The Spec UI Framework. first translation to korean finish.

hello. for pharo guys. Long time no see. It is not easy for Korean people to study pharo. Very few people use smalltalk. Of course, it is hard to find Korean language resources. Recently I went to find the spec framework to study Pharo. Of course I looked at morphic designer in squeak, but I believe in pharo team. I have translated it with the help of google for those who want to study. I refer to the pillar source of git. I wanted to work with pdf, but I know xetex, but I do not know about pillar and luatex. So I put it on the wiki. Thank you for always making good pharo. http://trans.onionmixer.net/mediawiki/index.php?title=TheSpecUIframework -- http://lookandwalk.com http://looknw.com | http://onionmixer.net peter yoo(Jonghwa Yoo).

Write documentation with wiki like syntax -- how do I activate the rendering?
by Torsten Bergmann Sept. 5, 2017

Hi Hannes, make sure - it is a class side method - you have no spaces before the ! marks - you reopen the help browser then it works and creates subtopics. See screenshot attached. Bye T.

Write documentation with wiki like syntax -- how do I activate the rendering?
by H. Hirzel Sept. 4, 2017

Sept. 4, 2017

Hello The Pharo 6.1 help system has an entry 'Write documentation with wiki like syntax' [1] If I follow these instructions my book named 'The name of the book I want to write' appears in as an entry in the list. But the wiki content is not rendered. Which additional steps are needed so that the wiki content is rendered? I want to get a result such as the 'Welcome to Pharo 6' page, see screen shot. Thank you for the answer in advance. Hannes [1] Usage: - Create a class-side method on the class you want to put documentation. - Add the pragma <wikiStyleHelp:> with the title of the book as parameter - The method should answer the documentation as a String (using Pier syntax. See http://www.piercms.com/doc/syntax ). Example: MyClass class>>aMethod <wikiStyleHelp: #'The name of the book I want to write'> ^ ' ! Section 1 Some text for this section !! Subsection 1.1 !!! Subsection 1.1.1 !! Subsection 1.2 ! Section 2'

[ann] moldable editor - transcript with adornments
by Tudor Girba Sept. 4, 2017

Sept. 4, 2017

Hi, We are happy to announce that the moldable editor helped us create a richer transcript: GT Transcript. The transcript is traditionally a stream of plain text. As we now have an elaborate editor, we can take advantage of it to help us display richer representations. The API is backward compatible with the existing transcript. To enable the new features, we introduced a builder. For example: transcript nextPutAll: âsomethingâ becomes transcript next putAll: âsomethingâ and after #next we can add multiple attributes that we want to affect the following insertion of a text. Below you can find an example detailing most of the API. The most notable additions is the support for expandable adornments. For example, #showException: provides an in-place expansion of the stack of the exception context. To get an idea of how this tool can be useful, take a look at the following video showing the visual logging of a Bloc animation: https://youtu.be/9VATYNaLwJY The code can be found in the new incarnation of GToolkit: Iceberg enableMetacelloIntegration: true. Metacello new baseline: 'GToolkit'; repository: 'github://feenkcom/gtoolkit/src'; load. Cheers, The feenk team -- www.tudorgirba.com www.feenk.com âSoftware has no shape.

[DesktopManager] Ctlr - D (do-it) is blocked after installation of desktop manager
by Torsten Bergmann Sept. 4, 2017

Sept. 4, 2017

Hi Hannes, The desktop manager uses "key combinations" always starting with CTRL+D (like "Desktop") so one can easily remember the possibilities: CTRL + D followed by CTRL + DââââDesktop Displayâ to display and switch between all desktops CTRL + D followed by CTRL + AââââDesktop Addâ to add a new desktop CTRL + D followed by CTRL + NââââDesktop Nextâ to go to next desktop CTRL + D followed by CTRL + PââââDesktop Previousâ to go to previous desktop CTRL + D followed by CTRL + BââââDesktop Backgroundâ to choose a background CTRL + D followed by CTRL + FââââDesktop Fullscreenâ to switch fullscreen option as can be seen in https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zpLY7uQnPsg but unfortunately CTRL+D ("single key") is also used for the "do it" in a playground. As the shortcut handler of the desktop manager is only triggered when the full key sequence is pressed the code can only check if the active hand is in an editor and allow the do it then. At least that is the only solution I've found to this problem so far. This leads to the unfortunate effect you have to press CTRL+D twice in the playground once the desktop manager is loaded. But nonetheless the "do it" is still possible - you only have to hit CTRL+D twice in the playground. Hope this helps! Bye T.

[DesktopManager] Ctlr - D (do-it) is blocked after installation of desktop manager
by H. Hirzel Sept. 4, 2017

Sept. 4, 2017

Hello After I have installed the DesktopManager in Pharo 6.1 (labelled as 6.0) I cannot use the ctrl D shortcut to issue a 'do it' command. It interferes with the ctrl-D short cut system of the desktop manager. The do-it shortcut do execute a Smalltalk expression is more important for the than the direct access to the desktop manager. How can I resolve this? Menu 'Tools -> System -> Keymap browser' gives a list of key mapping assignments, but does not allow to edit them. Regards Hannes

You can help me
by horrido Sept. 4, 2017

I'm writing an article about Pharo. I would like to list the Top 10 "really big" things that have been developed in the past several years, /or are being developed right now/. Please word it in a way that laypeople (like CTOs and non-Smalltalkers) can understand. Thanks. (I know "really big" is rather subjective. I leave it to your discretion.) -- Sent from: http://forum.world.st/Pharo-Smalltalk-Users-f1310670.html
