TextModel and TextInputFieldModel font-size bug?
by kmo Feb. 18, 2014

Feb. 18, 2014

When I create an interface in Spec with TextModel or TextInputFieldModel, the font-size is tiny. Same behaviour in both Windows and Linux. Is this a bug or have I missed something important? <http://forum.world.st/file/n4744094/SmallFont.png> -- View this message in context: http://forum.world.st/TextModel-and-TextInputFieldModel-font-size-bug-tp474… Sent from the Pharo Smalltalk Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Hi guys: I'm working on adding new test for the String class to improve the test coverage. Rigth now, the string class has 75,42% of coverage. I found out thanks to Hapao. Well, these ones are methods that I don't understand. what are they used for? how can I use them? - correctAgainst: continuedFrom: - correctAgainstDictionary: continuedFrom: - lineNumberCorrespondingToIndex: - correctAgainstEnumerator: continuedFrom: - tabDelimitedFieldsDo: - expandMacrosWithArguments: - indexOfWideCharacterFrom: to: Please, could you help me to understand them, in order to do write some test cases? -- Cheers, Dani

How is the screenshot tool supposed to work?
by kmo Feb. 17, 2014

Feb. 17, 2014

The screenshot tool on the World menu lets you pick the entire screen or select an area. But what do you do then? The tool doesn't seem to put the image on the clipboard and it doesn't allow you to save it as a file. How is it supposed to work? -- View this message in context: http://forum.world.st/How-is-the-screenshot-tool-supposed-to-work-tp4744162… Sent from the Pharo Smalltalk Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

How to look for local senders/implementors in a hierarchy
by Esteban A. Maringolo Feb. 17, 2014

Feb. 17, 2014

Is there any way (shortcut?) to search for the senders/implementors in a selected class or any of its subclasses? Sometimes I want to find which methods reference a particular one in my own hierarchy, and if the selector name is common I'll have to dive through a long list of methods I'm not interested in :) Regards!

CMS status
by Yuriy Tymchuk Feb. 17, 2014

Feb. 17, 2014

Hi guys, this weekend I was unlucky enough to work with WordPress and all itâs shitty php. Now obvious question is what is the status of Pharo-based CMSes and how they can be hosted. Right now Iâm looking for a free solution. Yes, I know that developers also want to eat, but, usually people use (for example) WordPress, because they can put it on a free php hosting, and I cannot promote Pharo-based solutions if you have to py for them in a first place. Also from CMS point of view, Iâm aware of Pier, but is it the best thing that I should look into? Uko

Spec and Morphs
by kmo Feb. 16, 2014

Feb. 16, 2014

I looked at Spec when it was first introduced. Then I left it alone until now when the API is more stable. I seem to recall that when Spec was first introduced I was able to simply add arbitrary Morphs to the Composable model layout. In the latest Spec, I do not seem able to do this. Is this just me? Have I just forgotten how I used to do it? Is there still a simple way to use Spec to organise morphs? If there is, can someone provide an example? Do you really have to write your own MorphicAdaptor for any morph you wish to use that doesn't already have a Spec model? -- View this message in context: http://forum.world.st/Spec-and-Morphs-tp4744084.html Sent from the Pharo Smalltalk Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Spec model attributes - is there a strategy
by kmo Feb. 16, 2014

Feb. 16, 2014

I was wondering about how the attributes of Spec models are decided on. Why does LabelModel have no font attribute? It seems obvious to me that a label should have a font. Why should LabelModel have no font attribute but an emphasis attribute? Why are we able to specify a font for a header in TreeColumnModel but not for the text in a TextInputFieldModel? Is there some deep philosophical reason behind this that I don't understand? It seems to me that Spec produces interfaces that look like the pharo interface. Spec does not give you control over fonts and colours. But if you want to write an application you might well want a particular Look and Feel. Spec currently doesn't seem to allow this - you would have to fall back on to simple Morphs. -- View this message in context: http://forum.world.st/Spec-model-attributes-is-there-a-strategy-tp4744089.h… Sent from the Pharo Smalltalk Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
