Re: [Pharo-users] New Pharo Booklet

by Renaud de Villemeur

Hi Stephane Your booklet is very usefull, and show stuff that can only be done by code. However, in your example, you show how to change syntax style, or enable freetype, which can also be done using the setting framework, so I was wondering, how would you position Startup Loader with the settings framework ? Next, you always use StartupLoader. In my recent Pharo 6.1 image, this seems to be replaced by class StartupPreferencesLoader. Not a big deal, I was able to find the correct class through the message, but quite confusing if you only read the booklet. I tend to use raw image, and load everything from scratch, instead of keeping multiple image around. So I try to clean things, or put things automatically at startup How to remove automatically at startup the welcome windows (probably specific to Pharo 6) World submorphs select: [ :sm | sm isSystemWindow and: [ sm label = ((Character value: 0) asString, 'Welcome')]] thenDo: [ :window | window delete ]. ] Open browser automatically on package specific to my (little) projects |browser| browser := Smalltalk tools openClassBrowser. browser open. browser ui packageSearchUpdate: 'MyPack' Cheers Renaud 2017-10-29 16:53 GMT-04:00 Stephane Ducasse <stepharo.self(a)gmail.com>: > Hi guys > > I just published a new little booklet on Pharo tips and tricks! > Available at: http://books.pharo.org > > Feedback and contributions are welcome as usual. > > Stef > >

The voice in the background behaved differetly with different players on windows 10 - in "Films and TV" and "VLC player" it comes unltil you manually switch the audio channel (it shows 2 audio channels) - In Media player it works fine though i could not find 2 audio channels --- Sanjay Minni On Fri, Oct 13, 2017 at 6:12 PM, Ben Coman <btc(a)openinworld.com> wrote: > I played C019SD-W1-S1-EN-V1.mp4 > and as well as the english voice, in the background I can still hear your > original french voice. > I'm curious the reasoning for this. > > cheers -ben > > > On Fri, Oct 13, 2017 at 3:59 AM, Stephane Ducasse <stepharo.self(a)gmail.com > > wrote: > >> I'm about to release the en versions. >> you can find them unofficially on http://www.stephaneducasse.eu/MOOC/ >> >> Stef >> >> On Tue, Oct 10, 2017 at 10:10 PM, Gour <gour(a)atmarama.com> wrote: >> > On Tue, 10 Oct 2017 21:31:55 +0200 >> > Stephane Ducasse >> > <stepharo.self(a)gmail.com> wrote: >> > >> > Hello Stef, >> > >> >> I will ask one guy thursday and let you know. >> > >> > Thanks a lot! >> > >> >> We will release Mooc with english voices (not mine else english >> >> natives would get an heart attack - I have what they call a sexy >> >> french accents ;) >> > >> > I did watch few of your Pharo-related presentations and, although not >> native, >> > happily survived. :-) >> > >> > Moreover, I'd say that your English is charming!

Good! now I would start simple in plain pillar and avoid as much as possible to use specific latex function and see if this is really a problem and then we can see if we need to extend the latex template or pillar. Pillar is not latex.

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.

Thank you Stef! I wrote documentation for my packages in Markdown + pandoc + LaTeX. The TeX macros contains syntax colorization for Smalltalk code which can be easily added to Pillar (I suppose) Would you consider adding the syntax coloring from the TeX macros I sent to you? I have some silly questions about Pillar: The documents can be integrated with toc through pandoc, can this be done in Pillar? For tables I use tabu, longtable, booktabs, what to use in Pillar? For multiple language suppor I use fontspec and lmodern, what to use in Pillar? For link I use hyperref, what to use in Pillar? I have some chapters ready and I would love to be published in a book, under the umbrella of Pharo Books: https://github.com/hernanmd/Territorial/raw/master/Territorial.pdf http://biosmalltalk.github.io/web/doc/BioSmalltalk-1.0.pdf https://github.com/PhyloclassTalk/phyloclasstalk.github.io/raw/master/doc/P… What do you think?

Hi Steph, The diagram looks cool. But may I give some positive suggestions? The goal of each diagram is not clear for me, is to understand the connection of tools? or a how to configure github in Pharo? Maybe it could be added into the diagram as a Title. So, what's the purpose of the diagram/workflow? Where I should start? Maybe adding some task ordering with numbers. 1. 2. 3 .4.... When I should "apply" the workflow? I mean: When saving changes? When cloning a repository? cloning+modification+publishing? etc I know a diagram/tools which explains very well the git nightmare: http://www.ndpsoftware.com/git-cheatsheet.html#loc=local_repo which could give some nice ideas.
