Re: [Pharo-users] Alt-tab between windows

We're in agreement here. It is nog about the panes per se. It's about the fact that once you reached an artefact to read or edit, there is no need for the navigation to cover a lot of space on screen. Multiplied by the number of open browsers. Until you commence your journey through your code. Then there is the problem of navigation being much more than just packages and class hierarchies. There is the question of why and how did I get here? That area is uncovered in most IDEs - not only Smalltalk. Another problem area is the longevity of a need to have some artefact open. How often do we close 10, 15, 20 inspectors at once, because we don't need them any more? When we look for the place where something started, we travel from implementor to implementor, via some senders until we finally get to where we can answer our question af hand. Sometimes we reach a dead end, need to go back a step or two and try another branch. But does it really mean we need each stop of the path as an open window? Forever? Or are there better ways to navigate? I am getting so off-topic it hurts, but these questions need an answer, and the Smalltalk community should be one that can solve them much more easily than others because our language lets us concentrate on the problem.

[SURVEY] Pillar input/output files.
by Cyril Ferlicot May 18, 2015

May 18, 2015

Hi, I'm currently working on the way we manage the input files and the output files. The way we manage the files now makes hard some improvement of Pillar. That's why with Damien we though about makes some changes. The changes are big so I wanted to talk about that with you. We propose to have always 1 file with all the work inside. That can use the inputFile tag. For example: "${inputFile:Chapter1.pillar}$ ${inputFile:Chapter2.pillar}$ ${inputFile:Chapter3.pillar}$ ${inputFile:Chapter4.pillar}$" And the option "separateOutputFiles" will now create 1 file each time we have a new Chapter. (!Level 1 header). That will make simpler the way to number everything and to create anchor because those 2 doesn't work well with the "separateOutputFile" option. What do you thing? That would be good with you? -- Cheers Cyril Ferlicot

Re: [Pharo-users] Patterns for event handling Morphic?

Thanks Alain. On 15-05-15 23:48, Alain Plantec via Pharo-users wrote: - HandleListenEvent: is for particular purpose, used rarely. I wonder about the way I'm using it.

Reopen last closed nautilus window
by Merwan Ouddane May 18, 2015

May 18, 2015

Hello everyone, I always close some nautilus windows by mistake, and I that was really pissing me off... For people like me I made a little extension to reopen the last closed nautilus window with CTRL+MAJ+T or CMD+MAJ+T like most of internet browers (I know it erases the ifTrue: shortcut but I didn't wanted to have a shortcut who changes my habits...) Here is the repo: http://smalltalkhub.com/#!/~MerwanOuddane/NautilusSavior Cheers, Merwan

Pillar used directly from Pharo
by Jan ValÃ¡Å¡ek May 17, 2015

May 17, 2015

Hi there, I'd like to ask you, whether is here a way to use pillar internally, directly from Pharo and how to use it properly. I have found some tutorials how to use it from linux/windows command prompt, however, I'd prefer to call it in my program in pharo. Something like this -> ----------------------- header := pillarHeaderObject new. //creating pillar objects directly from my program header text:'Title of my page'. aPillarDocument add: header. //adding them to the whole document object and finally aPillarDocument exportToLatex. //export the document ---------------------- or I can just write the text in the pillar notation to "myTextObject" and then call something like-> ------- pillarParseAndExportToLatex: myTextObject. ------- Is here a way to do this? Thanks for your help :-) John.

ConfigOf in meta and project repositories
by Pierce Ng May 17, 2015

May 17, 2015

Hi all, When Torsten moved NBSQLite3 to PharoExtras on STH, he wrote a ConfigurationOf, which is in the PharoExtras/NBSQLite3 repository, and I have been updating that. As it happens, in recent images, I used the configuration browser to install NBSQLite3. After updating and committing the ConfigurationOf to support my latest changes to NBSQLite3, I see that the repository that was updated is MetaRepoForPharo40. So now there exist on STH: #1 PharoExtras/NBSQLite3/ConfigurationOfNBSQLite3-PierceNg.9 #2 Pharo/MetaRepoForPharo40/ConfigurationOfNBSQLite3-PierceNg.11 #2 is the updated one. What are the best practices to deal with this situation? Delete .9? (How?) Thanks. Pierce
