Pharo 6.1 UTF8InvalidText error
by ÐÐ¸ÐºÐµÐ½ÑÐ¸Ð¹ ÐÐ¾ÑÐ°Ð¿Ð¾Ð² Nov. 10, 2017

Nov. 10, 2017

Good day! Now i download fresh latest pharo archive and unzipped it to C:\Pharo 6.1. The error still exists. Debugging shows that error comes with reading from environment varaible: ... ByteString(String) convertFromWithConverter: FilePathEncoder class decode: WindowsResolver(platformResolver) resolveString: WindowsResolver(platformResolver) directoryFromEnvVariableNamed:or: ... it tries to read 'USERPROFILE', get envValue 'C:\Users\ÐÐ¸ÐºÐµÐ½ÑÐ¸Ð¹' and can't parse cyrillic characters in this path. Please, tell me how to fix it by myself. Best regards, Vikenti.

including Pillar in Pharo image by default
by Peter Uhnak Nov. 10, 2017

Nov. 10, 2017

Hi, I would like to propose including Pillar in the Pharo image by default. My reasoning: Since we are moving to git, and most people will use github, gitlab, and the likes, it is expected to include a README.md file (or possibly more extensive documentation) alongside the code. Which means that people will (and are) writing the README mostly by hand, which of course is problematic, as e.g. code snippets can get deprecated, screenshots become outdated, etc. As Pillar tries to address these problems, it would make sense to me to include Pillar in the image by default, as anyone using git (which eventually should be everyone) will most likely benefit from writing their documentation in Pillar. Similarly using Pillar would open an avenue to provide the documentation in-image, e.g. one exporter for html/markdown, and another one for Pharo's Help system. I could, of course, install Pillar every time, but considering thats extra effort and in the extra time I can fix the issues by hand, I don't have such an incentive to use Pillar for this. Questions & Problems: I don't know by how much would pillar increase the image size. Perhaps there could be (a) "lightweight Pillar" (that would include just pillar & markdown exporter), or (b) we would have different images for different uses. By different images I mean something along the lines of a) developer image - meant to be directly used by developers to create their software b) production image - as a foundation for running systems / users Does this make sense?

i18n in Pharo

Thanks all for a feedback! I really feel that i'm not alone :) > Vikenti did you check the Entreprise Pharo book because it contains > nice chapters from svn on cahracter encoding. Thank you, i'll take a look at this chapter. And i'll look at gettext. > Did you report it? Yes, i reported it from Pharo IDE. If i need to create a ticket in some bugtracker please explain me where and how to do it. > We are slowly deprecating the old streams (because they are messy) and > replacing then with ZnStreams. > Now if you want to help this would be useful to produce a better Pharo. I'll be glad to help to make Pharo better. I think there's some basic tasks every language\platform should do. For example, starting from windows 3.1 there was a way to put resources with application and load it - strings, images, bytearrays. Delphi goes further and created the advanced system to store almost any resource in simple standard way. And so on. Now, we live in 2017 year, XXIst century has come and for me it is very strange to solve such standard tasks every time i need it. I feel like i'm back to 90's - first of all, you waste your time to create libs for all your stadard needs, then you begin to create applications. I think, Pharo is very great system, but lacks of some basic things to create commercial applications (and to involve more people!). These things (in my case) are: 1. standard way to create UI. Spec is great, though it has some bugs (i put a treeview into tabbed view and have some unpredictable bugs with drag-n-drop while alone drag-n-drop works fine if not in tabbed view). If there will be a form constructor like in Cincom VW, Dolphin Smalltalk or ... QT designer - it will significantly lower time costs on constructing lots of forms and. This is the way that make Delphi popular, and now Lazarus goes this way. + there should be documentation on creating custom components. Pharo book contains more on this topic but not all. Lots of time is wasted to look for code and understand what is going on. 2. Common way to store resources. Like in Cincom VW - "install bytearray on accessor" or via text representation. It is simple but we always waste time to create some unique mechanism to load resources. We shouldn't waste this time, just need to make few calls using single simple api. 3. I18n. The app i working on now need english\french\german + russian + chineese\japaneese + (maybe arabic) languages. It was simple to do this with Cincom VW but it is hell with Pharo. Even Delphi from yearly 2000 could do this. 4. Deployment of applications. We don't play childish games, we are not students, we make serious applications for serious tasks, and we want to sell them, so we must have a common tool to delpoy: - strip code - maybe some cryptography on loaging code or hash-sum to check if code is changed by third side. - create a number of files for simple start of application. And this tool should work on all main systems: windows, *nix, MacOS. (+ optional additional functions to check license key\generate licenses etc). These tasks are always solved in commercial - oriented solutions. And while Pharo has no standard ways to do them ... there will be less big projects despite the fact Pharo is very powerful platform. It is only my opinion. best regards, Vikenti Potapov.

LiteratureResearcher - where graphs, PDFs, and BibTex happily live together
by Manuel Leuenberger Nov. 9, 2017

Nov. 9, 2017

Hi everyone, I was experimenting in the last few weeks with my take on literature research. For me, the corpus of scientific papers form an interconnected graph, not those plain lists and tables we keep in our bibliographies. So, here is the first prototype that has Google Scholar integration for search, can fetch PDFs from IEEE and ACM, extracts metadata from PDFs - all this results in hyperlinked PDFs! See a demo here: https://youtu.be/EcK3Pt_WnEw <https://youtu.be/EcK3Pt_WnEw> Also slides from the SCG seminar here: http://scg.unibe.ch/download/softwarecomposition/2017-10-31-Leuenberger-ILE… <http://scg.unibe.ch/download/softwarecomposition/2017-10-31-Leuenberger-ILE…> I plan on packaging it, so that those who are interested can check it out themselves (help wanted!). Currently, it only works on macOS. What do you think of my approach? Which use cases should be added? Cheers, Manuel

Re: [Pharo-users] Writing "powerpoint" like presentations in Pharo?

Lots of tiny things, resulting in presentations not looking very good. I have done a lot of workshops with glamour based browsers, integrating (visualization) exercises in the glamour browser just mapping them to methods. It works well and is easy to do. And the font metrics were not correct, not supporting ligatures and kerning. There was a lack of support for adding media in an easy-to-distribute format, no support for multiple monitors, no HiDPI display support, bad support for rotating text and scaling without artifacts. And in Pharo the continuous change resulting in each workshop needing fixing each time I gave it, and the lack of widespread morphic knowledge and slow and slightly uncoordinated removal of features that were seen as unmaintainable and or not used. So I'm very happy that finally a lot of the things I've been waiting for are now coming together and I can switch to the easier problem :) > And, in fact, it is also quite demoralizing to have to use this !@#$% > non-WYSIWYG horrible web editor to make this comment ....

UFFI with asynchronous callbacks
by Jan Cada Nov. 8, 2017

Nov. 8, 2017

Hi, I would like to connect fingerprint reader to pharo - so far I am able to use C library to connect to it using UFFI, however the problem is that I can wait for fingerprint indefinitely ( blocking call to library) or register call-back for moment when fingerprint is available. The registration function returns immediately, so it is clear that the callback will be called from another thread. Is such situation supported by UFFI ? Thanks for any tip, Jan

Smalltalk Argument
by Paulo R. Dellani Nov. 8, 2017

Nov. 8, 2017

Dear all, after using Smalltalk for several years I developed a passion for the language (how not to?), and Pharo is just so great to develop with. So thank you guys for keeping this wonderful project running. Unfortunately, it is not easy to always point out why Smalltalk should be employed as "main development language" in a team or for a project. In the last discussion of this sort I was confronted with the question "where are we going to get new smalltalk developers if our startup grows or if you go?". Well, I had no good answer to that. What would have you answered? Cheers, Paulo
