Hi Tim, You could also give GTInspector a try for a more fine tuned approach to finding a morph.

On Windows, the Alt doesn't work upfront. You require Shift-Alt, but if you release the shift while continuing to hold Alt you can reverse the cycle. On OSX it is Shift-Option. cheers -ben

read an email with attachment

by Torsten Bergmann

Hi Pablo, could you be more specific: - would you like to connect to a mail server and read the mails including the attachement (if so which protocols do you need, POP, IMAP and MAPI comes to mind) - or would you just like to extract it from a saved email file format Pharo includes support for POP3 (POP3Client and ZdcSecurePOP3Client used for sending mails). Typically it is used to send mails. Dont know if current implementation has support to retrieve mail infos as well, if not it would be good when code is extended to the according RFC. If I remember correctly there was also POP3 client to retrieve mail infos to Squeak, just google it. http://smalltalk.org/videos/video_Classes_POP3Client.html There was/is also Celeste - an email reader tool for Squeak. Dont know if code is still part of the base Squeak system. Porting may be easy (file in/file out) or hard (adoption as Pharo changed a lot after forking from Squeak). http://wiki.squeak.org/squeak/1467 Also read: http://www.codejava.net/java-ee/javamail/download-attachments-in-e-mail-mes… regarding attachements. Hope this helps T.

If you hold down shift in addition to this combination, the halos will cycle in reverse. To restore the non-shift direction, there is a setting (don't recall the name off-hand).

How do I get a halo on a specific UI object in Pharo 3/4?

by Tim Mackinnon

In older versions of Squeak pharo - I think alt-click would cycle you through halos on objects in the UI. I have noticed in Pharo 3/4 - if I ctrl+shift click I get a menu that has many options, one of which is "add halo" - but how do I control which UI element I will get a halo on? Similarly - there is "inspect" in this menu, and it does give me a list of widgets (saying deepest first) - however I can't easily see which element corresponds with what is in the list? I know the old squeak halo system wasn't favoured - but now I try and find things in Pharo 3/4 - I miss the ability to visually cycle through items to understand what I can inspect? Is there no way to do this now? It was very useful.

I think I've figured out what I need to know by watching the video on the Pharo fogbugz page here - https://pharo.fogbugz.com/default.asp?W68 So I guess I will try that and see what feedback I get.

You are right, the error message should be better.
