Slots
by Thomas Worthington May 19, 2014

May 19, 2014

I notice that "Slots" are slated for addition in Pharo 3.0. Is there anywhere I can see which model of "slots" is being suggested? I'm not sure that slots, in the sense of Javascript, are a good idea generally and, in the broader context, I'm very unhappy with the idea of messing with Smalltalk's generally clean syntax by adding new language features. Could the desired effects be achieved by subclassing Behavour or somesuch high-level approach? -- Thomas Worthington

Scroll wheel handling in Pharo 3.0
by PBK Research May 18, 2014

May 18, 2014

I have a puzzle in using the scroll wheel in Pharo 3.0. Lately I have been playing with Moose 4.8, which I think is Pharo 2.0 plus some extras, and with a fresh download of Pharo 3.0. In the Moose image, if I open a system browser, for example, I find that the scroll wheel will scroll whichever pane the cursor is in. In Pharo 3.0, it is necessary to make a pane active, by clicking in it, before it can be scrolled. I find the first possibility more convenient; for example, if I click in the categories pane to make it active, it almost always has the effect of making a selection from among the visible categories, which is not what I want. Is there any easy way of fixing the Pharo 3 image so that it will have the effect of scrolling the pane - or the window - which contains the cursor? I have searched the settings browser headings, but I could not find anything that looked relevant. Some years ago, I poked into the innards of Dolphin Smalltalk and tweaked it to produce the effect I want. It was not a major change, so it might be educational for me to try the same trick in Pharo. Still, as there is a version that does what I want, I thought I would ask if it can be done just by changing a setting. Thanks for any advice Peter Kenny

[ANN]: Tiny Gmail Contact Importer
by Sean DeNigris May 16, 2014

May 16, 2014

I wrote a tiny utility to work with Gmail contacts. It is very basic and just maps an export file in the Outlook format to GmailContact objects. It doesn't support the Google CSV format - the field order and names are different, and the file is UTF16-encoded. Enjoy! Gofer it smalltalkhubUser: 'SeanDeNigris' project: 'SeansPlayground'; package: 'GmailContact'; load. #GmailContact asClass importAllFromOutlookExport: â/path/to/contacts.csv' asFileReference.

Minimal browser
by Hilaire Fernandes May 15, 2014

May 15, 2014

Hello, With Pahro 1.4, Browser newOnClass: Number selector: #+ use to open a minimal browser on the selected method (btw, it is broken now) With: Nautilus newOnClass: Number selector: #+ I get a full browser on the method. Is it possible to have a minimal browser with Nautilus? I need it in DrGeo to let users edit scripts, I don't want them to be confused by a full browser. Thanks Hilaire -- Dr. Geo http://drgeo.eu
