EXIF / JPEG metadata
by Alistair Grant Nov. 30, 2025

Hi Everyone, As far as I can tell, JPEGReadWriter in Pharo 7 doesn't read (or write) the image metadata, e.g. title, keywords, exposure time, etc. Is anyone aware of a package that does? Thanks! Alistair

Re: [Pharo-users] Personal wiki / information manager

Seems that Pharo is a magnet for this kind of project. I've been writing one as well and using it to organize my research notes. Does anyone working on personal info mgmt tools want to talk offline? I expect we're running into some of the same issues, both conceptual and technical. Evan

WebDav and CalDav in Pharo ?
by CÃ©drick BÃ©ler April 13, 2022

April 13, 2022

Hi all, I do some experiments with iCal. For now I serve a full calendar over HTTP. Not bad, but it is read only. Iâd like to try CalDAV. I was looking for it, and also webDAV. Gofer it smalltalkhubUser: 'UdoSchneider' project: 'FileSystemNetwork'; configuration; load. #ConfigurationOfFileSystemNetwork asClass project stableVersion load: 'Webdav' Iâve found the project of Udo, but it doesnât load on P8. I think this is due to the stream refactoring. Right now the image hung. Iâll try maybe to load it manually. But I was wondering oof there were other alternatives ? TIA, CÃ©drick

Rounding in Floats
by Esteban Maringolo June 17, 2021

June 17, 2021

Hi, Continuing with my issues with decimals, I'm having one issue that is not clear to me why it happens. If I do: (9.1 + (-2.0)) roundTo: 0.1. "7.1000000000000005" I expect to get a single decimal Float (rounded with whatever precision, but a single decimal). Even if I do something like this: 7.1 roundTo: 0.1 It gives the wrong result. In VW and VAST it provides the right result. (9.1 + (-2.0)) roundTo: 0.1 "7.1" In Dolphin it also returns the wrong result, it seems to use the same algorithm to round it. Is this a bug? Esteban A.

Class hierarchy diagram
by Sanjay Minni May 6, 2021

Is there any way to display the Class Hierarchy as a Diagram or a indented list. Even for all the classes in a package will do. ----- cheers, Sanjay -- Sent from: http://forum.world.st/Pharo-Smalltalk-Users-f1310670.html

pharo 8 - method versions - how to see author/timestamp?
by PAUL DEBRUICKER Feb. 8, 2021

Feb. 8, 2021

Hi - Sometimes I want to revert to older versions of methods e.g. from an hour ago. In the "Recent versions of MyClass>>#myMethod" dialog no timestamps or authors are present. How do I see those? Thanks Paul

Magritte
by Sanjay Minni Jan. 25, 2021

Jan. 25, 2021

Hi I am posting here instead of the Magritte group as the readership is high. Is Magritte a robust enough package for an application with a large number of forms and sub forms. This is to be used in Pharo9 + Seaside +Willow. I am putting this question as i do not see much mention of Magritte in forums / discord of late, whereas by its description the package seems to fit a space for applications with many domain objects and associated forms. regards Sanjay ----- cheers, Sanjay -- Sent from: http://forum.world.st/Pharo-Smalltalk-Users-f1310670.html

Can a class be not equal to itself?
by Konrad Hinsen Jan. 2, 2021

Jan. 2, 2021

Hi everyone, It's been a while since I have encountered mysterious behavior in Pharo, but today it happened. I set up a dictionary with classes as keys, and got "Key not found" errors for keys that were definitely in my dictionary. A quick debugging session showed the underlying issue: I had two references to a class which look the same when inspected, but turn out to be not identical (==) and thus not equal (=). How can this happen? Konrad.

[exercism bowling challenge] Is there a better way to do this
by r.wobben＠home.nl Jan. 2, 2021

Jan. 2, 2021

Hello, To come back at this one. I made a class Bowling and a class Frame which contains two instance variables named firstThrow and secondThrow. but I still wonder how do I know which one to fill in. I can do \` (firstThrow nil?) \` but that feels not right. \ Is there a more idiomatic solution for this ? Roelof
