Custom URI scheme for Pharo
by Manuel Leuenberger Oct. 12, 2017

Oct. 12, 2017

Hi, Is there any support from the VM/Application package to add custom URI schemes to listen to from within Pharo? I would like to have a hyperlink like âpharo://send?data=fancypantsâ <pharo://send?data=fancypants%E2%80%99> in an arbitrary document that, when clicked, switches to Pharo and calls a hook I can register. Could someone give me a hint how to achieve that, or do I have to build a little bridge application that handles the scheme registration and talks with Pharo through another channel? Currently, I only need this for OS X. Cheers, Manuel

I've added a Pharo 7 version, copied the configurations from DBXTalk/Glorp to DBXTalk/Configurations and the metarepos, and replaced the #'Pharo6.0.x' style names by #'Pharo6.x' style. Please let me know if that creates problems Stephan

how to update a pane in a customized inspector
by Steven Costiou Oct. 10, 2017

Oct. 10, 2017

Hi, I am trying to customize an inspector with a code browser, and I have in a compose method of my own browser the following: [...] browser transmit from: #methods; fromOutsidePort: #entity; to: #source; when: [ :method | method notNil ]; andShow: [ :a :method :object | self sourceOf: method for: object in: a ]. browser transmit from: #links; fromOutsidePort: #entity; to: #selectedLink; when: [ :link | link notNil ]; andShow: [ :a :link | self inspectSelectedLink: link inPresenter: a ]. [...] Is there an easy way to update the #source pane whenever one of my links is selected in my #link pane ? In my case, the source code is displayed first, and when i select a link in the #link pane i want to highlight specific parts of this source code and the easiest way would be to re-trigger the first block above. I did not try it, but it seems that i could retrieve the #source pane and the selected method manually and re-trigger the method from the second block (i.e. when a link is selected), but i am not sure that is the right way to do it... Also i was wondering if there was a video of the moldable inspector tutorial from pharo days 17 somewhere on the web, because i did not find it on youtube.

Job offers

Oct. 8, 2017

Two jobs in Europe: In Le Mans France, CGI is looking for an OO developer, ideally Smalltalk. CGI is a French IT services company and works in lots of different domains. One clearly needs to be able to work in France, and, most likely in French as well. https://cgi.njoyn.com/cgi/xweb/xweb.asp?CLID=21001&page=jobdetails&JobID=J0… The second is in Kaiserslautern Germany with Bison. Bison is a Swiss and German IT services company similar in many ways to CGI above. http://jobview.monster.com/Software-Developer-m-w-Job-Kaiserslautern-Rheinl… Good Luck!

FileReference#entries caching?
by Steven R. Baker Oct. 8, 2017

Oct. 8, 2017

Heya folks, I'm loading some PNG icons from disk, and I'm noticing some weirdness with FileReference#entries. When I inspect: '/home/srbaker/Projects/FocusFrog/icons' asFileReference entries it gives me an Array of size one, containing the refernce to the only file there. Then I delete the file, the same thing gives an array of size zero. But then when I fill the directory with a bunch of icons (240, to be exact), and inspect that line again I get zero. Eventually it gets the right answer. Is it cached or something? How do I guarantee that I'm *definitely* getting the current state of the directory on disk? Should I not even be using FileReference for this? Thanks! -Steven
