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

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

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

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

[ANN] Pharo Launcher 2.0 released!
by Christophe Demarey July 20, 2020

July 20, 2020

Hi all, Pharo Launcher 2.0 has just been released! It is available from http://pharo.org/download <http://pharo.org/download>. This new version introduces major changes: The UI has been fully rewritten using the new Spec2 framework <https://github.com/pharo-spec/Spec> and the Commander2 library <https://github.com/pharo-spec/Commander2>. UI has been revamped to increase usability, especially for newcomers. The main window is now composed of a toolbar and the list of images. The template list is now available when clicking on the new image button. Documentation web site : All Pharo Launcher features are now explained in the new documentation available at https://pharo-project.github.io/pharo-launcher. You can contribute easily by clicking the *edit on GitHub* button. You can now have many launch configurations for an image (VM to use, vm and image arguments). It means you can use headless Pharo VM from Pharo Launcher. When creating a new image, you can specify an initialisation script that will be run once at the first image launch. It is useful to load your project code in a stock Pharo image for example. See https://pharo-project.github.io/pharo-launcher/create-images/#image-initial… You can now define your own template sources in addition to official sources (see https://pharo-project.github.io/pharo-launcher/templates/#create-your-own-l…) including authenticated sources. Improved image metadata. Pharo Launcher now manages all image metadata in a single STON file (including description, Pharo version). Big thanks to all contributors, including issue reports. It is also the opportunity to thanks Damien Cassou, the original author of Pharo Launcher. Here is the changelog: Pharo Launcher v2.0 <https://github.com/pharo-project/pharo-launcher/releases/tag/2.0> The list of closed issue is too long (68) to be listed but you can browse it here: https://github.com/pharo-project/pharo-launcher/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Acl… Here are some highlights: New features: Documentation web site Image initialisation script Launch configurations, headless VM support User template file in addition to the official template file Jenkins server template now support pipeline projects Support of private Jenkins server Support of authenticated HTTP server Improvements: Monitoring of image launch failures to give back the error message (if any) Newly created image is automatically selected in the image list Allow to set image description at creation time Better error management (you will have the choice to ignore them or debug them) Add a poor version column in image list Speedup (especially when image repository has a lot of images) Bug fixes: Fix use of system unzip on Windows Regards, The Pharo team.

Pharo 8. Epicea seems to be turned off. how do I get it working again?
by PAUL DEBRUICKER July 1, 2020

July 1, 2020

Hi- I had an image lock up so I "Force quit" it from the apple menu. When I check "Code Changes" its most recent changes are from 9 days ago. My most recent save was a few hours ago & I was able to restore the missing code between the save & now by dropping the changes file in the image. How do I double check and get epicea running again in this image? Thanks

New type of web application using HTML, CSS and Smalltalk
by Erik Stel June 26, 2020

June 26, 2020

I have published my first demo of a new type of webapplication based on a tiny Smalltalk image running in the browser, acting as the JS-engine. Create a dynamic application using Smalltalk only, with the direct manipulation you're familiar with from Smalltalk. And ...(in the near future)... with the same debugging capabilities. Still work in progress, but hopefully providing an idea of what's in store. Feel free to ask questions. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qvY7R6te7go -- Sent from: http://forum.world.st/Pharo-Smalltalk-Users-f1310670.html

Hi, has anyone an experience with running Pharo on Chromebook (using Crostini)? It worked reasonably well for me in the past (3 months ago), now I see rendering issues: [image: image.png] I tried with latest and greatest Pharo8 and fresh image, I see the same rendering issue. Thanks, Jan

Hi all This is the week-end and we worked super well yesterday during the sprint. Lot of good enhancements - Thanks a lot to all the participants. I not really happy to be forced to do it on a sunny saturday but Iâm doing it to clarify points. Esteban sent me this text that was posted on Squeak-Dev (I personally do not read squeak related forums because I have not the time and my focus is Pharo, its consortium, my team, my research and my family). We have to react because - We do not really at ***all** understand this email - We did not kicked anybody from our mailing-list from ages - so ron is lying. In the past we even had discussion with ron - so we do not really understand. May be we got problem to log on our mailing-lists. We have no idea because we are working and not looking at such things. - When we migrated smalltalkhub to readonly we payed attention to make sure that private projects stay private. We did not migrated smalltalkhub for fun. We MUST do it or it will be done by our infrastructure! - Now the cryptography packages are MIT and they are public anyway. So again we do not understand anything. We do not get why Ron contacted us because we announced the migration publicly way in advance and we will keep the Smalltalkhub frozen repo for at least next 5 years. I feel really sorry to hear such kind of email because we do not want to fight with anybody. Our goal is to make sure that people can work with Pharo and expand their business and knowledge. We are working hard to make sure that people can invent their future with Pharo and people that know us personally know that we are not lying.

If you are working on cryptography DO NOT POST your code anywhere except squeaksource. Especially if you are in the USA. The ONLY repository that is approved to host our cryptography code in the USA and therefore not subject to criminal violations is squeaksource. It is a CRIME in the USA to move code and make it available on the internet for everyone to download!
