You can have a webpage, or even a web application (JS) and it will run exactly the same on all major, modern, web-browsers (Chromium, Safari and Firefox). Regards, Esteban A. Maringolo

Richard "The browsers are *way* more compatible than Smalltalk systems are." How so?

Re: [Pharo-users] Find/Replace class scoped

by Vitor Medina Cruz

Well, as it seems, there is no way of find/replacing other than inside a single method. As a workaround, I did the following: 1- Committed all my image work in progress; 2- Opened the project structure in an external tool (notepad++ in this case) and did the find/replace there; 3- Committed it using git command line; 4- Back to the image, I did a repair repository from iceberg checking out and ignoring changes to the image (safe because I did commit everything before) If there are many places to change, it is worth.

Re: [Pharo-users] Refactor without formatting

by Guillermo Polito

I think what Stef means: - yes, please open an issue (maybe check there is no one already there?) - If somebody wants to give it a try at fixing this, it would be SUPER welcome :P :) (and that nobody needs to be an expert to do that, itâs the other way around, you become an expert by doing it ^^) > El 20 may 2020, a las 21:16, Vitor Medina Cruz <vitormcruz(a)gmail.com> escribiÃ³: > > Ok, so should I open the issue or leave it as it is? > > On Wed, May 20, 2020 at 2:08 PM StÃ©phane Ducasse <stephane.ducasse(a)inria.fr <mailto:stephane.ducasse@inria.fr>> wrote: > There is what we would love to have and there is what we have. > It is difficult to conserve the formatting of the original method especially on extract > or more generally on code transformation. > Now it does not mean that we like it this way. > But given the ratio income/results I think that Pharo is super super good. > > But but > people can help > people can pay for more. > > S. > >> On 19 May 2020, at 19:33, Vitor Medina Cruz <vitormcruz(a)gmail.com <mailto:vitormcruz@gmail.com>> wrote: >> >> Hello, >> >> When I run a refactoring, Rename Method, for example, the refactoring is reformatting the code affected.

[ANN] Scheduler moved to GitHub pharo-contributions/Scheduler

by Torsten Bergmann

Hi; "Scheduler" ws migrated from SmalltalkHub to GitHub - it is an easy-to-use task scheduler that can run arbitrary blocks. See attached image for a quick example. A few things have been cleaned as well: - separate tests into own package - class comments - categorize classes and methods - fix lint problems - follow SUnit best practices (super tearDown, super setUp) - removed unnecessary "super new initialize" call on class side - add a Travis CI job - ... https://github.com/pharo-contributions/Scheduler It is usable and working in recent Pharo versions Enjoy! Bye T.

Re: [Pharo-users] UK Smalltalk User Group Meeting - Wednesday, May 27th

by Tim Mackinnon

Before the lockdown, when you could meet in the pub, we were blown away when Alan nervously approached us and asked if we were the UKST group as he was keen to meet some Smalltalkers as heâd been using this music system written in Smalltalk ... it was an amazing story that Iâm sure heâll get into again for everyone.

Re: [Pharo-users] Spec2 Pharo8/9; icons

by TomaÅ¾ Turk

Thanks, Stephane, I'll switch to P9. > png is better and there is a library to manage icons > I do not have the name but you can load icons. > But look around. For icons I found the necessary code in ThemeIcons>>loadIconsFromUrl. Here's a simplistic approach to load icons from PNGs in a local ZIP archive, if somebody needs it: | themeIcons newIcons | newIcons := IdentityDictionary new. themeIcons := ThemeIcons new. ((FileSystem zip: 'C:\icons\a.zip' asFileReference) open workingDirectory allChildrenMatching: '*.png') do: [ :each | newIcons at: each base asSymbol put: (themeIcons readPNGFrom: each )]. newIcons.
