens working? (I am in the first place interested in Cairo) TIA Hans

Is there a way of listing all the DoIts which have been done in a session as well as which workspaces they were done in? Are the contents of workspaces also tracked, so they can be diffed? -- Frank Church ======================= http://devblog.brahmancreations.com

Is there a bug in the way previous Workspace contents are retrieved?
by Frank Church Jan. 7, 2013

Jan. 7, 2013

When I click on the small arrow in the corner of a workspace to get the previous contents, I am unable to get back the present contents. It is as though the contents from a different and probably closed Workspace is what shows up on the list and the current text in the workspace is lost forever. -- Frank Church ======================= http://devblog.brahmancreations.com

Are comments allowed in class definitions?
by Frank Church Jan. 7, 2013

Jan. 7, 2013

Whenever I create a class, add a comment and 'accept it' the comment is removed from the definition. With methods it is fine. I am using the Pharo 1.4 Summer Edition. Is that standard behaviour? -- Frank Church ======================= http://devblog.brahmancreations.com

BlockClosure>>isClean bug?
by Johan Fabry Jan. 7, 2013

Jan. 7, 2013

Hi all, I was wondering if there is a bug in BlockClosure>>isClean. As I understand it (see method comment below), the code below should evaluate to false as it closes over foo, but it does not. Here is the comment for isClean: "Answer if the receiver does not close-over any variables other than globals, and does not ^-return (does not close over the home context). Clean blocks are amenable to being created at compile-time." | foo| foo := Time now. [foo] isClean ---> Save our in-boxes! http://emailcharter.org <--- Johan Fabry - http://pleiad.cl/~jfabry PLEIAD lab - Computer Science Department (DCC) - University of Chile

How to prevent SystemWindow from overriding the color of a Morph?
by Helene Bilbo Jan. 6, 2013

Jan. 6, 2013

Hi, when i open a Morph via openInWindow in a SystemWindow it's color is overriden by the SystemWindow or the UITheme (i suppose). See attachment for illustration (the Morph is indeed displayed in the Window, but white). Should i file a bug? Is this a feature? Can i somehow avoid this behaviour?

incrementing a dictionary value
by Ben Coman Jan. 5, 2013

Jan. 5, 2013

Is there a more elegant way to increment the value of a dictionary entry than what I have done in "this line" below? elements := #( 1 1 2 2 2 2 3 3 3 3 3 3) asOrderedCollection. elementCounter := Dictionary new. elements do: [ :key | elementCounter at: key put: (elementCounter at: key ifAbsent: [ 0 ]) + 1 ]. "this line" elementCounter inspect. "--> a Dictionary(1->2 2->4 3->6 )" cheers -ben
