Contact for pharo association?
by Johan Fabry Feb. 21, 2014

Feb. 21, 2014

Hi all, whom do I need to mail for questions regarding the pharo association and billing? The association web site has no contact information (or at least I cannot find it). Also, I think it would be good to add contact information to the association web site. (Or make it more prominent.) ---> Save our in-boxes! http://emailcharter.org <--- Johan Fabry - http://pleiad.cl/~jfabry PLEIAD lab - Computer Science Department (DCC) - University of Chile

Spec and an application menu
by kmo Feb. 20, 2014

Feb. 20, 2014

Can someone provide example Spec code to place a menubar at the top of a window? I've been struggling with MenuModels and MenuGroups etcetera but I get something more like a pop-up menu than the typical standard main menu of an application. Any help much appreciated. -- View this message in context: http://forum.world.st/Spec-and-an-application-menu-tp4744164.html Sent from the Pharo Smalltalk Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

SerialPlugin on MacOS
by Bernat Romagosa Feb. 20, 2014

Feb. 20, 2014

Hi list, Developing a multi-platform application is not so easy when you have to deal with hardware it seems... So I'm having this PrimitiveFailed error on MacOS, using the latest stable VM listed on the pharo-project website on Pharo20: *PrimitiveFailed: primitive #primWritePortByName:from:startingAt:count: in SerialPort failed* The same code works fine both in Gnu/Linux and Win32, so I'm guessing it's a problem with the serial plugin included in this VM. Any ideas? Cheers, Bernat. -- Bernat Romagosa.

Where is hosted the latest ConfigurationOfGlorp? Because the latest one in the MetaRepo doesn't point to the latest version of the Glorp packages. Regards! Esteban A. Maringolo

Class renaming issue with Pharo3 + keyboard navigation in editor
by Manfred KrÃ¶hnert Feb. 18, 2014

Feb. 18, 2014

Hi, I am currently playing with Pharo3 and encountered an issue with class renaming in a 30767 image. The image was obtained and started with PharoLauncher for Mac rev40 from Jenkins on OS X 10.6.8. Here are the steps which lead to the problem: 1. Open Nautilus 2. Add Package: Rename-Test 3. Add Class: RenameTestClass inheriting from Object 4. Right click on RenameTestClass Class -> rename 5. Choose RenameTestClass2 6. Accept ChangesBrowser Dialog 7. => the Class panel shows the new name but the code panel does not (only after reselecting the class) Another thing which is a bit confusing is that the key navigation mapping on OS X does not match what I would expect. In most applications I use the following behavior is the default: * Command + right/left arrow: jump to end/beginning of the line * Alt + right/left arrow: jump one word right/left In Nautilus it is different: * Command + right/left: jump one word right/left * Alt + right/left: go one word right/left Is this this the intended behavior or did this also change in more recent OS X releases? If it would be better to send this to the Pharo-Dev list please let me know. Many thanks for all your great efforts, Manfred

Process Browser: bug or feature?
by Arturo Zambrano Feb. 18, 2014

Feb. 18, 2014

I'm running the beta version of Pharo3. working with some background processes, I notice that process browser does not update correctly. If I launch a new process it is not updated. When process browser is relaunched the process is there. The same happens when the process is terminated... the list in process browser is updated only when the process is terminated from the process browser UI. If I kill the process from somewhere else, it is not updated. If it is a bug I can report it on the bug tracker, please send me the URL. regards art
