Re: [Pharo-users] Form editor
by Stephan Eggermont June 4, 2014

Hi Phil, I mostly just use Gimp, but that is not a very efficient and effective solution. Most icons, especially those in flat styles, should be rendered/generated from a vector format instead of from a bitmap. They should be programmed, to be themable. Fontographer is actually a much better tool for the kind of icons found in bootstrap like styles Stephan

Form editor
by phil＠highoctane.be June 4, 2014

Hello, Is there any Form editor (bitmap form) that one could use in Pharo? Example of use would be to edit forms that are making up the icons. e.g. UIThemeWatery>>checkboxSelectedForm Exporting icons and importing them back is quite time consuming. How are you guys dealing with that? TIA Phil

Curl markup with Pillar
by Robert Shiplett June 3, 2014

June 3, 2014

re: Curl markup, as in web markup using declarative style in Curl PL from MIT, not cURL ( see www.curlap.com) My Japanese web pages are now generated using nunjucks + node.js but in the hope of using pharo 3 + Seaside on small virtual server, I thought I would see what it takes to add Curl markup to the Pilar repertoire. But the Pharo 3 RC image is giving a walkback over the configuration for Pillar, so I may not get to this this morning. mrkup, mrkdwn PS did any one see the role of an MIT OCaml / emacs guy in the Android visual app gen project from MIT ? PPS Curl Android/iOS app gen project is called "caede" as in "maple" (KAEDE)

Configuration browser and Fuel

In Pharo 3.0 we do have Fuel in the image. Now, there is also Fuel in the ConfigurationBrowser. When one wants to work with Fuel, should one update the image with what is in the ConfigurationBrowser? TIA Phil

NeoJSON mapping of nil properties
by Esteban A. Maringolo June 2, 2014

June 2, 2014

Hi all... and Sven ;-) I'm mapping my objects with NeoJSONWriter, and I found it is not writing the properties whose values are null. NeoJSONPropertyMapping>>#writeObject: anObject on: jsonMapWriter | value | value := getter value: anObject. value ifNotNil: [ jsonMapWriter writeKey: propertyName value: value as: valueSchema ] It is a good default (saves space, and cpu cycles). But in my case the consumer of the JSON objects expect the objects to have all the attributes previously defined. Is there a way I can configure the mapper or the mapping to write null when the value is nil? Thank you! Esteban A. Maringolo

Bug in Nautilus... (Pharo 3)
by JosÃ© ComesaÃ±a June 2, 2014

June 2, 2014

If I try to "move to another package" a class I always get an exception. Try moving any class present in the standard Pharo 3 to AST-Core, for example... Anyway, thanks for the great work you are doing. Regards JosÃ©

Some TDD Coding Kata videos
by Attila Magyar June 2, 2014

June 2, 2014

I'd like to share some videos about TDDing codeing katas. http://smalltalkhub.com/#!/~zeroflag/TDD-Kata Most of them are solved in a "TDD as if you meant it" style, so the code is written in the test at first, and factored out later. During this I tried to use as much refactoring as possible, instead of editing texts. After doing some tweaks, I was able to do most of the work without using the mouse too much. -- View this message in context: http://forum.world.st/Some-TDD-Coding-Kata-videos-tp4761315.html Sent from the Pharo Smalltalk Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Wouldn't it be good if STON could save ScaledDecimals as 12345.678s?. That way, we could read them back again as ScaledDecimal, instead of Float. I have tried and it seems quite useful. Regards
