[SURVEY] Code Critics Usage
by Yuriy Tymchuk May 5, 2015

May 5, 2015

Dear Pharo developers, I kindly ask you to participate in the Code Critics mini-survey: https://www.esurveycreator.com/s/8af18d8. It will take only a coupe minutes of your time (or less), and will give us the better understanding of how Code Critics are currently used and how to improve them. Cheers! Yuriy

Woden-Roassal 3d object rotations
by Lusa Nicolas May 5, 2015

May 5, 2015

Hi, I am still working with Woden, in particular with Woden-Roassal and I noticed that rotations on objects are missing (I feel that this is weird that it doesn't have such feature so I am not excluding that I can be wrong but I didn't manage to find anything in the code to rotate objects). Now if I would like to rotate objects it wouldn't be too bad if I were using Woden at his "lowest layer" but I am actually building cubes with Woden-Roassal and there I get lost. I already made some rotations on Woden built arbitrary objects, now I would like to extend it to objects built from Woden-Roassal but I honestly miss on finding the connection between the two. I saw that the base shape is built in: RWCube>>#createBaseShapeNode, I would be able to build a rotated shape from there but that would result in all shapes being rotated in such way since in RWSimpleShape>>#buildRenderableFor:view: when we select the shape: baseShape := aView baseShapeNodeNamed: self baseShapeName ifAbsentPut: [ self createBaseShapeNode ]. we would get back the previous base shape defined. Any suggestions on how to do it? Cheers, Nicolas

Glamorous Toolkit questions
by Mariano Martinez Peck May 4, 2015

May 4, 2015

Hi guys, I am already enjoying GTSpotter every day. I cannot believe how good it is. And I tell you....I have been using this kind of tool since the first available one we have YEARS ago (Algernon, then Spotlight etc...). And GTSpotter is a life better than those. So...thank you VERY MUCH. My only problem right now is that I am afraid I am not yet using 100% of it's power. I think it has features that I read randomly in different emails and posts so I am afraid it has more... A couple of questions: 1) Is there a way to force GTSpotter preview via preferences or somehow via code so that I can build it as part of my app images? I know GTSpotter then remembers that but I would like to build images directly with that (some users of my images may now be aware of such features so I want them to see it out of the box). 2) How does it work regex or similar when you search? I seem to see things like "M B" or "M #a" etc...so...which are all symbols (#, * , ^ etc) allowed? 3) Are there more "actions" than the default action? For example, when browser classes, methods etc... default action opens a new system browser. So..are there OTHER possible actions? If true, which ones? How can I know all of the available ones? 4) GTPlayground seems to have tabs and it seems I can even rename a current playground. However...I cannot seem to be able to add more tabs and then easily move across tabs. I have to open other playgrounds for it. So...I am doing something wrong? If multiple tabs are not allow then I think the tabs are a bit confusing here. 5) What are GTPlayground "Bindings" and in which case does the "Refresh" make sense? I probably have more questions but I wanted to ask this at least. Thanks in advance, -- Mariano http://marianopeck.wordpress.com

Questions about MetaLink
by Glenn CavarlÃ© May 4, 2015

May 4, 2015

Hi, I'm playing with Slots and MethodWrappers to customize instVar reading/writing and method calls. In my experiments, Slots and MethodWrappers hold meta-description objects used at runtime to apply some filters, validations and to compose or delegate methods behavior. I'm really interested in the progress of MetaLink, I saw that it will be possible to use hooks like #instead or #arround. Are these hooks can replace the use of MethodWappers ? Will it be possible to call a MetaObject's method instead of a method's body and with the passed arguments ? The announcement of meta-levels gives me ideas, would not it be interesting to have something like meta-layers? For instance, in order to address a layer with no MetaObjects execution, a layer with MetaObjects for logging or breakpoints, an other layer with custom MetaObjects, etc. I don't see how it would be possible to limit the scope of the active layers configuration, just for a block evaluation for exemple... From RFMetaContext maybe, but how ?... It is just an idea on the fly, Maybe it's already possible to do something like that or it would be just useless in practice. Thanks a lot Marcus for your work on Slot and MetaLink. Best regards, Glenn. ----- Glenn CavarlÃ© -- View this message in context: http://forum.world.st/Questions-about-MetaLink-tp4823035.html Sent from the Pharo Smalltalk Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Issue with GT-Debugger
by Alexandre Bergel May 4, 2015

May 4, 2015

Hi! When tracing the execution in GT-debugger the text selection does not always reflect the real position of the program counter. Consider the following screenshot: I have simply pressed the step-into button, nothing more. The selection is not meaningful. Am I the only one to have noticed this? It would be great to have it fixedâ¦ Cheers, Alexandre -- _,.;:~^~:;._,.;:~^~:;._,.;:~^~:;._,.;:~^~:;._,.;: Alexandre Bergel http://www.bergel.eu ^~:;._,.;:~^~:;._,.;:~^~:;._,.;:~^~:;._,.;:~^~:;.

Pharo 4 Playground open file menu
by Esteban A. Maringolo May 4, 2015

May 4, 2015

Since the workspace is hidden (*)... what's the recommended procedure to open a smalltalk script file (.st or .ws) without having to open the FileBrowser?(**) Regards, Esteban A. Maringolo (*) I had to run "Workspace open" in a playground. (**) Which in fact doesn't open the file, but a workspace with its contents.
