EXIF / JPEG metadata

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

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

Re: [Pharo-users] Embedding pharo in C++

Hi Roland, the function vm_main_with_parameters() starts the vm and it will not return until the image finishes. In my example, only when the SDL window is closed, the quit primitive is executed and the function ends. To do a nicer POC we need to make modifications in the image, so it handles keeping the image open.

Hi-DPI Support
by Steffen MÃ¤rcker April 7, 2020

April 7, 2020

Hi, I'd like to ask about the state of Hi-DPI support for Pharo. I already found two related GitHub issues which where inconclusive so far. Does the discussion take place elsewhere? If so, where? If not: - What is the current state? - Does a plan exist how to get there? - What are the missing pieces? - How can I support this endeavor in practice? Best, Steffen

Todd, this is great, I didn't know that you are working on ActiveRecord. BTW, I have some minor additions to SQLServerPlatform (support for National Language Character Set) and OraclePlatform (Decimal data type) - is there a central git repository for Glorp so that I could PR to? Thanks and best wishes, Tomaz -- Sent from: http://forum.world.st/Pharo-Smalltalk-Users-f1310670.html

[pharo8-api-change] newTextEditor
by Hilaire March 1, 2020

March 1, 2020

Hi, RubPluggableTextMorph replaced the old PluggableTextMorph. acceptOnCR: and changedAction: are not valid any more. For the former never mind. For the latter how should it be rewritten? I read these self textArea announcer when: RubTextChanged send: #whenTextChangedInTextArea: to: self. and whenTextChangedInTextArea: anAnnouncement Â Â Â self announcer announce: anAnnouncement It looks like we have both the old and new word of changes propagation. I am wondering how to propagate it in DrGeo (pre-Announcement era) Thanks newDescriptionMorph Â Â Â ^(self Â Â Â Â Â Â newTextEditorFor: self Â Â Â Â Â Â getText: #description Â Â Â Â Â Â setText: #description: Â Â Â Â Â Â getEnabled: nil) Â Â Â Â Â Â acceptOnCR: false; Â Â Â Â Â Â setBalloonText: 'A description of the script. To help the user, describe carefully what the script does and the input arguments to select to use it.' translated; Â Â Â Â Â Â changedAction: [:text | self changed: #isValid ]; Â Â Â Â Â Â selectAll -- Dr. Geo http://drgeo.eu
